Fishing Charters Of San Diego offers anything from mild to wild! Spend a perfect family-friendly day out on the water or head out offshore for the adrenaline-high trip. Join the crew that spent over 40 years fishing the waters of Southern California! With decades of professional experience, they can easily accommodate anyone, from a beginner level to a big game angler looking for his new record.

The adventure starts on a 36’ Hatteras boat that accommodates up to 6 guests. Bring your loved ones and share the fun. Even if someone from your group isn’t enthusiastic about fishing, they can enjoy their time on the boat. With an enclosed cabin, a bedroom, a private bathroom, and a kitchen, this boat has all the comfort of a home. They can enjoy the view from the flybridge or sunbathe at the front deck. The vessel is also wheelchair accessible.

Choose whether you want to stay closer to the shore and explore calm waters or head out to the depths, where the real predators live. Inshore and nearshore trips will get you White Seabass, Rockfish, Halibut, and Shark, while offshore tours can take you after Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Marlin, and more.

Each trip can be customized, so choose your target and fishing technique. The captain will do his best to meet your expectation.

All fishing equipment, snacks, and drinks are included in the price. Make sure to purchase your fishing license and pack some sun protection.

Fishing Charters Of San Diego welcomes you aboard!

5 Hour Inshore Trip (PM)

Awesome trip!

VERIFIED

We could not be happier with our experience! Nick and Gavin got us into fish and we fished non stop for the entire time! We had our 3 teenage boys and Nick and Gavin were handing them baited lines as soon as they caught one then they would catch another one! We kept every fish we could and Nick cleaned and prepared them all so all we need to do is cook them when we get home! Between the five of us we just have caught over 100 fish. It was our first ocean fishing experience and it was everything we hoped for. Nick and Gavin were knowledgeable and friendly and did all they could to make our trip enjoyable. Highly recommend this company! Also, book directly through their website to help them out!

3 Hour Trip (9AM)

Highlight of our trip to San Diego!

VERIFIED

We had an amazing offshore fishing experience as a family of four, and it’s all thanks to our fantastic guides, Gavin and Nick! From start to finish, they made everything easy and incredibly fun. They took care of all the baiting and setup—literally all we had to do was drop our lines in and enjoy the action. Both Gavin and Nick were not only professional, but also super friendly, helpful, and patient. They made us feel totally comfortable, even though we’re not experienced fishers. Their laid-back and fun personalities made the trip even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was spotting dolphins swimming nearby—it felt like a bonus adventure on top of the fishing! At the end of the day, Nick even filleted the fish we caught so we could take it home and enjoy the freshest meal possible. If you're looking for a fun, hassle-free, and memorable fishing trip with guides who genuinely care about making it a great experience, Gavin and Nick are the ones to book with. Highly recommend!

Fishing in San Diego was a success!

VERIFIED

Gavin and Nick did an outstanding job making our first sea fishing trip as a family of 4 a success. Once captain Gavin found the fish, he and Nick worked like a well oiled machine, baiting the hooks, measuring fish, keeping us with lines in the water. We were fish on most of the time! We have two boys, 11 and 13. Gavin and Nick did a great job keeping them reeling up the fish. We caught a sheep head, Bonita, bass and a couple baracuda. Totally worth it. Highly recommend. We will be booking again a longer charter on our next visit to San Diego!

We can’t thank Captain Brian and Sam enough. They put our family on a lot of rockfish and showed us a great time. A special call out to Sam. This was a first time experience charter fishing for our two youngest sons. Sam was engaging with the kids, raised their excitement level and helped them along the way. If we charter again, we will book with Captain again!!!

Nick and Gavin were fantastic. Our group consisted of my wife and I, our 26 year old son and his fiancée, and our 22 and 17 year old sons- everyone had varying level of experience fishing and barely any of us had ever been on a boat. Nick and Gavin were patient and taught us how to fish. They did all the work and let our group really enjoy the trip. Pre trip communication was amazing, with fast response times and clear answers. Would highly recommend fishing charters of San Diego.
