This is a 4-hour leisure fishing trip built for a relaxed, beginner-friendly experience—no all-day offshore grind, just a clean, efficient nearshore outing. Depart from X Port Marina (Downtown Vancouver), cruise to the UBC-area waters, and return within the four-hour window.

Your trip operates on a 3-Star boat, which means the comfort standard is designed for real time on the water: an enclosed cabin/helm for shelter, comfortable cushioned seating with more usable space, an enclosed restroom, basic galley function, and weather protection for wind and spray—so the experience feels comfortable even when conditions shift.

Fishing focus (leisure format): due to local area restrictions and the short 4-hour time window, this trip is planned around what’s allowed and realistic here: flounder + crab.

Enclosed cabin + real comfort for a full fishing day

A 3-Star Comfort Class boat gives you the difference you actually feel: an enclosed cabin/helm (so you’re not exposed the entire time) and comfortable cushioned seating that makes the day easier between bites.

Restroom onboard + better space to resetWith an enclosed restroom and a more practical layout, your group can stay relaxed and organized—rigging, resetting, and taking breaks without the “bare-bones boat” tradeoffs.

Basic galley function + weather protectionThis class includes basic galley function (simple onboard convenience) and weather protection that helps keep the experience enjoyable across changing wind and spray—especially on longer runs.
