The new owners plan to “really put our time and effort and TLC into the rooms and the property itself,” she said. The aim is to focus on a family-friendly environment and activities.

After the ship is removed, the marina will be rebuilt with slips available for rent, Se said.

Fishing charters were operated through the hotel in the past, but the lodge will not be in that business in the future, she said.

Se plans to put together adventure tourism packages for lodge guests and partner with local businesses.

Sounds like a smart move!

Sorta sad; Iv'e been going out with them off & on since 1983. For the casual fisher it was a good option & if you brought your own gear so you didn't have to jig at 180 ft with a 3oz reef raider & 30 lb mono, it was a cheap ride to some descent fishing.
In 1986 Me & a buddy went out with 6oz Point Wilson Darts & came in with 6 25lb Fraser's back in the day when the only release was the "long line" variety.

I agree, seems like a solid business plan. A win - win for Ucluelet!

Huh. No more puke boats. Anyone want a cheap deal on a 42 footer?
