Fish Guardian Charters and have a memorable time on the water with one of San Diego's best fishing charters! Taking pride in customer service, Captain Sam Skinner and his crew will do everything to put you on the fish and provide an enjoyable trip. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just a beginner, they want you to have the best experience while on the water with them.

Depending on the duration of the charter, we can fish for Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail, Mahi Mahi, Rockfish, Spotted Seabass, and Halibut. Feel free to keep your catch if you want to. The captain welcomes kids aboard that are 12 or older.

The captain's 2022 29' Defiance is an offshore sport fishing boat built for luxury, speed, and function. She is equipped with the Seakeeper Ride system making it the smoothest riding pilot house on the West Coast! This system eliminates 80% of roll and bow slap while running at speed. Powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha four-stroke outboards, she can easily cruise at 30 knots getting us to the fishing grounds fast. She is fully equipped with a 110 gal bait tank, state-of-the-art Simrad electronics, and a stereo system.

All charters include the use of rods and reels, tackle, bottled water, live bait, fish iced immediately, cleaned, and bagged. We have spearfishing equipment as well.

A California Fishing License is required for fishing in US Waters and a Passport for the Coronado Islands charters.
