Sarah Mcdaniels5.0VerifiedJune fishing trip
4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (PM) on June 19, 2025 • 9 adults • 5 childrenWe had an unforgettable experience with the Calabasas Fishing Fleet! From the moment we stepped on board, the crew was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and genuinely focused on making sure everyone had a great time. They made sure we were always in the action and catching fish—even the kids got to reel in some sharks, which was an absolute highlight! The staff went above and beyond to make it fun, safe, and memorable for all ages. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an exciting ocean fishing adventure!

If you want something for dinner this is the place to go
4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (AM) on September 24, 2025 • 1 adultYou can't get any fresher fish then catching it yourself! And having the mates fileted it is even better. Well worth the money. Go and get fishing. They will teach you if you don't know how. It's great. Very relaxing...love the whole crew Rose
Pete Perfetti5.0VerifiedFishing with Robert
4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (AM) on August 28, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenSpent a wonderful morning on the Ms. Calabash with Captain Dave and his Mate. Between the 3 of us, we caught about 50-60 fish (seabass mostly and released due to size). Jolie and I were even hooking the bait!!
Susan Johnson5.0VerifiedFirst mate Nate
4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (AM) on July 19, 2024 • 6 adults • 3 childrenWe were a party of 2 adults and 4 kids. Nate was SO great with the kids. He assisted us when needed and engaged with the kids to ensure they had a great trip. The captain went out of his way to get us on the fish. He moved several times and kept us out a bit longer to try to ensure we caught fish. I would highly recommend this trip for young and first Tim fisherman.
Stacey Files5.0VerifiedWow! Amazing Trip!
4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (PM) on July 23, 2022 • 2 adultsI booked this as a surprise for us for my husband's birthday. He had a BLAST! I got a little sea sick so I wasn't able to fish much but even when I did fish a little the Deck mate was absolutely amazing! He was so quick to help everyone with every catch and keeping the hooks baited, fish removed from the hooks and even untangled lines the couple time is some got tangled. Super nice, helpful, and I would 100% recommend this trip! We definitely want to go again! Tripp was our deck mate and Chris was our Captain. They were great and even though I wasn't feeling good, I still really enjoyed just watching it all go on. Really impressed with the service. Also, appreciated the call the evening before to move our trip time so they could give us the best chance at being able to go out to fish around the weather forecast. It being a smaller boat than other we saw put made me thankful bc there weren't as many people to have to fish around on the boat.
Lorna Kimble5.0VerifiedFun exciting and great.

I think Robert was our captain, him and his crew were awesome, they were so attentive and so helpful. Full of life and so kind. We had 5 adults and 5 kids which is including an infant. Some of our family member got a bit sea sick but they were so helpful and one of our kids got sick and she was with the adult that had the infant at the time she got sick and one of the crew members jumped in with no questions asked and helped her until one of the other adults could come tend to her safely. These guys were amazing. Not only that, they helped the kids and adults baiting,casting, and taking the fish off the hook as well as bird nested lines on the poles. Any problem you may have they did what they could to make the experience wonderful. They helped keep everyones line in the water witch resulted in a successful fishing trip. Probably one of the beat experiences in my life.
Thank you so much for the kind review! We enjoyed having your family aboard today and we hope to see again!

Thank you for the kind words and thank you for joining us on out on the water! 
Great trip for our office staff to take a break and get out of the office. The captain and first mate were more than knowledgeable and very accommodating. Great morning on the water.
