We had an amazing experience thanks to Chris. He is a great teacher, extremely patient, calm and knowledgeable. Always had a smile on his face even when we lost a fish. He made you feel at ease and never made you feel like you are a newbee at the sport. Whether you are going fishing for the first time or are experienced at it, I would highly recommend going on Chris's boat. It had two fully covered tables that comfortably could seat 4 people. Ideally, the boat is good for 1-4 guests. Thanks Chris for the wonderful memories!

Made a last minute booking with Chris to take my wife and two land-locked pals from Alberta on a fishing experience. 5 hours off of Cape Mudge watching the whales and reeling in fish!
Chris was an awesome guide, kept everything interesting on the trip - we saw humpbacks, seals, caught a couple of chinook, a couple of rock fish and a couple of ling cod. Only the salmon were big enough to keep (eating them tonight!). Chris cleaned the fish back at the dock and showed us how to fillet them properly.
The boat was really comfortable and would be easy to be in whatever the weather.
We haven't stopped talking about the trip since we got back, and we will definitely be calling on him again for another trip, perhaps for an 8 hour trip next time.
We also run an AirBnB in our spare time and have no hesitation in recommending Chris to all our future guests.

Chris was a great guide and host and definitely wanted us to enjoy the fishing experience. His boat was very clean and well equipped. Chris was very knowledgeable on where and how to fish and catered to me being a novice, his patience and friendly demeanor was amazing.
Both my husband and I can’t say enough great things about what an amazing experience we had. It was such an enjoyable afternoon and we will definitely come back. We would highly recommend Chris at Outside Charters to any novice or experienced fisherman out there.

Chris runs a first class operation. He runs a new NWAC boat equipped with very good reels (wide arbor for deep trolling), rods, riggers and motors. The boat is solid, steady and comfortable. He will work an area hard, then be willing to move on, or change gear if no action after a while. He communicates well. No surprises. His concern about angler safety is present right from the start. The dock and cleaning station were well equipped and handy. He kept our fish in ice. We lucked out today with a couple nice spring salmon and numerous humpback whale sightings. In one area, the bait was thick and the animal kingdom was feeding, from salmon, to whales, sea lions and birds. I have fished with many guides over the past 20+ years in the PNW and would definitely recommend Chris.

Excellent day fishing around Campbell River with Outsider Charters. Chris the guide was very knowledgeable of the area and boat and equipment used was top quality. Weather was great and we managed to catch a view fish despite being out of season. Overall a truely rememberable day and I recommend fishing with Chris to anybody.

We booked Chris for a single day Salmon charter and had a wonderful experience! First off, his boat is one of the nicest fishing boats I have ever been on, the enclosed cabin made it very comfortable for a group of five and all of the gear was top of the line. It was so nice to be out of the elements and out of the way when taking turns catching fish. Chris is an extremely knowledgeable guide and worked very hard to get us on fish throughout our 8 hour charter. Chris was very responsive to all of my questions leading up to the trip and had great communication.
I would highly recommend Outside charters to anyone looking to have a great guide and experience fishing out of Campbell River

Chris was a very professional yet laid back guide, he was knowledgeable and helpful and made kept in contact with us and genuinely tried his best to give us an excellent fishing experience. He made us feel welcome and had great communication, he gave us helpful tips on how to make the best of our catch and how to bring it home across province. You can tell Chris is knowledgeable and he is very good at what he does. He listens well and we couldn’t be happier with him and how our day went. His equipment is well maintained and you can tell he is a careful, attentive and kind individual that loves sharing his passion for fishing

We had an awesome day on the water. Chris is an excellent guide, made sure we had a lot of fun, and got everything we wanted out of our fishing trip.
The boat is really well setup and with Chris’s help we caught a whole range of fish and managed to fit in some sight seeing.
Definitely recommend Chris and Outsider Charters.

Truly a wonderful experience! When you’re spending a day on a boat with someone, you hope they’re exactly like Chris—informative, helpful, fun and patient. I’m not an experienced fisher but Chris uses all of his expertise to make you feel like one. Couldn’t recommend him more highly!

My friends and I had the absolute pleasure of spending 2 days on Chris’ boat this weekend. His boat was clean and equipment was in fantastic shape. He is punctual, professional and super easy to get along with. Our group varied in experience levels and we all left feeling like we learned new techniques and had a blast doing it. I would recommend a trip with Outsider Charters, without reservation, to anyone looking for an exceptional fishing experience with a knowledgeable guide in Campbell River.
