FISHING CHARTERS
Crab Charter
Experience the excitement of harvesting your own Dungeness crab on our dedicated Crab Charter in beautiful Howe Sound. This area is well known for its healthy crab population and offers a great opportunity to catch one of the most popular West Coast seafood delicacies.
Join us for a fun and hands on experience where you will learn how crabbing works, help pull the traps, and with a bit of luck head back to the dock with a few delicious Dungeness crabs to take home.
2 hours including first 3 guests: $360
Add another guest: $50
Max. 4 guests in total per charter
Tour Details
Our team sets the crab traps in carefully selected locations the evening before the trip so they can soak overnight. This gives the crabs plenty of time to find the bait and enter the traps, which increases the chances of a good catch.
The following morning we head out with you early to pull the traps, which helps keep the catch fresh and reduces the chance of other boats finding or checking the traps before we return.
ALL gear is included. Guests are responsible for lost or damaged equipment.
The tour includes 2 traps. Additional traps and bait are available at a cost of $60 per trap.
Each guest participating in fishing is required to hold a valid fishing license. Each license allows the catch of up to 4 crabs per person. The license must be printed and presented when entering the charter. If you need to obtain one, please follow this link:
