Our Captains

Tristan is a born and raised local from South Vancouver Island. Between fishing, open ocean sailing, competitive sailboat racing and free diving, Tristan is at home on the ocean. Whether he is targeting sought-after Halibut in the spring, participating in the world-class local Salmon fishery, hunting big game in the fall or chasing elusive Steelhead in the winter, Tristan is a true west coast outdoorsman.

A well-known and respected member of both the local fishing scene and community, he is always happy to share his knowledge of fishing, wildlife and local history. He loves cooking seafood as much as he loves harvesting it, so no matter what you come home with, he will know how to prepare and cook it. Ask him about a tasty meal idea!
