We had an absolutely fabulous day with Captain Gerry. I certainly did not find any rudeness. (Specified in other reviews) We enjoyed every part of the day,. We would have loved to catch more than salmon but that wasn’t meant to be. The excitement of catching even though releasing was thrilling and believe me we reeled in a good deal of fish!! We found Gerry very knowledgeable and full of great stories. Thank you

We had an amazing fishing experience with Gerry at Invictus Charter! From the moment we stepped on board, Gerry made us feel welcome, safe, and excited for the adventure ahead. His knowledge of the waters, fishing techniques, and local marine life was impressive—and he made sure everyone on the boat was comfortable and involved.

We caught fish, enjoyed breathtaking views, and created memories we’ll never forget. Gerry’s passion for what he does truly shows, and his professionalism and friendliness made the trip even more enjoyable.

Whether you’re a first-time fisher or an experienced angler, we highly recommend Invictus Charter. It was the highlight of our visit!

Thank you, Gerry, for an incredible day!

We booked for our family of 5 adults. We lost count of how many fish we pulled in. Gerry didn’t stop the whole time we were out. He was running around helping us reel in our catch, telling jokes, entertaining us and keeping us laughing. He provided tales of local stories while we waited for the next rod to start shaking. We had an awesome day on the water. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks Gerry for being a terrific host! We will definitely be back!

22 FISH!!! We went out with Gerry and had a "whale" of a time! He was courteous, communicative, considerate, honest and knowledgeable , fun and a pleasure to work with. We caught 22 Salmon and shared many a story, joke and time together. There were 4 of us on the charter and Gerry made sure we were all involved, engaged and contented with our experience. We loved it so much, we are going back Canada Day weekend and possibly again later in the month. We cannot recommend enough.!

Update: Second time out with these guys. Captain Gerry and first mate Karen. You guys are the best! May 2024

We had an amazing trip out with Gerry! Couldn’t have asked for a better captain. We caught 10 beautiful salmon in just a couple of hours! Lots of prawns too. Gerry was so informative about local species; invasive species and fish conservation efforts. What a spectacular experience! Thank you Gerry

Gerry hat mit uns eine tolle Tour gemacht und wir haben jede Menge Lachse gefangen. Behalten haben wir nur das tägliche Limit, die weiteren Fänge haben wir wieder freigesetzt. In einem Fangkorb haben wir auch Shrimps gefangen. Es war grandios und Gerry ist ein perfekter und sehr erfahrener Captain, der vieles erklärt und einem die notwendige Hilfe gibt. Wir hatten viel Spaß mit ihm. Wir können ihn auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlen.

Absolutely fantastic day on the water! Though quite choppy that didn’t stop us from hooking into a good 25 fish. 2 hours into the trip we almost limited out! In the end we had 5 keepers and couldn’t be happier! Gerry was very professional and knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. It was my wife’s first time fishing on a boat and she managed to catch a huge Chinook, which also happened to be her first salmon and the biggest of the day! I would recommend Invictus charters to anyone wanting to get off the shore and hook into some of the best fishing we have ever done! Will definitely be booking another charter with them in the future!
