Had the most incredible wildlife experience of my life – a pod of orcas came right to our boat and swam around us for ages. It was breathtaking! Also visited small islands in the Strait, saw lots of seals and sea lions. It’s the second time I’ve been out with Chris and I would recommend it to anyone even if fishing isn’t really your thing. Can’t wait to go again!

Chris is an amazing host, extremely accommodating and incredibly friendly. Very easy going and is able to offer excellent coaching while newer anglers are on deck. We will be coming back!

Awesome Family Fishing Trip We had a great family salmon fishing trip with Chris. He was excellent from the first contact. We appreciated the time he took to share information and answer our many questions. All 4 of us had a great time, each catching multiple fish with each of us getting a nice keeper. We would definitely recommend Chris with Outsider Charters for anyone looking for an awesome fishing experience. It seemed he did everything possible to make it a great experience for us and we are sure he will for you as well. Thanks Chris!!

Chris was a FANTASTIC guide. His warmth, knowledgeability, enthusiasm and friendliness made for an amazing day. I would highly recommend this experience — it was among the most memorable nature excursions one can imagine!

What a day!!! The best guided fishing trip we’ve been on.Top notch gear and the boat is amazing. Chris you nailed it, thank you

Chris is the man to see if you want a charter that gives you an experience to remember for all the right reasons. Good fishing, good sightseeing, and good company. Thank You I will be coming back.

Such an amazing day! Chris was so amazing and knows what he is doing. He knew all the spots. Will definitely be booking with him again next summer. Thanks for such a good time Chris! **The Shark Queen**

Took my husband out with Chris for his retirement and it was the highlight of our trip. Such an awesome day. Tons of fish. Great weather and a ton of laughs. Couldn’t have chosen a better fishing charter

Truly amazing experience. Chris was very professional and showed us the time of our lives. We all caught a fish, as lucky enough to see some orcas on the way back. Highly recommended and would definitely go again.

Chris is a great guide, cool guy to hang out with. Excellent experience and will definitely be back again. If I was going to be stuck on an island I hope it’s with someone like Chris.

Definately a worthwhile trip to take. From lots of salmon and bottom fish to experiencing the breathtaking scenery and wildlife capt. chris has you covered. The moment you step onto the more than comfortable boat you can tell your in good hands . The boat and equipment are spotless and well kept . His jovial manner and knowledge of the area are an amazing bonus to the great fishing.

Luckily, we were able to book a last minute charter with Chris. He runs a super tight boat, clean, and has an excellent safety plan in place, which includes an in depth orientation on how things work. We went out looking to land some big ones, and had a fish on the line within 5 minutes. It was a beautiful (and very tasty) ling cod. Throughout the 5 hour trip, we had some great conversations with Chris, and some excellent fishing…

Top notch captain and a top notch experience. Explained every detail and possible scenario and found the fish. I have hired charters in the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico and Captain Chris and Outsider provided the best experience I have had to date for me and my family. I would recommend for the grizzled seasoned angler and for the first time fishing family alike.

This was our second year fishing with Chris. It’s never a dull moment and something I look forward to every year now. Chris works his ass off in order to provide the best fishing experience possible. Already starting to plan for next year, I can’t say enough about Outsider Charters!

Great fishing. Fabulous, friendly, and knowledgeable guide was invaluable on my first ever fishing adventure. Felt safe on the water while having a great time.

Outstanding. We went with Chris and had the most wonderful experience. His boat is really comfortable, the fishing experience and his guidance was just great. Even though the sea was a bit choppy he guided it all the time. I would recommend him with no hesitation.

I’ve fished on the inside and outside of Vancouver Island for several years, and the trip this year with Outsider Charters was the best experience yet. The boat was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for myself, my wife, and our three young children. Our guide Chris was patient, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be around. He made sure we enjoyed ourselves, and we all caught our limit both days we went out. Can’t say enough about this experience . . . Highly recommended!

Incredible day of fishing on one of the nicest charter boats in Campbell River. We had non stop action all day. My only complaint is my arm was a little sore by the end of the day from reeling in all the fish and my beers kept getting too warm because there was no time to drink them. …haha. Can’t recommend Outsider Charters enough.

Chris is extremely organized leaving you with only time to enjoy the experience. Where else can you see hump back whales, seals and their pups up close. pods of porpoises and salmon all with in a few hours. Bringing more of my family next time

Chris is the fishing boat captain…and he is fantastic! Good humoured, accommodating and proficient . . . you will find and catch fish on this charter! The boat is excellent! Wide and stable with a great fishing deck, there is room for a group to move and fight the salmon. The rigging and gear are top notch, you’d expect nothing less from a true enthusiast like Chris . . .

We had a great time with chris, beautiful day, lots of fish. Saw some whales, comfortable boat and an excellent knowledge of where the fish are. Will definately go with chris again!!!

I have had my all time best fishing days with Outsider Charters over the past several years. He is safe and extremely knowledgeable. He has a fabulous boat and top notch gear and WILL catch you fish if there are any about! I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone … from novices to experts!

Wow, what a day! Been trying to catch a salmon since I moved to the northwest over 40 years ago. Chris made it happen, & talked me through bringing it in & on the boat; a 16 lb chinook. Chris’s expertise and soft spoken guidance made for a great day of fishing. Will definitely use Outsider Charters again.

Trophy Catch 👍 Very professional, well informed with patience for younger children. Gave us our money’s worth and more. Great photographer comes with package. Last minute booking was made possible. Instructions for fishing and safety were paramount. Fantastic friendly experience. Highly recommended.

We had the absolute best time catching salmon with the fellow who runs this charter. He was professional yet engaging and was the best teacher and genuinely tried his best for us to have a successful and fun fishing trip. Highly recommend this charter for your fishing needs, we will most definitely be back next year

Unreal. What an experience. I’m already looking forward to another trip with Outsider Charters. Pristine boat, great knowledgeable guide and amazing fishing made for an unforgettable weekend. Can’t forget about the Dolphins, Orcas and Sea Lions!

Great Experience. We had a great guided trip with Chris. He is very patient and determined to provide a great experience for all of his guests. Highly recommended!

Had a great day out with Chris. He was very knowledgeable and knew the area and key spots very well – we had a great time and caught a lot of fish. We will be making this an annual trip from now on. Would highly recommend!

What an amazing day! Thank you Chris! On time, accomodating, educational, high energy and lots of laughs! I highly recommend this company to ANYONE looking for a successful day on the water. Fantastic experience!

Picked Outsider at random off of the web and it was like winning the lottery! Chris was a fantastic captain and host on a clean, well equipped, warm and comfortable boat for our five hour fishing/whale watching trip. The four of us are still talking about it . . . we had a great day on the water. There were even whales! Highly recommended . . .
