Bring your own boat option

[Reel_Restorations]

Hi all,

Looking to see what's out there for opinions on bring your own boat options. Me and a couple buddies do a trip every year, usually up in Port Hardy. Gonna look around at different options this year and would love to hear the best bring your own boat options at some of the lodges or cabin rentals with moorage around the island. All opinions help and it's much appreciated. Based out of Comox so any place around works!

I know that @Port Eliza Fishing has a good one, I’ve been looking at doing one as well, they’re my top choice.

Critter Cove (Nootka Sound) has a fleet of 18ft boats you can rent if you're staying there

I took my boat to Port Eliza last year and will be returning this year in late June. Not gourmet but clean, comfortable and very close to fishing. We had a great trip there last year and would recommend it to anyone.

Barkley Sound Lodge has BYOB package as well. 10 minute run from the Secret Beach launch and 20 minutes to Swale.

Slam Bang in Kyuquot, great area for fishing and the food there is amazing. “ Rustic” accommodations but reasonable price considering it’s remote location

I have done four trips outside of hardy trips bring own boat.

Eagle Nook in Barkley Sound is by far best if you can get in. Port Eliza was good last year I liked it.

Barkley Sound lodge went there twice and wouldn't do it again.

My opinion your trying to plan too late if your thinking Barkley sound. Most places already booked. Go Port Eliza.

I want to find something too for myself and 2 sons in June.Hope I'm not too late.

Try Harbourside Lodge in Bamfield. Lots of options for accommodations. June is a good month to go. Quiet still but solid fishing.

Not sure about other areas, but, Nootka in June is generally quieter and there is space in some of the lodges.

Thanks for the options. We usually toss around ideas but end up going back to Hardy every year. I'll do some more poking around. There seems to be a lot of availability this year compared to previous years.

I have stayed on my boat there a few times. It’s a bit run down but has everything you need. Bait, tackle, fuel, bbq’s, lots of free freezer space, and salt ice. A few guides work out if there so good fishing information too. It’s only a 5 minute idle to fish the wall which is great for an evening fish. They can only take about 10 boats or so
