Customized for safety, comfort and fishability — step aboard and you'll see these boats were meant to catch fish.

The fleet

Warm, dry, and rigged to fish.

North-coast weather changes fast. Every boat in the fleet has a fully enclosed, heated cabin to get out of it — and everything you need to stay on the fish when it turns.

  • Three 26–28 ft command bridge cruisers with fully enclosed heated cabins and upper-deck seating
  • Latest addition: a 26 ft catamaran cruiser
  • Marine heads (enclosed bathrooms) on board
  • Electric downriggers and four-stroke trolling motors
  • Sirius satellite radio, barbecue and alcohol stove
  • All Transport Canada-required safety equipment — fully licensed and insured for six passengers

Your captain

Dave Eng.

Dave has been chasing salmon since he was old enough to ride a bike to the water — deck handing on Vancouver saltwater charters at twelve, then guiding in Rivers Inlet, Tahsis, and Haida Gwaii, with off-seasons spent chasing trout through Patagonia and stalking bonefish on the flats of Belize.

In 2011 he took the leap and started his own charter operation in Prince Rupert — the obvious home port for a serious saltwater enthusiast. Twenty-plus years in the industry have taught him a few things about safe, memorable trips. And more than a few about putting fish in the boat.

Every Sunset Charters guide is hand-picked for skill, experience and the kind of patience that makes a first-timer's day.

“I've been on a number of charters all over Vancouver Island, Kitimat and Prince Rupert, and I can honestly say that Dave is one of the best!”
