RockenReel Sportfishing has a trip with your name on it along the stunning waters of Dana Point. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Steven knows them forwards and back.

Amberjack, Pacific Barracuda, Calico Bass, California Sheephead, Dolphin Mahi Mahi, Halibut, Rockfish, White Seabass, Mako Shark, Thresher Shark, Yellowfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, and more are in the cards if conditions are right. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Steven can also have you kite fishing.

Capt. Steven welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so go ahead and bring the whole family along!

You'll be fishing aboard a spacious 47' Jersey Convertible. While the vessel can carry up to 30 passengers, for safety and to ensure the best experience, trips are limited to a maximum of 6 guests. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, tackle, along with lures waiting for you.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

A local fishing license is required for all passengers aged 14 and older and must be purchased online before the trip.

Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some soft drinks, bottled water, and light snacks provided, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Best fishing experience...great value!!

    3 HOUR FISH / SHARK LUXURY YACHT on July 23, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Big mahalos to Captain Noah & Patrick for making sure we never came home empty handed. Even though our backup plan was stopping at the fish market…just wouldn’t be the same, right?! Fishermen, you may decide to go budget and save a few bucks by sailing with a large charter of 30-40 people. But then, after paying for boat entry and fees for rod/reel, bait, tackle, etc., not to mention the frustration of crossing lines and catching zero fish, will you really save?! And you absolutely cannot beat the 47’ Jersey Luxury “Tartar Sauce! It has all the creature comforts every rugged fisherman deserves! 100% recommend RockenReel Sports Fishing for the memories, and the fish!! Da Hawaiian Crew, Papa Ray, Ale, Koa, Juan & JT

    Captain Steve Rocks & Catches Fish!

    3 HOUR FISH / SHARK LUXURY YACHT - 6:00 PM on July 18, 2026 • 3 adults

    I love to fishing, but I love catching more than fishing! Captain Steve did not disappoint! We got the trifecta catching Bass, Benitos, and Barracuda. Within the bass family we caught Calico, Spotted, and Sand Bass! Patrick was awesome also with keeping fresh, live bait on our lines the whole time! But he was busy pulling fish off our lines all day too! Then he filleted our fish right on the boat to take home! Steve likes to tailor the experience to whatever you’d like, so we even trolled for a bit trying to catch different species of fish! We’ll be coming back with more family!

    Overall Great Experience!

    3 HOUR 11am-2pm FISH / SHARK SLAYER on July 23, 2025 • 5 adults

    Overall great experience! Our captain Noah was able to put us on the fish immediately. Thor was very knowledgeable and fun to learn from! They allowed the ability to set the hook and fight the fish yourself for people comfortable fishing, but were also very helpful and patient for people not as comfortable. We reeled in 3 Mako sharks and enjoyed our time on the water. One of the best experiences during our time visiting CA. We would highly recommend!

    Fun filled day

    SPORTFISHING or SHARKING or BOTH on August 16, 2024 • 4 adults

    If I could give more stars I would. Second time going out with the rocken reel crew. We went out with Captain Steve and deckhand Noah. They had stories and jokes,to go with their knowledge of the area. Got the opportunity to go out on the SS Tartar Sauce, great boat. Started off by catching some barracuda, bonita, calico bass, and mackerel. Captain Steve straight be lined to that hot spot where we were catching and reeling in fish every two minutes. Then we moved on to another area saw some dolphins and captain diverted so we could see them from the bow of the boat. Then we had an epic time catching mako sharks. Hooked a very large one that broke loose. Reset and hooked another 5 minutes later that one broke loose too! But reset and caught two more and brought them in and released them. So another great experience with this charter group. I recommend them to anyone looking to have a good time and experience. Only charter I will use.

    rocken time!

    6 HOUR 2pm-8pm FISH / SHARK SLAYER on August 22, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a great trip with Rocken Reel! We were celebrating my sons 13th birthday and they made him feel so special! My son really wanted to catch a barracuda, and both him and my husband caught one! along with about 30 sea bass! We ended the day catching a mako shark! It was awesome! The crew worked like crazy to make sure we caught fish and we had the best time! I would recommend them to anyone!

    Amazing Captain and Crew

    LONG LUNCH THREE HOUR 11am-2pm on July 19, 2024 • 3 adults

    We booked this for my son’s 13th birthday. We flew in from Colorado with his best friend in tow and the captain made sure that they were going to catch fish. They went above and beyond to make sure they did, and were just amazing to my family. The captain had us come back to make up for the fact we didn’t catch much on the first round. To me that speaks volumes. It’s about the experience to him and his crew. I can never thank them enough for the memories created today.

I am a Southern California native and have been an avid angler since the age of 3. Dana Point is rated one of the best fishing spots in Southern California, with only about a 5-minute voyage to get out of the harbor and into the fishing spots. When I had boats in Huntington and Newport, it took me almost an hour to get out of the harbor. I own a fast boat in a small harbor which means more fishing time for you. I purchased a couple of boats and bought a house across the street to follow my dream job – fishing!
