Highly recommended

Half Day Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on June 21, 2024 • 6 adults

Every where we travel we go fishing. We have a 23 foot boat at home and fish all the time for salmon, halibut, rock fish and stripers in the San Francisco Bay and in the ocean. I booked the Sensei with Captain Piava. I have teenage children and they need a lot of action when it comes to fishing. I asked for rock fishing and boy did Captain Piavo deliver. The boat is huge, luxurious and well maintained. Seven of us sat on the fly bridge and were served drinks and snacks while we watched dolphins and toured around a nature reserve island. Then we bottom fishing and the action was fast and furious. We keep a few for the barbecue. Captain Piavo is an educated gentleman and fun and interesting to converse with. His first mate was great. I highly recommend them. They are family friendly and flexible. We will be back when the kids are older for big game the next time! Thank you Captain Piava !

Must do!

Half Day Trip – Bottom Fishing (PM) on August 30, 2022 • 2 adults

Our family of 7 adults had a wonderful morning on the Sensei. We were able to get up close with pods of dolphins that were swimming alongside the boat and everyone in the family caught a fish. The crew were great and even gave us a bit of time to swim off the boat. Lots of smiles all around :)

Half day trawling with Diogo and Bernardo

Half Day – Coastal Trolling (AM) on June 19, 2022 • 6 adults

We had a great time on sensei with the lads. The weather was a bit windy but Diogo communicated that with us well beforehand. We were lucky enough to catch some barracuda for dinner, the boat was beautiful and Diogo showed us some dolphins and local islands. Would highly recommend. Obrigado!
