Invictus Charters

It’s a shame to see the bad reviews, they seem fishy (pun intended). Our experience with Gerry was fantastic. We took a family trip for the 5 of us, and it was very enjoyable. Gerry was very kind and super educational! Although we didn’t bring any fish home, we released plenty and will definitely be coming back again and telling family and friends! I’ve never really fished before but I had an amazing time, and definitely recommend Invictus Charters to anyone thinking about trying it out.

Avoid booking any excursions with Invictus Charters and/or with Captain Gerry. It an utter shame when a business owner is rude, deceitful and unwilling to compromise with others because they care more about their ego than providing any decent customer service. If I could leave 0 star rating I would but Google does not allow that at this time. Our issue was simple - we asked for refund (within 24 hrs) because were deceived as to what type of boat we would have for this trip. Our trip is weeks away, thus, this is not a last second cancellation. Having read messages and hearing phone calls between Gerry and people in my party trying to resolve our issue with the excursion and with him, I am appalled to hear the things he said and his unwillingness to resolve the issue. Can you imagine being told from a business owner that they will personally "come for your house" and you better "be ready to pay?" Any reasonable customer should never have to endure this. No one should ever book a trip with him or his company. If you are looking for someone who thinks their experience trumps any questions or concerns about the service you are paying for - that's Gerry. If this review serves any purpose, I hope it is a wake up call to the business that Gerry needs to change the way he interacts with individuals. Furthermore, I hope sharing try party's experience ensures future group's really do their research when selecting reputable fishing excursions. Since posting - Gerry has chosen to threaten members of my group with legal action because he thinks he can bully people from posting reviews of their dealings with him and his business.

Gerry was very stand off ish and lied to us saying we could catch halibut in Nanaimo at this time of the year. Very rude when we canceled and continued to text us with harassing messages. Update: lol no kidding you have no record, 1. it was booked under my husbands name 2. Wasnt even booked with you, you would have never even reached out to you with such reviews. Nice try way you trick people tho. We will be happy to provide screenshots to refresh your memory or maybe you should just go back and look at what you were texting my husband. Unprofessional does not begin to cover it. And to tell people that it's possibly to catch halibut rn....woooow...and you call yourself a fisherman? No wonder other company we actually went to laughed at that statement of yours. All the best to you and the people who decide to trust ur "expertise".

Captain Jerry is a top class angler guide! His passion for fishing just rubbed off on us. If you are in Nanaimo and would love to fish. He's my man for the job!

We had a great day on the water with captain Gerry. We hooked several salmon. Gerry knew the waters and where to get the best opportunities. A very pleasant and successful fishing charter. Thanks you Gerry.

We had an awesome time fishing with Captain Gerry. He knew where to find the salmon as we hooked into some nice spring salmon. We caught our limit of prawns and crab as well. Made for a great family day outing! Thanks Captain Gerry!

We Had a great fishing day with Gerry of Invictus Charters! Caught more salmon than I ever seen before. He is a great captain and guide!

We booked for our family of 5 adults. We lost count of how many fish we pulled in. Gerry didn’t stop the whole time we were out. He was running around helping us reel in our catch, telling jokes, entertaining us and keeping us laughing. He provided tales of local stories while we waited for the next rod to start shaking. We had an awesome day on the water. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks Gerry for being a terrific host! We will definitely be back!
