Fishing Charters Of San Diego
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.

3 Hour Trip on December 16, 2024
Gavin was a great guide. He was friendly and helped us learn how to drop and reel. I appreciated his chill vibe and sense of humor. He was alert and notified us when we missed the fact that there were bites. For an intro to inshore fishing, 3 hours was a decent amount of time. Half of our fishing crew got sea sick but we caught some nice rockfish and a whitefish to make ceviche. Gavin prepared the fish before we got back to the dock (really great service!). I would definitely book again, but would do a 6 hour charter because going out 6 miles ate into the fishing time (I could have stayed out there till dinner time ^_^). Overall, it was a very memorable trip for us and I’m glad I went thru Brian/Gavin to give my family this cool new experience. I might even consider an offshore charter (Coronados?) in the future. Highly recommend this charter, for the value and service!

5 Hour Inshore Trip (AM) on May 8, 2025
Captain Gavin and First Mate Nick were thorough from even getting on the boat as far as informing me they were on the way grabbing bait fish. Than once one the boat gave my a quick safety lesson on everything. From the minute lines went In the water it was game on. If it was quiet in one area Caot Gavin and no issues looking for another area. Highly recommend them.

3 Hour Trip (12PM) on August 21, 2024
Captain Brian and his crewmate were friendly and professional. The 3 hr tour was just the right length of time for myself and two 13 yr olds. Although we went a few miles out on the ocean, I don’t think Dramamine was required. Just think of it like snowboarding or skiing and let your body roll with boat’s movement rather than try to fight it. The channel out of Mission Bay and the initial entry to the ocean where the currents confluence happens was the most dramatic and it was over in two minutes. Don’t be worried. We caught our limit of red rockfish and enjoyed fish tacos back at the vacation rental that night! Great experience and crew!

5 Hour Inshore Trip (AM) on July 15, 2024
Brian the Captain of the boat was great about responding quickly thru text and answered all my questions. On time super chill and stress free which made us all feel that way. Gavin the other Captain explained everything set everything up and when we were uncertain of something he helped out instantly all in a calm and chill manner. We caught right away and when we didn't Brian took us to another spot instantly where we kept on catching. Fish was prepped for us to take home cook and eat. They let us sit up top with the Captain to enjoy the view and ride! We're genuinely grateful for them! GREAT AWESOME experience probably the best my son and I have had together and the fish was an amazing fresh eat!!! Oh.... and ALL LIVE BAIT!

3 Hour Trip (9AM) on March 22, 2025
We had a great time! We caught and kept 21 Ocean Whitefish. Gavin and his hand were amazing! They kept the lines in the water! They were great with my 7 and 9 year old boys who don’t a ton of experience fishing. We took some of the fish to BlueWater Grill on Coronado Island to be prepared for us, since we were staying in a hotel with no kitchen. Then the rest we froze and flew home with the next day.
