Welcome to the Fancy Free, Our 38 Foot Luxurious Fishing Vessel
Salmon and Halibut Fishing out of Tofino and Ucluelet, (West Coast Vancouver Island) aboard the Fancy Free our 38 ft customized luxury offshore fishing yacht is an experience you will cherish for a lifetime. We proudly offer the most luxurious charter boat on the coast.  Safe, warm, dry, and extremely comfortable.

About Our Customized for Fishing Bayliner Motoryacht, The Fancy Free
The Bayliner 3870 motoryacht was the most popular boat Bayliner ever produced. (well over 6000) The fit and finish is second to none and we have outfitted it specifically for fishing the west coast. 

Electric Deep Lines for Trolling, Flush Tanks, 100 Square Foot Back Deck
Lets start at the stern, a custom swim platform has been installed to accommodate not less that 4 electric deep lines, used for trolling salmon and halibut, custom sea water flush tanks, and a back deck that boasts over 100 square for battling all the fish you can catch. What are the sea water flush tanks for? In order to provide the absolute best quality of product for our guests, we are able to cut the gills of our salmon and halibut and let them bleed out in our tanks to ensure a table ready product right from the stern of our boat.

Salon
Once you step into the main salon to Port there is a large U shaped settee (couch) with a large table and enough seating for 6-8 guests easily. To Starboard is the Captains chair and small sink and cupboard area.

Galley
Forward of the salon to starboard and down two steps is the galley (full kitchen) equipped with a range, microwave oven, fridge/freezer, and of course a coffee maker. (all the fresh west coast air, and fishing can sure make a guy hungry)  We do have 110v power available on demand so if you need to charge a cell phone or plug in your laptop, the Fancy Free has you covered.

Two Full Staterooms
A full day of Salmon and Halibut fishing can be a strenuous experience, so if you would like to take a nap, we have two full staterooms both with queen size berths. One is located to port across from the galley, the other all the way forward.

Two Heads Are Better Than One
Unlike fishing on a smaller vessel, two marine heads (washrooms) with a hot water on demand finish the package.

State of The Art Safety Equipment and Electronics
Of course our fishing vessel is updated with all the latest safety equipment and electronics and all of our captains carry Transport Canada certification.
