A husband-and-wife guided saltwater charter in Campbell River, BC, with a perfect review record for its purpose-built boat, generous service and consistent salmon limits.
What visitors say
Northwest Saltwater Adventures is a husband-and-wife charter out of Campbell River, and every one of its 24 reviews is five stars. Guests describe the pair as warm, professional guides who look after every detail.
The purpose-built boat gets plenty of praise for being spotless, comfortable and well equipped with top-end gear. Reviewers say the guides stay calm and keep lines organised when things get busy, such as a double hookup with crossed lines. On windy days when other boats headed in, one group kept fishing comfortably and still filled their limit. Catches are cleaned and filleted back at the dock.
Chinook salmon is the main target, with lingcod and rockfish also mentioned, and several people talk about catching the biggest springs of their lives. Trips can include some sightseeing, with waterfalls, humpback whales and a grizzly bear on shore all reported. It suits families, multi-generation groups and first-time charter guests, and one parent praised how well the guides handled children with extra needs.
There are no complaints in the reviews. One evening trip was slower than usual, and the guide stayed out an extra hour at no charge, which says a lot about the service. Most reviews are a few years old, so confirm current trip options when you book.
