What visitors say
Sunset Charters has been taking anglers out of Prince Rupert for well over a decade, based on reviews spanning ten years. The rating is consistently high, and many reviewers are repeat customers who come back every season.
The operation runs several boats and guides, and reviewers praise nearly all of them by name for knowing where the fish are and keeping lines working all day. Boats are described as clean, comfortable and well equipped, with cabins to get out of the weather. One recent guest said booking communication was excellent and the online FAQ helped with planning.
Catches include spring salmon, halibut, lingcod and rockfish, with crabbing added on some trips. Multi-day charters are common, and some groups have stayed at the company's camp or a rental suite set up for cooking the catch. Beginners, teenagers and a 12-year-old on his first trip all had good days, and reviewers mention whales and sea lion haul-outs along the way.
Complaints are rare; the single one-star review has no detail about what went wrong. Days are long, around ten hours on some trips, so bring food, layers and rain gear.
