Marine Eco-Tours

For the Hoek Setter family, it's not all fishing all the time. We cherish our time spent in nature and devote much of our energy into exploring the beautiful place we call home - Vancouver Island! With that in mind we are so happy offer Marine Eco-Tours as part of our charter operations. We understand the the opportunity to cruise along shorelines, and see marine wildlife up close is not available to everyone, and being able to share that with people is such a rewarding past time for us.
