I’ve been fishing out of Port Renfrew marina for 20 years now and one word describes it - fantastic. The fishing is unbelievable and the people that stay at and run the
marina are second to none. Since Bud and Rex have taken over the marina things have
started to take shape and they have great plans in store. I would and do recommend
staying at the marina to anyone. Tightlines.

After a great day fishing Port Renfrew, we spent a couple of hours at the Marina cleaning our many halibut and salmon, while swapping fish stories on the dock with guides, guests, and Marina staff. I was impressed by how friendly and easy-going everyone was, a really fun atmosphere. The Marina staff were very helpful and informative. I look forward to getting back next year to catch that big one that got away.
