About Charter Tofino
Charter Tofino is a premium sportfishing outfitter operating from the sheltered waters of Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island's west coast. Run by experienced fishing guide Kelly Aspinall, the operation focuses on delivering high-quality, personalised fishing charters for both seasoned anglers and first-timers looking to hook into world-class Pacific species.
Their charter menu covers offshore tuna trips targeting albacore in the open Pacific, halibut fishing on the sandy flats of Clayoquot Sound, and salmon runs chasing chinook and coho through the region's inlets and passes. All charters include top-tier tackle, rods, reels, and safety gear, with the boat fully equipped with electronics and fish-finding technology. Wildlife viewing packages are also available for groups who want to explore the natural beauty of Tofino's waters without a fishing focus.
What sets Charter Tofino apart is the boutique, owner-operated model — Kelly captains every trip personally, bringing decades of local knowledge about tides, currents, and seasonal fish movements. With small group sizes and a reputation for putting clients on fish, this is a top pick for anglers seeking a genuine west coast fishing experience rather than a mass-market boat tour.
