From the moment we booked with Reel Life Charters, to meeting Captain Gary at the flag pole, to boarding the immaculate Pursuit vessel, to our palms burning from the reels buzzing, to the excitement of netting and pulling in big Chinook salmon…..this trip was the experience of a lifetime. Words can’t describe the rush of catching a big Pacific Chinook and acrobatic Coho salmon….and these guys at Reel Life Charters make you feel like a pro and help with every aspect of the day.
Our guide Captain Gary was knowledgeable about the area and local wildlife species and shared some amazing local stories.
Booking was smooth and easy, and the vessel was comfortable, clean and fast.

This was a bucket list experience for my family and I and we are so glad we booked with Reel Life Charters, as the day was more than perfect. I’ll lever forget it and I 100% recommend them and this experience as a must do!

Thanks Captain Gary and the whole Reel Life Charters team…..we will see you next year!!!!

What an experience, I’ve been on fishing charters before but this was the first time bringing my family.  Wife and 3 younger children (under 10).  Both days the captains were unbelievable, patient with the kids, very energetic and excited for them when fish got hooked on and these guides know where the fish are let me tell you.  It was amazing it’s all about “bonking”fish as they say, and that’s what we did.  Couldn’t have asked for more and will be booking Reel Life Charters when we come back to the area again

Thanks so much for the memories and the best fishing experience I’ve (we have) ever had!!!!

It was the first time fishing for me and my daughter, but my husband, in his youth, had gone many times with his grandfather. He really appreciated that for our first fishing experience, he did not have to do anything since our guide took care of it all! Jerry was personable, knowledgeable, and easy-going. It was a cloudy, chilly August morning (although, thankfully, it cleared up during the last hour or so) and not many fish were biting. It was quite the experience to reel in a few, even if they were too small and had to be thrown back. We ended the day with one good-sized Chinook, which made us very happy. We really appreciated that he gutted and cleaned it for us. I loved having fresh-caught salmon; baked some and even enjoyed some as sashimi! I am grateful for this experience and am already planning to go again some day soon! Thank you for providing a great trip!

Great experience catching many chinook.  Could only keep two, but just catching and release on the others was awesome!

Awesome time! Highly recommend. Slow start to the day and Gary was working hard on not only getting us on the salmon but the big ones. Caught a couple small ones and had some big ones pop off the hook. Gary was getting a little nervous but you could tell he was putting the extra effort to make it happen. About 3 hours in and it was pretty slow… Then triple header followed by a double header and a few small ones after that. Only complaint was we talked to different captain before arrival about setting some crab traps before we head out but that message was passed to Gary. It was too late once we had left the dock but Gary let us check his crab trap he set in the morning but no dice. Anyways good boat, good captain, good fishing, good price. I would definitely go with these again.
