Cool and windy but Capt Al.got us out there despite the weather.  Boat is very stable and the large cabin helped us get some relief from the wind and weather.  Highly recommend Capt Al for his knowledge and perseverance.  Did not catch a lot of fish but maxed out on crab and shrimp.  Nice to have a full day on the boat unlike most other charters that are only 4 hours start to finish. Will book again with Captain Al

well equipt boat with heated indoor area great experience even in the colder months Skipper was very knowledgeable in all aspects of fishing on the south island caught salmon and sole and crabs would recommend to eveyone

We spent the day out with Captain Al learning how to fish for chinook with outriggers, how to read the tides, how to position the boat to take advantage of the channel width and bathymetry. Once he taught us, he let us take control of the fishing, which was amazing. We caught six huge salmon, over the course of six hours.  It was truly a pleasure having such a knowledgeable guide.  Al filleted one Chinook for us and put the rest on ice. Dinner last night was unbelievable.

Had an absolute blast with Allan great guy we caught Salmon, crabs, seen seals, birds and whales, the raven while an older boat was an absolutely great experience and had all the amenities you could ask for and kept us all very comfortable.  We caught lots of big salmon and crabs and everyone had fun. Allan was also very accommodating to my 5 year old son who really enjoyed this adventure as well.

We had an absolutely fantastic day out on the water! The boat was great—comfortable, well-equipped, and perfect for the trip. Captain Crow was incredible—his stories, local knowledge, and history of the area made the experience so much more than just a fishing trip. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water!
