About Us

Mission

To create the best possible experience for those looking to get away. We can help connect you to the right guide/boat and even to help introduce you to new friends.

Arc Trips is founded by Sam Vandervalk, who started Salmon Eye Charters in 2002.

Sam previously guided for 2 resorts during 6 years previous. Salmon Eye Charters is based in Ucluelet BC

So why would you book here and not directly with Salmon Eye?

First, Sam knows many good guides and he wanted to use his knowledge helping people have a good time regardless where they fish.

Ucluelet has my favorite area but there are also other areas in British Columbia and the rest of the world that have incredible fishing with other benefits. We are going to be adding other areas outside of BC soon.

Second, availability is an issue. Salmon Eye operates from late May to early September and has a limited amount of available space.

So why book through Arc Trips?

First

we know all guides and boats that get listed here. You shouldn’t have any surprises.

Second

the reason a platform like Airbnb became so popular is that both hosts and guests get a chance to review. This platform will have that.

Third

we are going to offer things not offered at Salmon Eye.

Here are the Arctrips membership options:

We will do our very best to make sure you get paired with a great guide and have a fintastic trip!
