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’ 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.

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.

6 HOUR 2pm-8pm FISH / SHARK SLAYER on August 22, 20252 adults1 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!

Overall Great Experience!
3 HOUR 11am-2pm FISH / SHARK SLAYER on July 23, 20255 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!

Awesome Trip
5 HOUR 6am-11AM FISH / SHARK SLAYER on August 16, 20255 adults
We had a group of five out for a bachelor party fishing trip. Noah and Thor kept us on fish all day and we had a ton of fun. We had a mix of guys with different levels of fishing experience and handled us no problem. The boat itself was also extremely comfortable.

Fishing with Steve Irwin
SPORTFISHING or SHARKING or BOTH on March 16, 20252 adults
The passion this crew has for getting you on fish and making the trip memorable is unmatched. I’ve fished all over the US with a bunch of different guides and nobody has as much fun or loves what they do as much as Steven. They worked hard the entire time to get us on fish never sitting idle or giving up. Super accommodating and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back to fish with the Rockenreel crew again.

Good fishing trip at Dana Point
3 HOUR 11am-2pm FISH / SHARK SLAYER on August 16, 20252 adults
Went for a three hour trip fishing around Dana Point. Steve the captain is a great guy and enthousiastic about fishing. First we went fishing for smaller fish off shore, but they were not hungry. Picked up some shark bite in the harbour and for the second time we went fishing for sharks, but they were not biting as well. On the way back we got lucky and my 9 yr old son caught a 22’ halibirt. Thanks Steve and Rockandreel for this trip

Thanks for the great review. Makes my day when I get to take a father and son out on a fishing adventure. You are a great dad. It was a tough 3 hours and we all had to work for a bite- you and your son are great sportsmen with awesome attitudes- thats why the fish Gods gave your son that nice Halibut. He hooked and caught him by himself too. You Rock
