Thunder 1 Adventures

We just completed another amazing fishing trip (my third time) on the Thunder 1. As always, Doug and Deb were fantastic hosts. We caught our limit every day, and Doug is so knowledgeable and freely (and patiently) shares his knowledge with rookie fisher people like me. I had looked forward to again experiencing Deb's gourmet delights, and the meals were over the top. The four days on the Thunder were most enjoyable - we were thoroughly pampered. Thanks Doug and Deb for my fantastic Birthday celebration dinner - glad I had my big day on the Thunder. Since we have a freezer full of delicious salmon and halibut, we will see you again two years from now (or when we run out - whichever is sooner).

Couldn’t have been better!! If you want a great way to get excellent fishing, fantastic food, and a relaxing time Thunder 1 is the way to go. Die hard fisherman or casual (even if you are together) this is the best way to have a great fishing trip.

Excellent Fishing Trip! Very well organized and great communication from Doug and Deb, they made it a seamless trip from arrival to departure. The on board meals were fantastic and we where hosted more like family than guests. Fishing was fantastic considering the early season, even landed a 51 lb halibut!

We loved everything about our trip with Thunder 1 Adventures. Beautiful boat, spectacular scenery and wildlife viewing and delicious meals. Hosts Doug and Deb were so much fun, and their knowledge of the history, culture and ecosystems of BC’s north-coast was impressive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We wish we could do a 10 star review as this was a trip of a lifetime. Incredible food, amazing fishing, wonderful wildlife and great company. Doug and Deb are fantastic hosts. I can't imagine anyone not having a terrific adventure!

When I was 16 I went on a week long fishing trip off the coast of BC. It was an amazing experience. Now as an adult 20 years later and with kids of my own I wanted to get back on the ocean and started to look for a charter that I could possibly make an annual trip with. After extensive research online, we chose Thunder 1 adventures. We couldn’t have made a better choice. This experience has been absolutely amazing. Doug and Deb are such great hosts. The boat is comfortable, Deb’s cooking was so delicious. It didn’t matter what she made, it was so tasty. Doug is very knowledgeable fisherman put us in the fish. We are going home with plenty of fish to fill the freezer we with. This trip is an all around package. Good company, comfortable environment and great fishing. I highly recommend this charter. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Doug and Deb for a wonderful trip!!!

After the fantastic trip my in-laws had aboard the Thunder 1 last summer, we decided to snap up a last minute cancellation in July and took our 3 boys on this truly memorable Canadian fishing experience. Doug and Deb are perfect hosts and we came away with 3 happy new fishermen. The awesome salmon and halibut fishing under Doug's expert guidance, pulling up prawn pots for that night's dinner, catching rockfish to feed the resident eagle, Deb's delicious food, spectacular scenery (despite that pesky morning fog) and wildlife spotting are memories that will stay with us for life. And not a phone screen to be seen! We feel privileged to have been shown such a special part of the world by 2 people who have such a passion for it.

23 hour flight from Melbourne, followed by a leisurely road trip up the Island to Port Hardy. Overnight stay, 0530 start to the ferry to Prince Rupert, arriving 19 hours later. Where we tired...... jet lagged.... confused.... YepBut the following day, we saw Thunder 1 and met Doug and Deb, and all the head mushiness fell away. Leaving? The start of 4 days and 3 nights of fun, fish, a little frivolity and great food.With the patient and expert tuition from Doug, we filled our limit with Coho, Halibut and a couple of cod.More charming hosts, one could not find anywhere, and this coupled with the awe inspiring scenery, bird and aquatic life almost overcame one's sensual capacity.Even the sea conditions were kind to us, and as the photos, the skies were cloudless and sunnyHappy to provide further feedback by email. Just contact through Thunder 1Now...... to eat the spoils and plan for another trip

Fantastic trip with great company. Deb and Doug were fun to spend the weekend with. Lots of laughs. The fishing was great! Deb’s cooking was amazing! We weren’t hungry for a minute on board. And Doug’s ‘fishy tingle’ was spot on. He knew where all the fish were. Would highly recommend!

After experiencing a recent brothers get away on board Thunder 1 , I would like to give a big shout out to Deb and Doug for an unforgettable experience. With Doug’s skippering skills and fishing experience, we where able to produce a respectable catch at a time many other boats had poor catches. We were shown a variety of beautiful scenic locations and sea life not normally available to us.Deb produced an unbelievable menu, not seen on most other charters I have been on. The meals were excellent.The boat (yacht) was very clean and much more organized than any of my previous charters. The fishing gear was top quality and in tip top shape.I would not hesitate to book again with Deb and Doug, thanks again.
