Trips and Services
Advantage Charters in Westport, Washington offers five different exciting fishing trips for you to enjoy. Salmon Trips give you the chance to catch a big king or an exciting silver. Bottomfishing Trips offers a high bag limit and the chance to land a big ling cod. For those of you who like the sounds of both of these trips, we offer them together in the same day with our Salmon/Bottomfish Combo Trip. Halibut Trips take you to the deep waters offshore, and time permitting also let you catch bottomfish as well. The most advanced trip that we offer is our Albacore Tuna Trip, which takes you overnight way offshore to the blue water to catch powerful albacore. We recommend that you try them all, and we look forward to seeing you.
 


Bottomfishing trips depart from float 12 in Westport and are available April through September. Departure time 5:00 AM sharp unless otherwise specified. Please check in approximately 30 to 45 minutes before departure. Each person is allowed 7 rockfish and 2 ling cod. Trips are scheduled for 8 hours unless limits are reached earlier. This trip is a favorite of many because of the number of fish you are allowed to catch. These great eating white fish are commonly used for fish and chips. Rockfish are fileted for $10.00 per limit. Fishing license is required and can be purchased aboard the boat.

NEW FOR 2019!!!


Deepwater Ling Cod and Rockfish trips depart from float 12 in Westport and are available from June 1 to June 15. This year, due to a change in regulations and improvement in fish stocks, the offshore areas that have been closed to bottomfishing for several years will now be open. We are hopeful that since these areas have gone for years without being fished, we will be able to land some really nice fish.
