Come aboard Freshbait Sportfishing and enjoy a fun fishing trip in the waters of Southern California. Together with Captain Daron Muratyan, you’ll explore inshore and offshore waters. We offer everything from local half-day trips to full-day offshore excursions. Pick a day and trip that suit you, and get ready for an amazing experience!
You’ll start your trip aboard a spacious Boston Whaler that has recently undergone a complete refit. With top-of-the-line sonar and our Simrad Blackbox sonar, our boat is equipped with some of the best fish-finding technology on the market. Powered by a 300 HP Suzuki engine, the boat also has an impressive range for offshore trips. We are equipped with state-of-the-art tackle, including Shimano reels, Phenix and Seeker rods, kite fishing gear, trolling gear, and more.
All trips include everything you need, such as ice, live bait, flying fish, tackle, rods and reels, beverages, and fish cleaning (except for Bluefin Tuna, for which we can arrange professional processing through a third-party company). We do not charge fuel surcharges or additional fees, so the listed prices are all-inclusive. If you’re looking for something different from what’s offered above, please feel free to reach out to us. We’ll be more than happy to accommodate your needs!

We had an absolutely amazing time on the fishing charter! The captain and mate were incredibly knowledgeable and super helpful throughout the entire trip, making sure we felt comfortable and confident on the water. They guided us to some fantastic fishing spots where we caught several impressive fish, and they shared plenty of tips and tricks to improve our technique. The boat was well-equipped and spotless, with everything we needed for a successful day of fishing. We also enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the relaxing atmosphere out on the open water. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to book another trip with them!
Thank you so much, Milo, for the amazing 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time out on the water with us. It was a pleasure having you aboard, and we’re glad you felt comfortable, learned a few new tricks, and got on some great fish! We truly appreciate your support and kind words. We can’t wait to have you back with us for another unforgettable day of fishing! — Captain Daron
I just have one of the best days of my life. Mother Nature is fickle, so we went with no unreasonable expectations, but I'll tell you what, if there are big ones out there, these guys will find them, and they will get you on them. We caught so much fish that we literally had to stop because we ran out of ice and room to put fish. If you want fish, big fish charter these guys. Thank you Daron and Parker for the best fishing I have ever done.
Thank you
The captain and boat are a one of a kind experience. I will be coming back and would recommend him to anyone,
Thank you so much!

It was an awesome fishing trip with Freshbait Charters and their crew! They’re super nice guys and definitely know all the good fishing spots. It was our first time out, and two of us got pretty seasick, but the crew still managed to help everyone reach their catch limit easily. The rest of us who weren’t seasick had an amazing time—the fishing process was simple, relaxing, and really fun. The crew took care of everything, like baiting our hooks and unhooking our catches. Absolutely loved this experience! Highly recommend these guys and can’t wait to go back out with them again soon!
