Ready to make your reel scream in Dana Point? RockenReel Sportfishing specializes in Shark fishing and much more. Thrill seekers, get your adrenaline pumping!

Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Yellowtail, Bass, Bonito, Barracuda, Halibut, Shark, and more, could get hooked. The captain will target what you want after advising what is biting. 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!

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!!!

Your crew was awesome. The young men really seemed to enjoy learning new fishing techniques. We nailed those Sand Dabs and they were large for that smaller species- enjoy the tasty fish! See ya this summer my new friend.

Steve took my two boys (12 and 10) out on his larger boat, and it was so much fun. Steve knows all the spots to hit certain fish, and is just so knowledgeable. We caught barracuda, calico bass, mackerel and a Bonita. We just showed up and Steve took care of the rest. He’s also genuinely nice and funny, can’t recommend his enough. If you want to fish out of Dana Point, you shouldn’t look anywhere else.

Captain Noah is amazing. Super friendly and chill. Had a truly perfect afternoon out on the water. The Scarab is a beautiful little boat. He found us an awesome spot with lots of action. Caught bonito and bass. Best time. Will definitely be back.
