“Not worth the trip unless you like small fish”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2012

Got a hold of Marty two months ahead of time before my trip to Deer Harbor. He was always beeting around the bush on a set time. Seems like he was tring to get me to book an expensive 600.00 charter trip. I was only looking to get on to a boat with a party of four or six. Mailed... More

My apologies Darrel, My intent is not to be evasive. Durning the spring and summer we get a very high volume of booking inquiries. I do my best to keep up with them, while offering a personalized service to each charter. We have a 4 person minimum for each trip. Often times I am scrambling to find to find availability... More

“Great time - great fishing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

Captain Marty knows all the best fishing and crabbing holes. We spent a great day on the water and we all caught our limit of salmon. We also saw sea lions, seals, and orca whales. No need to bring a thing, he has all the gear, beverages, food and snacks. And...Marty gives great tips on how to smoke your salmon!... More

“Amazing Fishing Trip, Awesome Guide, GIANT FISH!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2011

Marty Mead with North Shore Charters took us out for an incredible fishing trip on May 20th, 2011. We were celebrating the one-year anniversary of my little brother's life-saving liver transplant . . . and the trip couldn't have been more perfect. Marty's skill and expertise in all things fishing coupled with his vast knowledge of the San Juans paid... More

“The most flexible and capable captain in the islands!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2011

Captain Marty Mead has his fingers on the pulse of the islands. When we initially booked the Rock Hopper for a few days of fishing, we were excited to have a captain who seemed to have a sixth sense for finding fish. On the second day, Capt. Marty let us know that a pod of whales had been spotted in... More

“Best San Juan Islands on-the-water experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2011

Captain Marty Mead runs a great charter service. His new boat, El Jefe, is solid, clean and very fast; Marty has a wealth of International skippering experience and he can take you where you want to go. I recommend North Shore Charters to all my guests at the Boathouse on Orcas.com

“Best Charter in the Pacific NW - thank you Captain Marty for a great fishing trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2011

North Shore Charters is a great way to spend a day in the San Juan Islands. We have been on several fishing charters in Alaska, Mexico, and elsewhere, and none compare to the time we had with Captain Marty. Captain Marty took me on a fishing trip this last summer and it was amazing. He helped me and my family... More
