Westview Marina and Lodging

Fished here for several years. Quit coming here 3 years ago because the owner, John kept screwing us over on guides. We usually had 6-9 guys and we were lucky if we got one decent guide out of 2-3 boats. He even stuck us with a guy who had NEVER been a fishing guide before and wasn't even a decent fisherman - preferred to go whale watching!The final straw was when John lied to us and assured us we would have at least one good guide - Cowboy, whom we fished with the year before. Otherwise we weren't coming back and I told John that. So we booked the trip ONE YEAR IN ADVANCE based on his assurance that we would have Cowboy as one of our guides. We show up the next year and we find out Cowboy is guiding another group that had booked 2 WEEKS BEFORE they got there (we asked them). One of our guides that John foisted off on us ONLY previous experience in a boat had been taking Whale Watching tours and the other guide was almost as bad. BEST MOVE EVER WAS LEAVING THIS DOUBLE DEALING AND DISHONESTY BEHIND!

If you are heading out on the water in this area this is a great place to launch.

Just got home from a 3 day fishing trip with the folks at Westview Marina and Lodge, and what a great trip it was. Of course anybody might be a bit sceptical of a little remote fishing lodge as I was, but needlessly so. The remoteness of the place is one of the things that make it special . It is well worth the drive to Westview. Absolutely great people there too, from the owner, John, to all of his employees, they all treat you special. And our fishing guide, Troy, is the best. What a great guide and person. He knows where the fish are and exactly how to catch them. We all went home with our limits. WOW do we have a mess of fish to feast on for the next several months.I absolutely love Westview Marina and Lodge and highly recommend it to anybody looking for a great fishing experience.Bill M

Great patio, super friendly staff. Cold beer.

Great fishing lodge. Room was a house that needs some repairs. Talon, our guide, was excellent. Food was mostly good.

Great food, amazing staff and fun atmosphere. A special thanks to the owner for allowing the traveling cyclist to sleep on the deck at his marina and stay dry out of the rain!!

Was just getting set up for the season. Very accommodating. The sticky toffee pudding was fantastic. This is the happening place in Tahsis.

John the owner does an amazing job ensuring everyone is well taken care of from the other local lodges private guides, bring your own boat or if you are just there to sit down. excellent staff . keep rocking the dock

There were some mix ups but it was resolved quickly. We have a nice place to sleep and the best view

We took a boat from this marina to start our hike of the Nootka Island Trail. A well stocked marina with lots of fishing gear, some food services, and amazing views.
