Homeport is in Tofino, British Columbia on the west coast of Vancouver Island. From here we can access some of the healthiest offshore and inshore fishing grounds in the Pacific Ocean. These waters have made Tofino one of the most important commercial & recreational fishing ports on the west coast of Canada. Our vessel is moored at the all new Tofino Resort & Marina. hymaxcharters@shaw.ca Ph: (250) 266-0147

Fishing

The Tofino fishing scene is spectacular!
Fish the protected waters of Clayoquot Sound, or the more productive off-shore waters. As you cruise out of Tofino Harbour past the lighthouse, you enter a unique offshore eco-system that supports huge schools of bait fish. Teaming balls of Herring, Pilchards, Neddlefish, Squid, and Krill attract and support the legions of bigger game fish. This thriving rugged environment creates catch opportunities found nowhere else on the Coast.
We target Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Halibut, Tuna, Snapper and Rock Cod. In addition we usually set and check the Crab and Prawn traps when leaving and returning to the harbour.

Private Charters

A private charter is the ultimate West Coast fishing experience.

A reservation is made and the boat and date(or dates) are secured for your group or family. A full day trip is 8-10 hours, a half day trip is 4-6 hours. My regular clients usually book a full day to ensure the best chances getting their limit of salmon and halibut.

I encourage you to plan on booking a minimum of 4-6 hours. There is no penalty for ending a trip early, you can return to the harbour at any time for any reason.

I am easy going, but very serious about catching fish and providing a comfortable atmosphere on board. My mission is to fill the cooler with fish & for you to have a safe, positive experience with Hymax Charters.

The VICTORY is for clients who want the best. Built to high end yacht standards and completely outfitted with the best of everything. She is a refined offshore battle wagon, and a proven fish killa. The ultimate Sportfisher. The extra comforts and exceptional sea worthiness of this fine vessel will keep you and your group happy all day long. I searched long and hard to find one of these particular hulls, she is a very renowned and celebrated Pacifica 44 in mint condition. You will not find a nicer charter boat.

Wedding Groups

The Groomsman

A private fishing trip or sightseeing trip is a great mixer for new family and friends and will leave a long lasting fun memory for everyone. Over the years I have hosted many wedding party groups onboard the Hymax. Bachelor parties, bachelorettes, stag and doe's, groomsmen outings, honeymooners, as well as mixed groups of couples, singles and kids from the wedding party. The Hymax is very clean and comfortable for entertaining and can accommodate up to 12 guests.

About Myself

The Best West Coast Fishing I have been a professional mariner on the west coast for 32 years. And a professional guide for 20 years. I have always made my living working and surviving on the ocean.

I spent my earlier adult years commercial fishing BC's most remote coastal areas. Mostly as a commercial diver harvesting Geo-Duck clams, Sea Urchins, and Sea Cucumbers. I've also been involved in commercial Prawn Fishing, the Herring fishery, and the commercial Sockeye fishery.

I am also a licensed Tug Boat Master and now spend my winters running tug and barges around Vancouver Island. From April through till the end of October I focus on running my charter business out of Tofino.
