star rating  I totally concur with Eric L.
The fishing with Captain Scott  was EXCELLENT! 
He is a friendly person and very knowledgeable of the fishing area locally.
We chartered the... read more boat with Captain Scott for 10 hours.
It was a beautiful sunny day [25+ Deg.C] and calm waters.
After catching our fish limit early, Captain Scott took us whale watching nearby. What a BONUS on our fishing trip. 
On our return, Captain Scott cleaned and packed our fish at the dock while feeding a couple of local seals hanging around.   Captain Scott also recommended a local restaurant where they were able to cook one of our fresh catch of the day for our dinner that night to round off the day.
Given the opportunity, I would definitely do it again and strongly recommend Riptide Charters with Captain Scott. The boat Kratzsea is ideal for 4 adults fishing.

Snow capped mountains all around were a spectacular setting... read more while we had great success with the fishing. The plentiful salmon and prawns were enhanced by the chance to share it with someone who carries such knowledge, love, and respect for the environment. Francis Perrier Newfoundland Canada …

star rating  In Campbell River, you must go Salmon Fishing and to see whales. We were in CR end of August and had the opportunity to head out on the water. Coming... read more from a land locked state in the US, it’s a must!
Our Air B n B owner recommended her good friend Scott K and he took us out for the BEST day! We had our own private boat just us and him which is the only way to go. Don’t hassle with the crowds on the tour guide boats, go private! He said, “it’s your boat, I just drive where you tell me to”. However, he knows ALL the best places to go since he was born and raised here.

We started at 6:30am headed off dock (both we were early and he was prepared early) and within 5 minutes of departure, we see Orcas! He follows the law and respects the distance required which we appreciate but we got close enough to see their full beauty. He shuts his engine off for both whale and human enjoyment. Spent plenty of time in sever places for Orcas then headed off to Salmon fish for Chinook. (He has us get our fishing license before we met him)

There were many other boats in the area also fishing but he had the best equipment so we caught our fish right away! 27lb and a 22lb chinook!

We went for Coho after that but didn’t catch anything big enough to keep so we headed to see Sea Lions.

After that we cruised the shore of Quadra and saw many Bald Eagles.

Scott really knows his stuff, is personable, professional and polite. We had great conversations with him and he is super down to earth.

Worth every penny for a great day on the ocean in CR and would absolutely use him again!

star rating  What a great day on the water with Captain Scott at Riptide Fishing! Not the best weather but by far the best fishing chat=rter on the water. We... read more wanted our son and his girlfriend (first time fisher) to have the best introduction to fishing and were not disappointed. We've fished with Scott before and would recommend him to anyone and every one. 4 licenses on the boat and we all limited out in less than 8 hours! Boats all around us getting skunked! No doubt Captain Scott is the best guide in Campbell River! Looking forward to our nest time out!!

My nephew and I had a great day fishing with Scott. The boat and fishing gear were clean and in as-new shape. Scott was on top of everything on a busy day. Lots of fish on the line, he was often dealing with us each having a fish on at the same time. Scott knew where the fish were and we seemed to be catching more than the boats around us.

Op 9 augustus 2022 zijn wij (koppel uit Nederland) wezen vissen met Scott. Wat een relaxte gast! Hij is geinteresseerd in zijn gasten en is ook open over zichzelf. Een man van normen en waarden, zeer respectvol. Ook vertelt hij meer dan alleen hoe je moet vissen, ook de strategie erachter. Mijn partner vist ook graag in Nederland, dus ze hadden veel te praten, maar mij vergat hij zeker niet! Ook moedigt hij je aan zodra je beet hebt. Een dikke vette 10 voor Scott! Echte aanrader om met hem de zee op te gaan. Ook als je nog nooit gevist hebt, twijfel niet. Het is echt elke €\$ waard! Scott, bedankt!

My husband and I are from Alberta and came to visit cousins Geoff and Shannon Orlick. They took us on this tour and WOW is all I can say!!! Scott was an awesome host. My husband was able to scratch salmon fishing off of his bucket list. The whale watching was fantastic and the swim was even better. Thanks so much and will tell everyone about you!!! We will definitely be back. We'll worth it!!!

My husband & I went out with Capt Scott and had a great time! We got our limit in Salmon within an hour; we also saw sea lions, seals, otters, humpback whales, porpoises, and a helicopter landing on a yatch! Scott’s boat is clean & well kept & he is a pleasure to be around; very knowledgeable. Although my husband did catch the biggest fish; I caught more lol. We will definitely go out with Capt Scott again :)

Scott was awesome, very personable and knowledgeable. He took us out for five hours, and we managed 4 keeper salmon, and quite a few that were just undersized. The boat and equipment were top quality and Scott knew all the hot spots.

Great day of fishing today. Scott is an awesome captain, clean boat and let us be involved in the process as much as we wanted. We had a lot of action and limited out on the salmon. There were whales breaching and incredible sunrise. Highly recommended.
