Full Day – Open Ocean Fishing on August 29, 2026 • 10 adultssmall fish galor 2 good size
Andres Jimenez5.0VerifiedIt was a perfect fishing trip!
Half Day – San Francisco Bay (AM) on March 15, 2025 • 6 adultsIt was our first group deep sea fishing trip. Expectations were exceeded by Capt. Brent and crew. They were very knowledgeable. They were also very patient. We were having a tough time setting the hook after bites. Capt. Brent and crew showed us techniques to help. It was easy after the lessons. We caught our limit of striped bass (12). We also landed a sturgeon and a starry flounder. We did release the sturgeon because it was out of season. I will be booking with them for my next trip! Highly recommend.

Kenneth Deguzman5.0VerifiedHalf-day trip with SF Boat Support, All-Around Excellent!
Half Day – San Francisco Bay (PM) on May 14, 2022 • 7 adultsMy group had an excellent time on our half-day fishing trip! Capt. Brent and Crew were great hosts and understanding as my group was running late trying to bust through San Francisco traffic. Once we got out the fishing was fun, easy and relaxing with a beautiful view of the San Francisco Skyline. Our catches were processed quickly and professionally on our way back to shore, I'd happily recommend SF Boat Support for any angler/anglers!
Owen Olano5.0VerifiedHalf day in the morning w Captain Brent
Half Day – San Francisco Bay (AM) on April 6, 2021 • 9 adults • 2 childrenThis was an amazing trip a first for our group. Captain Brent and his first mate were excellent. They provided everything you needed. Don’t worry if you don’t have experience they will help you with everything. They have some of the best reels from Penn and rods from Ugly Stik and most important they provided live bait. Captain Brents first mate went above and beyond and had a lot of patience with my younger son even more than I had LOL. He was very attentive to everyone and made sure everyone was fishing the right way. Captain Brent did his best to get us to the most spots time allowed so we can catch something but the truth is the spots may be good but sometimes the fish just ain’t biting. In our group of 8, 3 of us came home empty-handed, so no guarantees but it was a great experience overall... no regrets. My brother caught a 25” halibut with 20 mins left on the clock. My other brother, son, and father in law caught some rock cod’s and a 15” halibut. I know it gets pricey but next time we will try to go for the whole day for better chances...and definitely go with Captain Brent.

Half Day – San Francisco Bay (AM) on July 28, 2020 • 8 adults • 2 childrenI took my 4 boys and 2 nephews out and they all had a great time. The crew was very attentive and worked hard to help them learn how to use the equipment and catch a few fish. Definitely would recommend this charter.
