Chris was a great captain. He was patient with our boys (8&5) and everyone had giant smiles when they returned! Ended up catching 3 salmon and 13 crab (kept 5 of them) yum!

Captian Chris was outstanding! Knowledgable, funny, and knew where to get the fish. Great communication throughout the booking process, super accommodating. Would definitely recommend, and will absolutely be booking again! Thanks again for the memorable day!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. We picked up some salmon, loaded up on crab, and Chris shared a ton of insight about the area and local salmon stocks. The ride back got rough, but he handled it like a pro—calm, confident, and clearly experienced. All around, an excellent trip.

The Van Herring delivered, and so did our skipper Chris. The boat was great, and Chris kept us laughing between bites. Communication before the trip was smooth—Wayne and Chris even adjusted our schedule to work around the weather, which we really appreciated. We got into some solid action, landed a couple of salmon, wrestled with a seal, and wrapped up with a pot full of crabs for dinner. Great times with a top-notch crew. Hoping to return this fall—cheers!

This was my second trip with Captain Wayne, and I’m already planning the next! We took the afternoon charter—dropped crab traps, then went trolling. I really appreciated how he and Victoria kept us informed the whole time, explaining their decisions, switching baits, and even sharing updates from nearby boats. It felt like being part of a tight-knit fishing community. Captain Wayne was fantastic with our 10-year-old. He let him reel in fish, net the smaller ones, and even pull up the crab traps. Every question—of which there were many—was met with a thoughtful answer and a smile. We headed home with four beautiful fish and a nice haul of crab. Captain Wayne even taught our son how to filet the catch and feed the harbor seals. Highly recommend. Thanks again, Captain Wayne and Victoria—see you soon!

Fantastic day. Hooked 11, landed 10, kept 5, and will have lots of salmon to share with friends and family back home. Wayne and Victoria were great guides, knowledgeable, friendly, informative, and super helpful. We had so much fun. I’m gonna bring our kids back for a family outing.
