CHARTER BOATS

Westcoast Fish Expedtions runs four charter fishing boats, two 24 foot Grady White Offshores, and two 23 foot Grady White Gulfstreams. These boats are designed to catch fish efficiently and built to handle the rigors of the westcoast. Our Grady White Fishing Machines offer a safe, dry and comfortable ride, combining solid structure, self-bailing reliability, hull engineering and the finest craftmanship to create the ultimate offshore fishing vessel.

The Grady White advantages allow us to travel greater distances and track the migration of wild salmon and halibut from season to season. Our fleet offers protection from the elements, spacious decks and washroom facilities.All of the boats are equipped with the latest in electronics, fishing tackle and safety equipment. These boats will carry up to 5 guests comfortably plus the guide and on occasion will even carry up to six guests.
