Commercial Marine Charters

Based in Prince Rupert, we have over 35 years of salmon & halibut fishing experience on the North Coast of British Columbia. We specialize in halibut and salmon fishing charters around Haida Gwaii (a.k.a. the Queen Charlotte Islands).

Introducing Wyatt’s Torch

Commercial Marine Charters will be using a new boat for the next fishing season: Wyatt’s Torch. This beautiful 40-foot Silverton Convertible Yacht is customized specifically for comfort and safety in North Coast waters.

Multi-night charters

Our vessel allows us to stay out on the water for multiple nights, meaning you can get to some great fishing spots that are far from any of our ports-of-call. You will also see some tremendous scenery the further you travel up and down the coastline.

More than fishing

On top of fishing charters, we also offer eco-tours and whale-watching excursions. We can also act as a kayak mothership if you want to tour the spectacular coast of Northern B.C., but not too far from a cozy, warm bed — and delicious, fresh seafood meals!

An unbelievable charter experience

The North Coast of British Columbia is one of the best places on Earth to fish. From Prince Rupert to Haida Gwaii and everywhere in between, we’ll bring you to some of the best fishing sites where you can land a big halibut, a feisty coho salmon, or a colourful rockfish.

I came for the company, I stayed for the fishing. No, really, even for a non-fisherman it was a great experience. Thanks for having us aboard your fine vessel. Even in those “dangerous seas” I felt safe. Thanks again.

A wonderful experience, like fishing from my living room with the deck room on the Jennifer Gayle. Smooth ride in most any weather conditions. Spoiled to the utmost with wonderful food. Suggestion: bring more ice cream.

Larry C. (West Vancouver)

I have been salmon fishing over 25 times and I believe this was the most unique trip I have ever been on. The diversity of fishing was incredible. I came to catch my limit of halibut and I came away very satisfied with my catch. Ken Seymour is a pro and knows how to make your trip. I will be back.

p.s. I brought my spouse, my sister and her husband, and two 16 year-olds. They all did well.

“Fishing” is a narrow vision of this wonderful excursion — the bonfire on the beach was fantastic. Food like home and most everything was taken into consideration in advance.

If you read this on your first day…be prepared for the outdoor experience of a lifetime. You are going to step off this boat an experienced crew member of an actually working holiday. You are going to sleep well with a grin on your face and a sore arm. Reeling is a bitch. Now shape up an remember, “fish on!”

Thomas M.

Absolutely the best fishing trip ever — scenery, meals & most of all fishing. You covered a lot of water — such a variety of fish. You are the ultimate fishing guide and host with the most to offer.

Bryan S. (Oshawa, ON)

Simply put, this was a fishing trip of a lifetime! More fish than you care to reel in. You know it’s good when you are throwing back 30-pound salmon. Thanks to Captain Ken for the very memorable excursion on the Zodiac! Great time was had & we’ll see you next year!
