With so many charter boats starting up in Prince Rupert, it must be very difficult to choose the right one for you. Here are a few things you may wish to ask, as well as consider:
-Your guides certification (ask to see it, and as a minimum they legally must hold a Small Vessel Operator Proficiency Certificate.)
-Your guides experience, as well as if they are a local, and not some one who has been out on a charter, and decided to just buy a boat and fly at it (there are quite a few out there).
-Has there vessel been inspected to meet the mandatory Transport Canada inspection program.
-Are they a legal business with a business lisence, in case things don't go to plan, and your deposit is not honoured.
Consider all of these things when making your decision, YOUR SAFETY IS AT STAKE!
Now, on to the more exciting subject. Our Chinook Salmon season is coming into full swing, with numbers getting better every day. There have been some large fish already weighed in, and it's shaping up to be a great season. There are still prime dates available for this season, so inquire about that trip of a life time today. We look forward to creating a great fishing trip for you!!!
Calm Seas, and Monster Tyees,
