Leisure Suit Charters

I have some talented chef friends that love to come out and cook while we fish a sunset. A growler from your favourite brew pub and a few friends makes this a unique summer #netfishandgrill experience. #porthardy #portmcneill #telegraphcove #tofino #unique #nightbite #fishbc #visitvancouverisland #fishingbc #bcchefs #oneofakind #yougottaseethis #sunsetcruise

Northern Vancouver Island is the ideal destination for visitors who want to escape the crowds and experience the peace and quiet of it’s small coastal communiti...es. The local fishing charter operators in communities like Port McNeill and Port Hardy have numerous different fishing locations to choose from and cater trips specifically around weather conditions, fish migrations, and guest appetite for adventure. In this week's feature we spend the day with Larry Weber from Leisure Suit Charters to learn more about the fishing experiences he shares with his guests. Let’s stay local for now so we can all enjoy the fishing season soon. Vancouver Island North | Tourism Vancouver Island | Leisure Suit Charters
