ABOUT THE CHARTER

Welcome to Port Hughes Fishing Charters, proudly run by skipper Tom and his partner Bree. Together, we’re passionate about fishing, getting people out on the water and creating a great day that you’ll remember long after you’ve stepped off the boat.

Based at beautiful Port Hughes, our full-day charters are all about enjoying a relaxed day on the water, chasing the famous King George Whiting and a variety of other local species, depending on the season and current fishing regulations.

With a maximum of 8 guests, we keep our charters small and personal, giving everyone plenty of opportunity to fish and enjoy the experience. Whether you're an experienced angler or new to fishing, Tom is there to help and share his knowledge along the way.

We provide everything you need for the day, including bait, tackle and ice, and best of all, you keep your catch to take home and enjoy.

So come aboard, enjoy a day of fishing, make some great memories and hopefully head home with a few fish and plenty of stories to tell!

Port Hughes Fishing Charters — good fishing, good company and a great day on the water.
