Trip Planning
We pride ourselves on the ability to provide our guests with a safe, exciting, and memorable fishing experience. Our professional, attentive staff is ready to assist you with all of your planning needs. The Tug will leave on the morning of your arrival date and returns late afternoon on your departure day. This ensures a full day of fishing on both arrival and departure days.
Prince Rupert is serviced by a number of daily flights out of Vancouver. Our dedicated travel agent, Elan Travel will help you with your airline bookings. They can be reached at 1 800 969 6997 and offer discounted rates. Your floating home, the Tsekoa, will be waiting to pick you up at the main Atlin Terminal in the center of town with an intended departure time of approximately 11 a.m. Please plan on arriving on the morning flight so that one of our staff members can greet you and escort you to the vessel where you'll get your fishing license. The cruise out to our first anchorage is an excellent time to familiarize yourself with our fine vessel, and indulge in some crab cocktail and beverage as you prepare for the afternoon bite.
If your plans require an over night stay in Vancouver either on arrival or departure, we can assist you with those requirements. NorthCoast has arranged for special rates, free parking, and storage of your catch at the Delta Hotel near the Vancouver International Airport. Prince Rupert flights arrive and depart from the South Terminal.
WHAT TO BRING
The average temperature in July is 20 C (70F) but it can be quite cool on the water so make sure to bring some warm clothes. The north coast can also be wet. We provide the necessary rain gear and boots but keep in mind that you may be in a damp environment. Please pack your belongings in soft luggage or a duffle bag so it can be easily stowed in your cabin. Some items you might want to include: camera, film, extra socks, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat and windbreaker. Other than warm clothing and these additional items we provide everything else you may need.
