Tidal Tofino
A Tofino fishing charter with a spotless five-star record, run by a patient, upbeat captain who puts beginners and families onto halibut, salmon and lingcod along a scenic stretch of coast.
What visitors say
Tidal Tofino is a small charter operating out of Tofino, and nearly all of its reviews have come in recently, which suggests a relatively new or newly listed business. Every one is five stars, and most name the captain, Chris.
Guests describe the boat as clean, comfortable and well maintained, with good gear. The captain is praised for explaining things clearly and keeping safety front and centre, and several first-time ocean anglers said he had them feeling confident quickly. Halibut limits came fast on some trips, with time left over to troll for salmon. When one guest got seasick, he moved to calmer water.
Mixed-species days are common, with halibut, salmon, lingcod and rockfish all mentioned, and crabbing is offered too. Reviewers also talk about the coastal scenery, a stop at the hot springs and a good soundtrack on board. Families say he was great with kids.
There are no complaints on record, though the review history is short. If you're prone to seasickness, bring remedies; the open coast can be lively.
