VICTORY CHARTERS
A Victoria saltwater charter aboard a spacious boat, known for salmon and crab trips with orca sightings, relaxed family outings for larger groups, and memorial ash scatterings at sea.
What visitors say
Victory Charters runs fishing and sightseeing trips out of Victoria on a boat reviewers describe as clean and spacious, with a lookout and room for groups of ten or more. Nearly every review is five stars, and most praise the skipper and his deckhand for being organized, patient and easygoing.
Salmon is the main target, with reviewers mentioning coho and chinook, and crab traps add to the haul; one group went home with half a dozen crab for dinner. Other catches include bass. On slower days the crew still worked to get everyone something, and one six-hour trip produced over 100 pounds of fish to take home.
The charter suits families and celebrations. A three-generation party of ten all caught fish, a group of eleven marked Father's Day on board, and guests have been happy with how the crew accommodates wishes, such as moving to calmer water when someone felt unwell. Orcas, sea lions and otters are common sightings. The business also offers memorial trips, and one family described scattering a parent's ashes at sea as a fitting send-off.
There are no recurring complaints, though most reviews are two or more years old. An older review refers to the boat under a different charter name, so confirm current details and the departure point when booking.
