RockenReel Sportfishing - 47' Jersey "LUXURY"

34555 Casitas Place
Dana Point, CA, United States

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’ 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.

The RockenReel family strives for the ultimate charter experience, for hikers, climbers, river junkies, beach lovers, lake explorers, and storytellers come join our family and make lifelong memories on the water.

3 HOUR 11am-2pm FISH / SHARK SLAYER

Overall Great Experience!

VERIFIED

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!

We had a great trip. My son got a little sea sick but the captain was able to bring him in for some harbor fishing and make another attempt. Caught some good fish and believe it or not even my son wants to go again. He was a trooper but they clearly made it a memory for him he wants to repeat regardless.
