Andrew is an exceptional guide with a wealth of knowledge experience and unreal setup in Sooke. We have an amazing day out with him with our group of 8. Could not recommend a better outfit in Sooke. Tons of wildlife including Orcas !!

We can't recommend Captain Andrew and King Tide Fishing Charters highly enough!! He took 8 of us out for a wonderful morning on the water on Easter Sunday. It was such a treat to be fishing in an exceptional setting with a highly experienced guide. To top it all off, we saw sea lions and even a pod of orcas!!

We had a great day fishing with Captain Cam. The fishing was great. My grandsons really enjoyed catching multiple salmon and helping pull in the crab traps on our way back to the dock. We highly recommend Cam as your captain. ( remember to ask for him when booking your fishing trip. Feeding the seals at the dock with the fish guts was a highlight too!,,

Captain Andrew took us out fishing for two full days to celebrate my father’s 80th birthday! We caught a halibut and six salmon. The boat was clean, organized and ran well. Andrew was helpful with everyone and knew the best fishing spots. His excitement each time we caught a fish matched ours. It was an amazing trip to be forever remembered.

What an unforgettable experience with King Tide Fishing Charters! Captain Andrew was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and made sure the vibes were perfect the whole trip. This was my four-year-old son’s very first time fishing, and thanks to Andrew’s guidance, he caught his first salmon! It was such a special day — fun, relaxed, and full of excitement from start to finish. I can’t recommend Captain Andrew and King Tide Fishing Charters enough!

Captain Shane took us out and we had a great time! Caught a lot of fish and we were able to keep a few that Captain Shane fillet for us. The pricing was very reasonable and I highly recommend King Tide. Would definitely go again !
