The Greatest Experience Ever!!!
6 Hour Trip – Local Fishing on April 4, 20262 adults

Absolutely incredible experience. 100/10, no question. I went in not really knowing what to expect, and it completely exceeded every expectation I had. Harry and Alec were so knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely kind the entire time. You can tell they really care about what they do and about making sure everyone has an amazing time. I learned so much and had an unforgettable day out on the water. I would recommend this to anyone without hesitation — already can’t wait to go back!

Incredible Experience!
6 hour Lobster Hoopnetting on January 3, 20263 adults

This was honestly one of the best experiences I've had. We didn't know what to expect since it was our first time, but Captain Harry and his team, Alec and Pat, knew exactly where to go and what to do. They were professional, kind, knowledgeable, made sure we were all comfortable and safe, and were the absolute best hype crew. Even though the evening was cold and wet, they made it super fun and memorable. Not only did everyone in our group hit the limit of 7 spiny lobsters per person and were able to take home a total of 21 lobsters, but there were also hitchhiking spider and rock crabs that we took home too, AND we got back to the docks before 10pm. We expected to be out there until midnight, but it was an amazing haul. We were pulling lobsters out of the hoops nonstop. I know we won't score like that every time, that's the beauty of this sport, but I will absolutely do this again with Captain Harry and recommend him to anyone else who wants to give lobster hooping a try! I've got friends and family who are super jealous and asking when I'm going again, so they can tag along. Definitely recommend bringing a bit of food and something hot to drink since it can get chilly. Bundle up in layers and wear nonslip shoes too. The boat was clean and had a toilet, soap, and a sink to wash up. I'm glad the crew consistently kept the boat clean throughout the trip, and we didn't have to worry about stepping in bait or other ocean debris around the deck or into the cabin. We didn't know what we'd catch, but we brought a cooler anyway, and thankfully, we did. So I'd recommend bringing something to store your catch. If you end up catching a bunch of stuff, you’ll have a cooler in your car ready to go. Long story short, I’ll do this again. 10/10 recommend!

Over 50 Calico Bass – Best Fishing Trip Ever!
6 Hour Trip – Local Fishing on August 31, 20254 adults

We went out with Captain Harry and Alec on 8/31/25 and had an unforgettable fishing trip. From the moment we stepped on board, they were welcoming, friendly, and professional. They knew exactly where to go — those “secret spots” really paid off — and we ended up catching over 50 calico bass! What stood out even more was how attentive and knowledgeable they were, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves throughout the day. It was the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. Couldn’t be happier with the experience and the memories we made. I’ll definitely be booking with their charter again in the future, and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a great day on the water.

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Capt. Harry's father got him into the sport at the age of three. He was amazed how a three-year-old kid would sit patiently and wait for a bite. That's when he said, 'He's got it'. Since then, Capt. Harry was hooked and that passion and dedication to learn and grow has never ended.He became a pinhead and then a deckhand on the boats up north learning different techniques and cutting fish as well as absorbing how to be a good captain like his mentors. With over 22 years of experience and knowledge you are assured to have the best guide by your side . Customer service is key on his boat. The captain wants you to have a great time and to catch fish! He's sponsored by Okuma to provide all your gear. He'll also tie and supply all your tackle and bait so all you have to bring is food and warm clothes. Capt. Harry started a cooking and fishing show called Boat Burgers in 2019 showing the world California's fishery and amazing food on the water. They recently upgraded their boat adding more comfort and speed on their list with a 35' innovator sportfisher yacht .
