Welcome Aboard

Hop aboard King Tide’s pristine and luxurious 28′ custom Northwest Pilothouse. This vessel is built for serious West Coast fishing while offering the premium comfort and safety required for large groups and multi-generational families.

Rest assured your group will be completely comfortable regardless of the weather. The fully enclosed, heated cabin provides shelter from the elements, complete with comfortable interior seating, an on-board private restroom, and a forward v-berth. Outside, the incredibly spacious open-air deck gives your entire group plenty of room to fight fish side-by-side.

Powered by triple Suzuki 175hp outboards, you will not be disappointed by the speed and stability this ship provides—allowing us to reach offshore Halibut grounds or chase migrating Salmon runs faster than the competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Half-Day and Full-Day charter?

No. All of our vessels are fully rigged with premium rods, Islander reels, and Scotty downriggers. All tackle and bait are included.

Kenneth Mcgahee

Half Day Trip - Salmon

“Captain Andrew Black is a great Charter Captain. I booked 2 half day trips with him back to back fishing for King salmon and Coho salmon. We were into a lot of salmon on both days… His present boat is a 28 foot pilot house and it’s an awesome fishing machine with heat to keep you warm.”

Justin Hendriks

Full Day Trip - Salmon

“Cannot recommend Captain Andrew and King Tide highly enough! The boat was immaculate and comfortable, with more than enough room for all of us. We had our first Pink Salmon on the deck in under 10 minutes… If you’re looking for a great guide who is friendly and experienced, look no further.”

Liam But

Full Day Trip - Multi Species

“Fishing with Capt Andrew and his deck hand Cam was great. They’re a really friendly duo and very knowledgeable… The bathroom and all the equipment on the boat was a huge plus. Will definitely come back again.”
