Guardian Charters
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.

Captain Andy and his crew were truly experts in their field and provided a great private tour for my friends and me. Most of us varied in skill level but they were extremely helpful. We enjoyed some deep sea areas and bay fishing and picked up a large bounty of amazing fish. All were filleted and packaged up for us to take home and freeze to eat for the next few weeks. I may think about coming back this summer to try my luck at catching an elusive blue fin tuna… yellow tail is just as good too. Highly recommend this tour.
I’m a local thats fished my adult life in San Diego. Brought my friends from the midwest for their first time ocean fishing. Great communication from Sam to start with. the Islands blew out with the storm, he called and said offshore wouod be better. Got to the dock, easy instructions. Clean boat/good equipment. Sam and his deckhand Kai worked tgeir tails off the whole day. put us on the fish three times. My buddy caught his first bluefin ever. Hooked up a 120lb bluefin that kicked out butt for 3 hours. Sam worked that whole three hours maneuvering the boat, putting us in the best possible position to land the fish. I will 100% be booking with Sam again. Great boat, even better crew, positive attitudes. Thabk you Sam and Kai
Sam and Kai are awesome, they worked hard to get us on the fish and were patient with our inexperienced anglers. This is my second time on the water with them, I’ve also gone on large boats and there is just no comparison with the level of attention, flexibility, and fun we had on the water. They make it feel like you're out fishing with friends and you can tell they themselves really want you to land the fish, they go above and beyond to get you the fish. I’m excited to go on another charter with San and Kai, I highly recommend them.
My son and I did a charter to the coronado islands with Captain Sam. He and has deck hand, Kai, were both great. We caught a bunch of fish - rock fish, calico bass, white fish, and two yellow tail. Sam waa great with my son, answering every question and sharing tip and stories. Felt like we were spending the day wit friends. Would higy recommend!!
Great day with Sam and Kai, but the bluefin weren’t cooperating despite schools of tuna, bait balls, dolphins, and whales all day. Still, managed to land a 25lb bluefin! Will be back, these guys were relentless to get us in the fish, stayed longer just trying to get that next bendo. Clean and comfortable boat too!
