Meet the Breakwater Team
The Breakwater Lodge isn't just a fishing destination; it's a labor of love, born from generations of coastal living and a passion for sharing the beauty of Sonora Island with others. Founded by Wes and Steph, who met on the island and built their lives around its natural wonders and their shared love for the land and sea, the Breakwater Lodge is a place where warmth and hospitality meet the rugged charm of coastal living.

With a deep-rooted passion for the outdoors, nature, and fishing, he began working at local lodges during high school summers, eventually becoming a fishing guide in the early 2000s. Now, after 21 years in the industry, he's finally fulfilling his dream of owning his own lodge.

Originating from Campbell River, Eric has always had a passion for fishing. From his early days of freshwater fishing in the area to his love for saltwater and salmon fishing, the waters have long been his sanctuary. Beyond his angling pursuits, you can find him exploring nature trails, camping under the stars, or refining his skills with a bow and arrow. Eric cherishes every moment he spends in the great outdoors, his second home.
