Barbarossa Fishing is a Bay Area fishing charter based out of Santa Cruz, California. Come and enjoy a day in nature as you explore the area’s beautiful and fish-rich nearshore and offshore waters. You’ll have Captain Justin Payton right there to help you and make sure you have a first-rate angling experience, so come aboard and create wonderful memories on the water!

Your trip will start on the ‘Barbarossa’, a 2015 25’ Parker pilothouse boat that can comfortably take 6 guests. It runs on two 150 HP Yamaha engines with a maximum cruising speed of 40 knots, features a flushing toilet, and is equipped with downriggers and a livewell.

You’ll have the chance to fish the local reefs or travel up to Davenport to find large Lingcod. The captain also specializes in catching Salmon, Rockfish, Crab, Halibut, and other species. The techniques you can try out include deep and bottom sea fishing, trolling, and jigging. You can keep all of your catch if you want and you’re free to bring kids on your trip. Salmon fishing is closed for 2023 season.

Captain Justin will provide you with all the rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and lures. You only need to bring fishing licenses and the food and drinks of your choice.

Barbarossa Fishing is waiting for you in Santa Cruz to have a lovely day on the sea!
