Crabby Charters

Crabby’s Fishing Charters offers guided fishing trips along the northern Salish Sea on British Columbia’s Vancouver Island coast. Based at Salmon Point Marina between the Comox Valley and Campbell River, the charter provides access to fishing grounds from Comox, Hornby and Denman Islands north to Campbell River, Lund, Powell River and Desolation Sound. Guests can fish for chinook and sockeye salmon, lingcod and other bottom fish while enjoying coastal scenery and opportunities to see local wildlife, including seals, sea lions, porpoises, dolphins, orcas and humpback whales.

Owner and operator Shane Evans is a fully certified professional guide. The company’s spacious boat is described as one of the largest in the area, allowing trips to reach a broad range of local fishing spots. Options include five-hour, six-hour and full-day eight-hour packages, as well as custom trips such as water taxis and night tours. The website also provides information about rates, fishing licences, catches and trip bookings. Charters accommodate groups of up to six, with an additional charge for guests beyond four.
