Peter Wright - Owner Operator

Hello adventure seekers, yup, that's me holding a beautiful Tyee Chinook (spring/king) salmon. I'm very pleased to welcome you to Coastal Blue Adventures! My wife, Shannon and I take great pride in building & delivering a fishing and marine adventure that will be exciting and memorable when you are in Nanaimo.  At any point during your visit to our site, please don't hesitate to call or email with your questions. Take a moment to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Youtube. Even better if you give a heart and a thumbs up.


I am a Certified Tidal Angling Guide through the Sport Fishing Institute of BC and Pro-Staff for Luhr Jenson, Rapala, Sufix, Pelagic and VMC.  I am an accomplished angler with 40 years of fishing, boating and water experience. I have guided and extensively fished near and far off places that include the salt and fresh waters of BC, Yukon, Alberta, North West Territories, Ontario, Alaska, Florida, Mexico, Thailand and Japan. Now a retired member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, my family and I are forever thankful we ended up on Vancouver Island exploring our coast. Come aboard and join Coastal Blues for an adventure that will leave you smiling when you select a charter in Nanaimo.
