Fishing is done two guests per boat from 17-foot Boston Whalers with 35 hp electric start outboard motors.  The boats are conveniently docked at the side of the Marabell and are clean, equipped and ready to go when you are.  The hours of fishing from the M.V. Marabell are from dawn to dusk daily, weather permitting.  There is no limit on the use of the boat, outboard, fuel, tackle or bait during fishing hours.

All of the necessary gear is provided as part of your fishing package, although, you are welcome to bring your favorite rod and reel if you wish.  Quality 10 1/2 foot west coast mooching rods and single and double action reels equipped with 25 lb. monofilament line are provided.  All of the necessary tackle (hooks, etc.), brine and fresh-frozen herring is also provided.  Halibut gear is also available upon request.

For your comfort, custom designed 2-piece Mustang "Fishmaster" cruiser suits, rain gear and Helly Hansen boots (wide range of sizes) are provided for all guests.  Guests are also welcome to bring their own weather gear. 

Yes, you can take it with you.  The crew will clean, fillet, vacuum pack and freeze your fish to take home with you (subject to current catch limits, of course).  Plastic bags and waxed boxes for airline shipping ensure that your catch arrives in Vancouver in prime condition.  Tags are provided to identify your fish when caught so you know you're taking home your fish to share with family and friends!

You may also have your catch canned or smoked, and the Fishmaster will make arrangements to have your fish processed and delivered to your home at a reasonable cost.
