Marine Wildlife & Private Ocean Tours

Great time, lots of laughs! Best part of the trip was the atmosphere. Chris made you feel at home the minute you stepped onto the boat. He included you in decisions, and explained everything he was doing. I would highly recommend going out with him, I know I will be back!

Outsider Charters Inc. provided an excellent fishing experience. It was our first deep sea fishing trip. Chris made us feel comfortable from the beginning, explaining the basics of fishing, step by step. It was clear he was very experienced, enjoyed what he did, and made it fun. We even were fortunate to see 3 Humpback whales . . .

I am not a fishing person – but I so enjoyed our time with Chris yesterday. It was relaxed, informative, peaceful and entertaining. This is an excellent charter company – no hesitation in recommending this company – fabulous experience

Excellent outing, professional guidance. Big fish & good times. The most fun I’ve had on the water in years. I’ll most definitely be back for more.

My hubby and I did his bucket list salmon fishing trip – it was phenomenal! Fishing was incredible and I knew I would be comfy on board even if the fishing gods weren’t on our side. Outsider Charters has a toilet on the boat, aluminium hard top and heater inside the cab to keep you warm just in case it’s raining at Campbell River. Plus lots of space and ice in the cooler to keep your refreshments chilled. Happy to read and see they had COVID protocols. We caught our limit, enjoyed the scenery and watching the seals and sea lions, Chris was easy to chat with and it was a great way to enjoy Beautiful British Columbia.

Best time ocean fishing and photographing. We had the best time fishing and photographing the sea-life. We’ll definitely book Outsider Charter again. Such a well organized top notch boat.

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!!!

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!

These last couple days out on the water were nothing short of eventful. My first time ever fishing on the ocean did not disappoint! Chris was wonderful, did an amazing job of teaching me exactly what to do when I really had no idea . . . Thank you for such a wonderful weekend filled with lots of laughs and lots of fish! We will be back . . .

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.

Amazing! Chris is great! We had a blast, all the best equipment, knowledge and the cleanest boat I have ever been on. We caught lots of fish and saw wildlife. Chill but very professional, we felt safe and catered to. Highly recommend!

Chris was very friendly and was helpful in getting our boys set up properly to catch fish. He wanted all of us to experience the thrill of the catch, which we did! His boat was extremely clean and there was room for all four us. We will definitely be back!! It was an amazing experience.

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

We had a fabulous 8-hr day of fishing with Chris! He’s a patient, kind, and responsible guide . . . we caught our limit. Then we spotted two pods of humpback whales, and Chris was as excited as we were to observe these remarkable creatures . . . Our day was the best of both worlds — catching fish and observing nature. Highly recommend him anytime!

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.

Trip of a lifetime! I spent two days fishing with my son and two of our best friends. We could not have had a better experience. Chris is an amazing guide. We caught some good sized fish, saw whales, seals, and dolphins, and even saw a bear on a nearby shore. The boat is very comfortable. We will definitely be back!!!

What an amazing day on the ocean! Our guide Chris was extremely competent at finding salmon and coaching us on how to reel them in. Boat is comfortable and clean, equipment is state-of-the-art and the fishing day was both successful and highly enjoyable. Even had time to see some local wildlife as we explored different fishing areas. I strongly recommend Outsider Charters and Captain Chris for any fishing group.

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!

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!

Amazing guide and a great outcome of our day! Chris also took the time to teach us about the fish and the cleaning process. 10/10!

Awesome day out fishing with Chris. Super knowlegable, caught some hard fighting Chinook, great conversation, lots of knowledge on the area, including wildlife on the nearby islands. We were able to visit a sea lion colony after we caught more than enough Salmon early in the morning.

What an incredible day on the water! My previous and limited fishing experience years ago was good, but nothing like Chris provides. He found the fish, talked us through the experience of reeling the salmon in , and had us feeling like veteran fisherman by the end of the day. His boat has it all. Toss in some great conversation and spotting some Humpback Whales and it made for a day to remember. Highly recommend Outsider Charters and can’t wait to go back.

A great day out with Chris and Outside Charters. Orcas, eagles, dolphins and fish! Chris worked hard to find the fish and he delivered a hard fighting 77 cm chinook on a day when the fish were elusive. A beautiful, well outfitted boat in pristine condition. Thanks Chris. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you. We’ll be back!

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 was a fantastic guide! He was super knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. I highly recommend his tours.

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!

I have been fishing British Columbia for many years, and Outsider Charters provided the best fishing experience I have ever had. Chris proved to be highly professional, extremely knowledgable, and very friendly and courteous. Chris had no problem finding us plenty of fish . . . I could not recommend Chris’ Outsider Charters Inc. strongly enough. A pure delight.

Outsider Charters was a great choice for a coastal waters fishing experience. Chris is an outstanding guide, paying attention to every detail for a very positive experience. Wicked boat, clean and comfortable and the gear he uses for salmon and jigging for cod is top notch. Not a bad day on the water when you catch your limits, see some humpback whales and do some touring around the islands. Awesome day!
