A seasonal bonus

Dungeness Crab

Dungeness crab from these waters needs no introduction — when they're part of a trip, they steal the show.

What to expect

Dungeness crab are seasonal and often included on longer trips — an incredible bonus catch alongside the fishing. Season, limits, and conditions decide whether crab gear goes out on your date; ask when you book.

Local waters

Baynes Sound between Vancouver Island and Denman Island is the centre of BC's shellfish industry, and these waters have long been crab country. Catching your own Dungeness here connects you to exactly where the region's reputation comes from.
