Fish Hunter Charters

Fish Hunter Sport Fishing Charters welcomes you aboard for a day of fun-filled fishing. Spend the day either inshore or offshore, with great species to be found in each habitat. Trips range anywhere from 4 to 12 hours, so you will be sure to find an option to fit your schedule.

The “Fish Hunter” is a 34’ Luhrs sportfisherman which was completely overhauled in 2012. She can now carry up to six guests in comfort at speeds of almost 20 knots, and is loaded with all the essentials for the perfect day on the water.

The boat is equipped with GPS, fishfinder, outriggers, and a live bait tank. She has a spacious convertible flybridge for cruising in style and a fully air-conditioned interior with an enclosed head and plenty of space to relax in the cool.

Depending the trip, you could be targeting anything from Rockfish to Tuna, so you would expect a range of tackle to match the expansive target species. That is exactly what you get, with a choice of light and heavy tackle, and the option to troll, bottom fish, jig and pop. You also get the choice of live bait and lures, so you are always fishing your way.

Captain Marc comes from a long line of local fishermen, and has spent the last 30 years running charters and fishing commercially. He knows the waters, and understands the importance of getting your trip right. That is why he discusses every trip with the client ahead of time, building the perfect charter based on the aea or species you want to target.

All Fish Hunter Sport Fishing Charters trips come with tackle, bait, and lures. The crew also will fillet all your catch, so all you have to bring is some snacks and refreshments, your license, and a cooler big enough to fit all your fish in at the end of the day.

Capt. Marc Holzman is a fourth-generation San Diego native who has been working in the sport fishing industry for over 25 years. He began his career in 1987 as a deckhand on various San Diego fishing boats and yachts, where he gained much knowledge from the local captains. He earned his 100 ton Captains License in 2002, and started running boats from Mainland Mexico to Canada. Today, Capt. Marc operates his own charter company, which is a dream come true. He divides his time fishing the waters between San Diego and Cabo San Lucas, following the migrations of pelagic species as they move up and down the Baja Peninsula. He finds every day exciting, and looks forward to showing you around the San Diego waters and putting you on fish!
