OFFSHORE & INSHORE ADVENTURES
OFFSHORE
On an Aguilar One offshore fishing adventure, we fish the outer banks off the west coast of Vancouver Island. These waters are teaming with halibut, chinook, and coho, and the success rate of bringing in your catch is high. Depending on fisheries regulations and weather, fishing starts in May until late September. 4 guests max.
INSHORE
Our inshore fishing charters provide more protection from the high seas, and the breathtaking scenery around the stunning islands in Barkley Sound is a bonus! These areas can hold big fish depending on the time of year. We usually fish from late June through September, depending on fisheries regulations. 4 guests max.
WILDLIFE TOURS
Join us for a nature and wildlife tour of Barkley Sound, and experience the wonderful diversity of marine mammals and sea birds in their natural habitat. Discover the absolutely beautiful scenery of Barkley Sound, with an option to go to Ucluelet for shopping and lunch – a fun experience for the whole family! 6 guests max.

WHAT TO BRING
Fishing License
While on board the Aguilar One, you must carry a valid printed copy of your National Recreational fishing license. You will be asked to present your license before you board, so don’t forget it!
Coolers
Bring enough coolers for fish storage, and to protect and carry back your limit. We will help with dressing and freezing your fish in preparation for travel. Airplane approved coolers can usually be purchased in Bamfield.
Appropriate Clothing
When on the water on the west coast, it can be deceptively cool even on a sunny warm day. Wind and fog can feel very cold, especially on a long 8 hour trip. We recommend you bring rain gear, boots, and warm clothes. Layers work best.
Food
We do not supply lunch, so bring whatever food and beverages you will need for the day.
