3/4 Day- Catalina Island on May 16, 2026 • 6 adultsWent on a 3/4 day around Catalina had a great haul of bass and yellowtail.
Jeromy AsidoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWow! Amazing trip
3/4 Day- Catalina Island on August 25, 2024 • 6 adultsWe want to thank captain herman and Anthony for doing a Catalina trip with us. They made sure we were always catching fish whenever we went to. We did the 3/4 day trip but because we caught so much fish, they were kind enough to let us do a full day trip and we paid the extra cost. Amazing trip! Everyone had fun and everyone caught fish. We also saw many tuna schools around Catalina island on the way back!!! We want to book again and if you choose this trip you will not regret it. Amazing team. 5/5 stars.

Full Day Trip–Catalina Island on July 30, 2023 • 6 adultsOur trip was amazing!! Couldn’t have asked for a better crew!! Captain Herman and Deckhand Danny were just fantastic…. They made everything about our trip one of the best days we’ve had fishing ever!!! We fished both locally and around Catalina Island. Captain Herman insured that we were on fish all day and Deckhand Danny helped everyone on board land every fish possible. Thanks guys!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Karen BurnettRepeat angler5.0VerifiedThe Mardiosa Never disappoints
Full Day Trip–Catalina Island on August 9, 2024 • 6 adultsCaptain Herman delivered another great fishing trip. We caught many fish and the experience never disappoints. We have fished on this boat for many years and I would recommend this 6 pack for anyone looking to enjoy a day on the water.
Robert Miller5.0VerifiedFull 12 hour day with Herman and Pat
Full Day Trip–Catalina Island on March 9, 2022 • 4 adultsWe got a bit of a late start because of something left behind at the dock but the captain made up the time at the other end. The captain and deck hand were terrific — very attentive. We caught a few smaller rockfish in the morning, then tried unsuccessfully for bass, then went back to bottom fishing in the afternoon and they found us a sweet spot where we caught numerous rockfish, a couple of sand dabs and two Ling Cod. Best day of deep sea fishing I’ve had and Pat worked hard filleting them all.
Sandra Lowe5.0VerifiedFamily day on the water!

Full Day Trip–Catalina Island on August 13, 2023 • 6 adultsThis is our third trip on the Maridosa and it’s always a great experience.
Albert AtilanoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day of Cod fishing on the Mardiosa
Full Day Trip–Catalina Island on April 29, 2023 • 6 adultsCaptain Herman and deckhand Anthony were very helpful and had us on quality fish the whole day
Alexander Byun5.0VerifiedCatalina Island - Full Day
Full Day Trip–Catalina Island on September 3, 2021 • 6 adultsToo many pictures to post so chose the biggest yellow we landed that day. It was a slow day but the captain made the right calls and put us in position to capitalize on some huge yellows. Flew out from Texas and had a blast on the Mardiosa. Would highly recommend booking with Captain Dorado.

Thanks David! Hope to see your group again! Going to be a good summer this year!
Went on a 3/4 day around Catalina had a great haul of bass and yellowtail.
Thanks Al! Let’s do it again soon!
My 93-year-old father wanted to go fishing so I needed a boat that would allow a chair, or even a wheelchair, for him to use all day. This boat has plenty of room for my son and I to fish and the chair was never in our way. Mark and Chris took good care of us, especially dad, They would throw out a line and hook a fish, then tell my dad here let's trade poles. Heck, my dad had two on the boat before I got my first bite. My dad told me on the way home that he'd like to go out again. Another highlight was my son got his first Yellowtail, about a 15 pounder, and ate the heart. Weather was great, seas perfect, you just can't go wrong fishing. The cost of our full day trip (12 hours) was fair and well worth it for the memories we made.
Thank you John, and glad that we could help you and your family make core memories together! Hope to see you all again soon!

Thank you Jeromy!! Too bad the two tuna bites didn’t stick on the hook. Next time!
