Capt. Dan invites you on his 33’ Wellcraft sportfisher, built for extreme offshore conditions and equipped with state-of-the-art amenities and electronics.

Just take a look at some of the Salmon photos on the listing! After your trip, the crew will offer to clean your catch so you don’t leave the boat empty-handed.

You’ll be provided with top-tier Shimano gear, so all that’s left for you to do is pick up a fishing license before the trip, arrive 15 minutes early, and bring snacks, drinks, warm clothing, and some sunscreen.
