Stanley’s Spirit is a 30 foot Aluminum Offshore XL, recently updated to improve efficiency and passenger space, with custom-made hardware for workflow and convenience.
While the West Coast offers some of the best fishing in an idyllic location, the ocean can be challenging at times – our boat is adept at manoeuvring through all types of water and weather while providing passenger comforts such as our enclosed cabin, private washroom, all required safety equipment, and little touches to make your day out as enjoyable as possible.

Joshua
Joshua has been fishing since he could hold a rod. Growing up on the Vedder River afforded him ample opportunities to fish all year round, even hiding a fishing rod at the bus stop to fish before school.
With over 20 years experience as a guide, he has travelled and fished everywhere along the west coast, from Sooke to Haida Gwai, as well as various river systems throughout the lower mainland.
His knowledge of different gear, tackle, and processes for catching various species of fish made him a candidate for the brood stock program with the Freshwater Fisheries Society, helping with steelhead enhancement in Chilliwack.
