Our Roots in Ucluelet

Born from a profound respect for the sea and a deep-rooted passion for fishing, Maximum Coastal Adventures has grown to become a beacon for those seeking the ultimate fishing experience.

Ucluelet, with its rich marine life and pristine waters, has been our home and our muse. Here, amidst the rugged Pacific coastline and the lush temperate rainforests, we found a fishing haven like no other.

More Than Just Fishing

While the thrill of the catch is unparalleled, the experience we offer goes beyond the rod and reel. It's about immersing oneself in the mesmerizing landscapes of Ucluelet, understanding its ancient narratives, and respecting the traditions of the Nuu-chah-nulth people.

When you embark on a journey with us, you're not just fishing; you're becoming a part of Ucluelet's rich tapestry of nature, culture, and maritime legacy.

I’ve been out with Max Fish and Shea twice now and never disappointed. His knowledge of the fishery and the area are top tier and the experience is second to none. He has experience guiding all over the West Coast and you can tell he lives and breathes what he does. It’s become an annual trip for me and my group and I won’t fish with any other Charter than Max Fish.

Fished today with my son for Chinook Salmon. Fantastic day- great boat and Captain.  Captain James put on on the fish  we caught several 20+ pounders.  James was a wealth of knowledge about fishing and about salmon.  Have been on multiple Fishing Charters in different areas of the world and this whole experience was the best from start to finish.  Would definitely recommend and come back!

My husband and I went out fishing with James. What a completely stunning time on the water. His boat is immaculate, the fishing exceeded expectations.  We caught the limit on almost every species. James really worked hard for us and delivered an outstanding experience. I would highly recommend James and hope we will fish with him again soon.
