01 The Trip

Remote inlets, traps & tides.

Step aboard a 50-foot excursion fishing vessel for a multi-day journey into the remote coastal inlets of British Columbia. Guests travel through sheltered West Coast waters to experience hands-on trap fishing for Dungeness crab and prawns, surrounded by steep forested shorelines, tidal passages, and wilderness areas deeply connected to Indigenous territory.

The adventure is built around time on the water, with the vessel serving as a comfortable, capable platform for exploring productive inlets, setting and hauling traps, watching for whales and marine wildlife, and learning from local cultural knowledge. Each day offers a practical mix of fishing, coastal travel, respectful wildlife viewing, and place-based interpretation shaped by the rhythms of the tide.

Designed for guests seeking more than a standard day charter, this trip is an immersive way to access the coast, understand its living culture, and take part in a traditional, productive style of seafood harvesting — emphasizing safety, respect for place, and connection to one of Canada's most distinctive marine landscapes.
