"We had an absolute blast with Scott out on the water . We showed up to the dock to say hi to Scott and introduce ourselves and he offered to take us out that evening for a half day to start off our two full day trip. He got us on the fish within 10 minutes of getting the gear in the water !  After our two days with Scott we are travelling back home with 3 full coolers of fish, 30 keepers."

"We drove from Kelowna BC for a charter and I can’t recommend Oceans West Adventures highly enough. Our guide Owen was exceptional! The owner Scott was super easy to deal with and kept us up to date with changes in the weather so we could adjust our trip for the best possible time. We caught a heap of fish and everyone in our group has a blast."
