Blue Horizon Sportfishing offers a unique experience and multiple angling options to choose from. Their mission is to make your trip memorable. Captain Jim will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing.
He specializes in light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning. You have different trips at your disposal to go after Rockfish, Yellowtail Amberjack, Dolphin, Tuna, Calico Bass, and Bonito. Be it a half day or 12-hour pursuit, you'll sure land something!
Your boat for the day will be a 55' Hoquim Shipyard that fits up to 22 anglers. It comes with a toilet and an ice box for keeping your catch cool. There's no dilemma - the boat is spacious and comfortable for long fishing hours!
You're welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip. Be advised that rods, reels, and terminal tackle are not included in the trip price. And please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time.
For any questions or assistance, you can also consult with the first mate and the rest of the crew while on the boat. Tips for good service are always appreciated. They're really good with kids, so you can bring them, too.

Great day on the water
3/4 Day Trip – Coastal on February 28, 2026 • 2 adults
The Captain and Crew were friendly and courteous, helpful to all the new anglers, the vessel was clean and well stocked gally did not let us down because we were a hungry and very thirsty group, we caught a variety of different species from Sculpin, white fish, halibut, even a Mako and Thrasher shark that breached the surface during the fight, overall it was an excellent experience and we will definitely book again and recommend.

Great Crew and Experience
6 Hour Trip – 6 People Special on October 26, 2025 • 9 adults
My group of 9 went on a half day (6 hour) deep fishing trip with the Blue Horizon Sportfishing crew and everything was fantastic! The crew (Ian, Brent, and Jim) were very knowledgeable and accommodating. We were new to fishing and they guided us through everything from how the equipment worked to how to bait the rods. Overall, we caught around 40 fishes (hake, rockfish, and sand dab) and had great experience. I would highly recommend Blue Horizon Sportsfishing to anyone interested in experiencing ocean fishing for the first time.

6 Hour Trip – 6 People Special on June 24, 2025 • 7 adults
In general - you WILL catch fish. Great food and coffee. The captain and crew. We’re very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed.
Captain Matt: if bites began to dry up he moved us and continued on.
Brett: one heck of a fisherman and can really throw down on the grill.
Ian: heck of an angler, quick hands with getting fish and filleting them for us.
