If…read moreyou need one person to go to West Redonda alone, it might be $200, but if you need to go to Cortes with a group, it could be as little as $15 each. Fair price with awesome service in a world where ferries aren't always an option. Thanks guys.... you were fantastic. On time, waited for us when we were a couple minutes late.... friendly, informed, interesting... and some good down to earth Canucks. Cheers.

We had an amazing experience spending the day with Keith and Diane! Firstly, what a delightful…read morecouple and what a beautiful boat. Keith is a knowledgeable and calm captain. He was able to teach and encourage our mostly novice group of five about how to stay safe on the water, how to find the fish and most importantly how to set the hook, fight the fish and successfully land the fish in the boat. He was so patient with my 87 yo father in law with dementia! Diane has such a bubbly personality and quickly made everyone comfortable. She gave us great tourist tips including Oyster River Potholes for swimming and Willow Point Reef for viewing starfish, anemone and urchin at low tide. Diane kept us well fed and hydrated with her tasty home smoked salmon, salmon salad sandwiches and a cooler full of drinks. During our five hour trip, we were able to quickly catch our limit of chinook and then enjoy fishing for coho and ling cod. Our cooler was full and dinner that night was delicious! We will definitely be returning!!

Best tour do not hesitate and just book!!!! If i could give 10 stars I would.  No disrespect to any…read moreof the other bigger tour groups with a lots of reviews but THIS is the tour to do!  I'm so glad that everything else was booked because we (party of 4) Literally had the entire boat for ourselves so it was a private tour at the same prices of the other tour companies. Zack took an incredible amount of time for our tour and gave us a personalized adventure.  We were also blessed to see whales, porpoise, urchins, starfish,  seals, sea lions. He knew all the places to go and gave such an amazing insight of the different islands and mountains. He also gave us snacks and beverages from locally sourced places. Literally we could not have asked for better and it was even more amazing than we could have imagined.  When we come back we will ONLY book here.

We had the absolute best time on the Oyster Farm Tour! If we could give it 10 stars we would. From…read morethe moment we walked on the dock, Captain Zach welcomed us on board, and made is feel comfortable and safe, he even had a scavenger hunt game prepared for our toddler! Once we were on our way, the learning began! Did you know that oysters are one of the most sustainable forms of aquaculture? Or that one little oyster filters a bathtub of water per day, keeping our oceans clean, pristine, fresh and beautiful? We learned so many incredible facts about his family oyster farm, the innovation they are adding to the industry, oysters as a species and the local aquaculture. The boat has both inside cabin space and outside deck space, making it great to enjoy the sea breeze and spray, but also shade from the hot sun. Captain Zach has an incredibly deep knowledge of the Discovery Islands and Desolation Sound, pointing out mountains, islands, bays and even rock formations, and added a depth of history to everything he shared. His passion to share this area of Vancouver Island is contagious! We saw a pod of dolphins, sea lions, eagles, all sorts of waterfowl. At no moment did we feel rushed, it was a beautiful leisurely day on the water - that also kept at 3 year old happy and engaged all day - and ended with the a delicious feast of oysters. We all had a blast and can't wait to be back.

We chartered a trawler for a week to see some of Desolation Sound (a week is not nearly enough)…read more The boat was in excellent shape, gave us no concerns at all (we left a small list of minor items they needed to look at), and completely suited our purposes. Very enjoyable holiday. Strongly recommend.

We recently returned from chartering a trawler from DSYC for a week of exploring Desolation Sound…read more Every aspect of the experience with DSYC was first rate and handled with friendliness and professionalism by everyone from the front office to the dock. We opted to have DSYC provide a skipper and we included the instruction and certification. I have been through many certification programs over the years for both profession and recreation and Rick was perhaps the best instructor that I have ever had. Of course, we were concerned about having a stranger literally living with us for a week in a somewhat confined space and we realized that if it were the wrong person, it could have been a disaster. Rick proved to be a wonderful traveling companion as well as an extremely knowledgeable skipper, who not only didn't get in the way of a good vacation, he helped make it an exceptionally great vacation. If you haven't toured Desolation Sound by charter boat - you got to do this! Truly one of the best vacations my wife and I have ever had, and we have traveled all over the world. It was so great, that my wife is now trying to talk me into buying a trawler! Now guys, that's a bonus on the deal that's worth the price of admission all by itself.

Lucas was amazing with our kids, and utilized his contacts to put us in a spot to see humpbacks and the ocean delivered! We saw so many humpbacks and we even got to hear them breathe! The kids got to do some fishing and got to reel in a fish each! I can recommend Fierce Fish Ocean Adventures enough, I have already told all our friends and cannot wait to go back again. It was affordable and so flexible, Lucas really tailored our time to tick off all our wish list items. It is such a luxury to have a private boat and for it to be offered at such an affordable price is so appreciated. Book your trip with Fierce Fish Ocean Adventures - you will not regret it.
