Overnight Charters

The Alberni Charters Experience

We offer derby-winning fishing and experience-it-all vacations on our exclusive overnight fishing charters. Try a host of activities while touring Barkley Sound. Catch salmon, halibut and enjoy a variety of the freshest seafood in sheltered waters. Finish the day with a sunset cookout on a white sandy beach. You can engage in interactive experiences like crabbing (your own hand line), jigging, prawning and if you like, an oyster farm visit. For the night, choose a private sheltered cove or tie up at a friendly dock.

There’s a place for day charters, ship cruises, and fishing lodges and then there’s the Alberni Charter experience. The Oracle is a very comfortable boat with two private cabins, electricity, heat, hot showers and a private washroom. We have one double bed, three singles and a table that converts to a double. When we aren’t fishing, we might enjoy oyster, mussel or clam picking, bear and whale watching, zodiac island visits for trail experiences and photo shoots of tidal pools. Overwhelming beauty and a life-changing experience awaits.

Overnight trips depart from Poett Nook, Bamfield, Ucluelet or Port Alberni as you wish.

Poett Nook is one of our favourite departure points for our West Coast overnight charters, as well as being one of the best Vancouver Island fishing grounds in any weather. This area of Barkley Sound is on the edge of sheltered waters with deep sea fishing opportunities, making it a perfect location for our Halibut Fishing Charters, but without the danger of trip cancellations due to rough seas. Every year, derby-winning fish come from the shelves around Poett Nook. Salmon are plentiful here and our average halibut catch is 47.6 lb.

We are always happy to offer suggestions to suit your group and can even take care of the catering. Call us at 250-735-6503 to discuss your options and start planning the vacation of a lifetime!
