Fish Harder Charters

Fish Harder Charters pairs guided sport fishing with lodging in Port Hardy, giving anglers a convenient base to chase salmon, halibut and bottom fish along the coast of northern Vancouver Island. Guided by Ryan, whose family brings generations of knowledge of these waters, the operation is built around going the extra mile to put guests onto fish and show them proven local techniques. Groups of two to four fish aboard a 25-foot Campion hardtop powered by twin outboards, a comfortable, capable boat equipped with a marine toilet, GPS, VHF radio and a DeLorme InReach satellite communicator for safety in remote areas. The vessel is well maintained, fully insured and Transport Canada certified, so anglers can relax and focus on the fishing. Whether visitors plan a single outing or a multi-day getaway, the combination of on-site accommodation and attentive guiding makes for an easy, memorable trip. Many guests highlight the strong value and the variety of species they land.
