Come aboard the high-performance 34’ Scarab, which offers high-quality standards and top-notch features. If you want a top-of-the-line fishing boat, the Wellcraft Scarab is what you’re looking for. This go-fast fishing machine will chase and mow down Mako / Thresher Sharks, Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna, Mahi-Mahi or Dorado, Yellowtail and more.
The Scarab seats 8 people. The vessel provides a party of 6 with the necessary space, but a party of four is optimal. Poles, bait, lures, gas, and great times will all be provided. All you need to bring is your fishing license, and good luck!
RockenReel Sportfishing is owned and operated by Captain Steve Locken and his wife, Christine. They strive for excellence and are proud of their reputation. The WELLCRAFT SCARAB is in Dana Point, where the fishing grounds are excellent, and it’s a 5-minute ride in-out of the harbor, meaning more fishing time for you!
Your 5 STAR CAPTAIN IS A professional that has proven to be the very best in class. A 20% tip is customary to show your appreciation.
DANA POINT HARBOR gets you out of the harbor in ONLY 5 MINUTES WHERE OTHER HARBORS TAKE 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR- MORE FISHING TIME! THE 55 MPH SCARAB GETS TO THE FISH WHEN THEY ARE SPOTTED BEFORE THEY GO BACK DOWN / COVERS MORE WATER.
The performance ride on this Scarab is worth the trip alone. Keep your eyes peeled for whales, dolphins, sea lions, seals, and other wildlife. Great for all ages and all levels of fishing. Thank you for considering RockenReel Sportfishing, where we always aim high. Fish On!

3 HOUR 8am-11am FISH/SHARK COMBO
August fishing trip
Great fishing trip…. Last minute booking with for me and my 12 yr old son, 3 hour trip was a good amount of time. We caught a barracuda, literally on the first cast, and Noah, the captain, said ‘It doesn’t always happen like this!’ We caught 10-12 juvi barracuda, great fun, and a few calico bass, a sand bass, and one mackerel. Noah kept us engaged, and always baited out hooks quickly- even though we are pretty capable, and didn’t really need the personal attention. Easy access, in-shore was close and the fish were biting! Noah has a good personality and was great with my son. I already recommended them in the line at Heritage BBQ after our trip.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE!
A friend and I booked a fishing trip with Captain Noah, and had the time of our lives! We caught Calico and white Sea Bass, saw a large pod of dolphins, a whale and lots of seals sunning on the rocks. It was amazing! Thank you to Captains Noah & Steve for making our trip so memorable!

Awesome Day with the Family
The whole process what easy. The communication was great from Steve and Noah the captain of the boat. They made Mother’s Day the beast for my wife. Caught a couple of small fish but the excitement and experience was great for the kids and wife. We encountered a huge pod of dolphins when heading out to find a shark to catch. That was just a huge bonus for us. Would definitely rebook this trip for the family again!!!
