Thunder 1 Adventures
A liveaboard fishing and wildlife charter out of Prince Rupert, BC, run by a husband-and-wife team known for great salmon and halibut fishing and outstanding meals on board.
What visitors say
Thunder 1 Adventures runs multi-day liveaboard trips from Prince Rupert, with Doug as captain and fishing guide and Deb as first mate and cook. Almost every review is five stars, and many guests are repeat customers who return year after year with different family members.
Because guests stay on the boat, there's no daily run out to the fishing grounds, which several reviewers appreciate. Groups report catching limits of salmon, including coho, plus halibut and cod, and pulling prawn pots for dinner. The vessel is described as comfortable in both rain and heat. Deb's cooking is mentioned in nearly every review, from fresh spot prawns to hearty meals that keep people going through long days.
It suits families, father-and-son trips and anglers of all levels, with Doug's patient teaching getting frequent praise. Guests also mention eagles and other wildlife, spectacular scenery, and a welcome break from phones and screens.
There are no specific complaints in the reviews. Trips book up, and one family got a spot only through a last-minute cancellation, so reserve well ahead. Morning fog on the coast is common.
