A Must Have Before You Arrive In Ucluelet
“Please Note”
Paul’s 20-plus years of saltwater fishing experience in the Ucluelet area will tell you no guarantee of catching fish is needed from a Charter. Be aware of those offers and guarantees. On a typical charter with Paul, it is normal to catch between 20 to 30 fish, however, on a great day, you can catch up to 50! The secret to charter fishing is to fish with the boat owner.
“When you fish with the Owner, the Commitment to Excellence is Guaranteed.”
Fuel Surcharge Policy
Ucluelet has only one source for marine fuel, and for the past several years, prices have consistently risen well beyond the national average. Marine fuel costs here often reach $2.45 per litre, compared to the $1.30/litre baseline used when our package rates were first developed back in 2017.
For the past two seasons, we’ve added a Fuel Surcharge (FSC) to account for this increase. However, instead of stacking fixed surcharges or building it into higher package prices like some operators, Castaway Charters uses a fair, fluctuating fuel surcharge model based on the actual fuel price on the day of your trip.
Here’s how it works:
-
We compare the fuel price on the day of your charter to our original rate of $1.30/litre.
-
You only pay the difference.
-
On average, the FSC has ranged from $150 to $250 per day, or roughly $1.00/litre extra.
This approach is designed to be transparent and customer-friendly. Many clients have told us it saved them money compared to flat-rate competitors. Plus, it keeps the base price of your trip lower—leaving you the choice to show appreciation if you feel the trip was exceptional. (I rely on your tips, not padded rates.)
Note: Taxes and gratuities are not included in any listed rates.
Fuel surcharges are adjusted based on seasonal market prices. Castaway Charters passes on only a portion of the increase to keep it fair and simple for you.
