Thunder 1 Adventures - Prince Rupert, British Columbia

Darcy Kennedy

Second time with Thunder 1 Adventurers and planning for a third

Hands down the best northern pacific experience one could ask for in a fishing or tour charter

Thunder 1 is an excellent vessel that’s well designed for both cool rainy weather or blistering heat fishing.

Deb and Doug are unreal at getting you on the fish ( our group of 4 limited out) and the meals were superb.

Best is not having to bust out and back to the fish grounds each day … just sit back have another coffee ..

Can’t wait to return

When I was 16 I went on a week long fishing trip off the coast of BC. It was an amazing experience. Now as an adult 20 years later and with kids of my own I wanted to get back on the ocean and started to look for a charter that I could possibly make an annual trip with. After extensive research online, we chose Thunder 1 adventures. We couldn’t have made a better choice. This experience has been absolutely amazing. Doug and Deb are such great hosts. The boat is comfortable, Deb’s cooking was so delicious. It didn’t matter what she made, it was so tasty. Doug is very knowledgeable fisherman put us in the fish. We are going home with plenty of fish to fill the freezer we with. This trip is an all around package. Good company, comfortable environment and great fishing. I highly recommend this charter. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Doug and Deb for a wonderful trip!!!

After the fantastic trip my in-laws had aboard the Thunder 1 last summer, we decided to snap up a last minute cancellation in July and took our 3 boys on this truly memorable Canadian fishing experience. Doug and Deb are perfect hosts and we came away with 3 happy new fishermen. The awesome salmon and halibut fishing under Doug's expert guidance, pulling up prawn pots for that night's dinner, catching rockfish to feed the resident eagle, Deb's delicious food, spectacular scenery (despite that pesky morning fog) and wildlife spotting are memories that will stay with us for life. And not a phone screen to be seen! We feel privileged to have been shown such a special part of the world by 2 people who have such a passion for it.

Fantastic trip with great company. Deb and Doug were fun to spend the weekend with. Lots of laughs. The fishing was great! Deb’s cooking was amazing! We weren’t hungry for a minute on board. And Doug’s ‘fishy tingle’ was spot on. He knew where all the fish were. Would highly recommend!

23 hour flight from Melbourne, followed by a leisurely road trip up the Island to Port Hardy. Overnight stay, 0530 start to the ferry to Prince Rupert, arriving 19 hours later. Where we tired...... jet lagged.... confused.... Yep
But the following day, we saw Thunder 1 and met Doug and Deb, and all the head mushiness fell away. Leaving? The start of 4 days and 3 nights of fun, fish, a little frivolity and great food.

With the patient and expert tuition from Doug, we filled our limit with Coho, Halibut and a couple of cod.

More charming hosts, one could not find anywhere, and this coupled with the awe inspiring scenery, bird and aquatic life almost overcame one's sensual capacity.

Even the sea conditions were kind to us, and as the photos, the skies were cloudless and sunny

Happy to provide further feedback by email. Just contact through Thunder 1

Now...... to eat the spoils and plan for another trip

We wish we could do a 10 star review as this was a trip of a lifetime. Incredible food, amazing fishing, wonderful wildlife and great company. Doug and Deb are fantastic hosts. I can't imagine anyone not having a terrific adventure!

Couldn’t have been better!! If you want a great way to get excellent fishing, fantastic food, and a relaxing time Thunder 1 is the way to go. Die hard fisherman or casual (even if you are together) this is the best way to have a great fishing trip.

My brothers and I had the fishing trip of a lifetime. We limited out on coho and halibut, had a million laughs and ate like kings. We are already planning our next trip with Doug and Deb.
