Excited to catch some fish in Ucluelet? Look no further than Bonzai Sea Adventures! Experience Ocean Adventure!

These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lingcod, Halibut, Flounder, Rockfish, Black Rockfish, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. On these trips, you can expect to troll Salmon and anchor for Halibut. Capt. David can also take you jigging for Rockfish and Lingcod. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner! Ask about Crab and Prawns!

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Child-sized life vests are available, or you should bring your own if you have a preference. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach! Bring refreshments, Adults too, Wink!!

Capt. David operates a 28' Cruiser that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures and a great time!

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. A Tidal license is required. This information is available online, and the captain will recommend how to obtain. Salmon require a tag/stamp to keep them, so make sure you purchase one with your license. A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed onboard.

Awesome Day!!
Afternoon half day trip on July 13, 20253 adults2 children
We couldn’t have asked for a better day and a better Captain. Dave was extremely thoughtful and worked with us to create the family fishing experience we were looking for. It’s called fishing, not catching as I had to remind the kids, but Dave did his best to find us fish and get the those hook ups!! 4 hours goes fast, so would recommend the full day trip in the future- but wow- Dave made sure we filled every minute with good vibes and thoughts of big fish. We feasted like kings on Coho, and Rockfish Tacos. Highly recommend a trip with Dave for serious fisherman, families and anyone in between. Thanks Dave!! The Blackmer Family

Dave was amazing!
Full day Trip on June 20, 20254 adults
Highly recommend Bonzai and Dave! It was our first time out fishing in the ocean and despite my dad getting sea sick at first & my mom's limited mobility, Dave went out of his way to make sure we all had a great experience! He helped us reel in fish and gave us really good tips. He worked really hard & you can tell he really wanted us to get our catch on the boat. The boat itself was comfortable with lots of room for 4 of us plus Dave. Dave you were awesome! Thank you again for a great experience!

Bonzai - A ‘tree-rific’ Fishing Charter
Half Day Trip on July 28, 20255 adults
Our family of five enjoyed a morning charter with captain Dave. He was knowledgeable, passionate, and professional. We caught our limit of chinook salmon. Dave also offered us guidance as to where to get the fish processed for our travel home to another province. We appreciate how Dave shared some information throughout the charter about the island and aquatic wildlife. We highly recommend Bonzai charters and captain Dave.

2 Hour Fishing Experience on August 25, 20256 adults
Captain Dave was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Everyone got to catch a fish that was fishing in our group. Captain Fave was a fun guy even though he was busy keeping our lines in the water! We would highly recommend and this afternoon will be the highlight of our Tofino holiday.
