Join our captains aboard our 23’ Parker that can easily have you and 3 of your friends fishing in comfort. With cruising speeds of 18-27kts (20-32mph) and 4 scoop bait capacity Brothers Sport Fishing is setup for the serious offshore adventurer.

Safety is our top priority. We carry above the US Coast Guard minimum required safety equipment, including: Commercial Life Jackets (Adult & Children), Radar, 3 VHF Radios (1 emergency handheld), and EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon).

Depending on the season, go up to 70 miles offshore for Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowtail Amberjack, Mahi Mahi (Dorado), and the occasional Marlin. Or go inshore for Rockfish, Lingcod, Sheepshead, Bonito, Barracuda, Halibut, White Sea Bass, and many more.

Included in all trips: Seeker rods, Shimano reels, live bait, ice, fish cleaning, waters & gatorades.

Bring your packed lunch. Coronado Islands trips require valid passport for all passengers. Passports not required for all other trips. Fishing Licenses are additional and can be purchased at the tackle shop next door to our marina on the morning of the trip.
