Pacific Venture Sportfishing is a private 1–6 passenger vessel operating out of Oceanside Harbor, CA, delivering premium sportfishing and ocean experiences with safety, performance, and professionalism at the forefront.

Owned and operated by Captain Patrick Hause, Pacific Venture is built on experience, precision, and a deep respect for the Pacific.

Captain Patrick has been fishing since a very young age. From the waters of Baja up to the Southern California coast, years on the water has given him an instinctive understanding of seasonal migrations, offshore patterns, and where the fish are biting.

With six years of professional experience aboard larger SoCal charter vessels, Patrick knows how to run fun and smooth trips finding the right spots to catch fish — whether it's a 4-hour family trip or a full 8-hour offshore adventure.

Let's Talk SAFETY.

Pacific Venture is the only 6-passenger commercial charter vessel in Oceanside equipped with an automatic life raft and an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon), critical emergency equipment that exceeds standard requirements.

The vessel holds an official Uninspected Passenger Vessel (UPV) decal issued by the U.S. Coast Guard, confirming full compliance with federal safety standards.

Pacific Venture is a 43' LOA vessel that's powered by a pair of 230 HP Yanmar 2023 Diesel engines. She's got plenty of room for up to 6 people to fish and enjoy themselves in comfort. She's got 'SeaKeeper Stabilization Technology', specifically designed to virtually eliminate 90% boat roll. Not only that, but she's got a spacious flybridge with seating for 5 people, as well as a toilet that comes in very handy on longer trips.

Pacific Venture also hosts seasonal whale watching excursions and respectful burials at sea, handled with the same professionalism and care. Every trip is about creating memorable experiences on the water.

Step aboard Pacific Venture Sportfishing and experience the Pacific at its best!

I began fishing before I could even remember. I have had a passion for fishing since age 3. I would always be looking forward to trips with my dad. Whether that was going to Baja, fishing the sports in San Diego or going to Catalina for a few days at a time in the summers. Over the last 8 years I have been working hard learning the techniques to catch these pelagic fish aswell and study there migration cycles. After spending 6 years on the Oceanside 95 I feel confident taking clients out and putting them on fish in a fun and safe manner. Southern California is special and I feel so grateful to be able to be on the water day in and day out and teaching people who don’t get to fish a lot, all that California has to offer.

    Departed the dock at 8:00, stopped by the bait dock and picked up some sardines and mackerel. Made our way down south in the beautifully calm water, saw a few dolphin as we approached our first fishing spot. Was a slow start to the morning, however started to pick up towards the end of our 5 hour trip with a very nice variety of fish for the day! Scuplin, calico, white fish, blue perch, mackerel, rock fish, johnny bass, and sheepshead! Tried a few different spots throughout the day ans ended it with a solid spot hooking fish every 5-10 min. Saw a few dolphins and kept our eyes out for whales. Fun day for this family!

    Departed from the slip around 7:30am, stopped and picked up some fresh sardines and mackerel from the local bait dock. Steamed offshore to look for some dolphins and whales. Then we cruised in shore to catch a variety of fish for the morning. Sculpin, sheepshead, and some blue perch! Sun was out and the water was calm. Lovely winter morning of fishing for this family:)
