Safety

Your safety is our first priority at Tofino Fish Guides. We meet and exceed current safety standards set out by Transport Canada.


 F.V. Red Sky


  • Transport Canada certified - Small vessel compliance program, (SVCP) registered, Look for the blue decal.

  • Radar equip vessel - during the summer Tofino often experiences foggy conditions. Radar allows your captain to maintain a watch even in extremely low visibility.
  • Powered by twin four stroke Yamaha outboard engines - having two main engines is an important safety feature.

  • 4 person life raft - although this size of vessel is not required to carry a life raft we have invested in one primarily for tuna charters but always nice to have.
