What a day! Luck was on our side, or was it the hard working captain mark? A gloomy day turned to sunny skies and the ocean was glass. Mark took the time to try different spots and depths to ensure we found the fish… and we did! After limiting out on chinooks, mark promptly reeled in and travelled to a new spot to target coho and it paid off. Being a first time salmon fisher lady myself, mark was patient and gave great direction, his laid back personality made for a great first experience fishing in ucluelet.
Great perks - there was a bathroom on board, everything was spotless and it was a comfortable ride.

From the time we met Mark at his expertly outfitted boat to when we left the next day we could not have enjoyed our time more. With our limit of salmon in hand (and halibut) we left with smiles on our faces and our favourite food expertly processed and being shipped home. Mark is a friendly, professional and safety conscious skipper, which made my wife very happy. We will likely make this an annual trip and Mark will for sure be our skipper. Thanks so much!

Amazing day of Fishing with Mark! Our family were in great hands, felt 100% safe and brought home a boatload of salmon. Mark is great with the kids and knew all the best fishing spots. A thoroughly enjoyable day!

We hired Mark on July 18th 2021 to go fishing as a family. Mark was honest and said there are no guarantees fishing but said he would work hard for us and he really delivered! We had a great morning and our children all landed very big salmon! Many people on the dock were asking where we caught the big fish! Huge memories for our children ! Thank you Mark we will not hesitate to hire your experience again!

First of all, I have fished the Atlantic and Pacific oceans many times, but do not own my own boat. Very familiar with ocean fishing.
Guide was Mark.
Positives;
- Guide has a big comfortable boat
- Guide is safe
- Guide knows fishing regulations (he should)
- Guide gave us a partial refund
Negatives;
- Guide messed up (dragging too low on the bottom), wrecked downrigger, lost tackle
- poor time management as guide was more concerned about himself, and his 1:00 pm charter, than he was our 5:00 am charter
- Guide was rude and arrogant
- after booking and paying full amount of charter BEFORE getting on his boat, he tells us, catching lots of fish for us is not his thing. He says we hired the wrong guide, as he will enjoy the day, and maybe we will catch a few fish. I HIRED HIM TO CATCH US ALOT OF FISH, and to FISH for us, not take a wildlife tour.
- we caught zero fish, after investing thousands just to get to his boat (flights, hotels, etc.)
- night before we heard from other locals, the guide was a poor fisherman. It was too late for us to change the charter.
- Web page leads you to believe guide is a great fisherman .... NOT the case.
I recommend to others, find another charter, and hire a better guide. DO YOUR RESEARCH, and TALK to other captains at Ucluelet, BEFORE hiring this charter. PLEASE, do yourself a favor. I WOULD NEVER, EVER, EVER, HIRE THIS CHARTER again.

We booked a 4 hr morning trip, and Mark was very friendly! Nice boat, he was safety oriented but most importantly, we hooked 5 and landed 3 beautiful chinook salmon! Would definitely recommend and book again.

My family and I went on a full day fishing trip with Mark on September 10th, targeting Chinook Salmon. We got out bright and early and hooked onto two fish in the first hour (the second being 35lbs). Mark gave us the choice of continuing to target Chinook or going out to bottom fish. He recommended we stick to Salmon, explaining how the run works and the importance of putting in the time (but was completely okay with either decision). Sticking to salmon paid off and we got 7 Salmon to the boat and more than 10 hits we didn't get to the boat. Pretty fantastic day late in the run! The boat was extremely nice and the gear was in great shape. Mark knows what he is doing!

We have a PHENOMENAL morning on the water with Mark. He was very knowledgeable and so great with our kids. He made the whole experience fun and exciting for everyone. We can’t wait to come back to Ucluelet and fish with Mark again.
