El Patron is a 50’ Custom Delta Marine luxury sportfishing boat with room for 22 passengers and a toilet on board. Charter rates include unlimited bait.
Please note additional costs:
CA fishing license ($19.00)
Rod rental ($25 per person)
Gunny sacks ($2 each)
Fish fillet service ($1-$5 per fish depending on size)
This amounts to around $55 per person on top of the charter rate.
Check-in is 1 hour prior to the departure time.
Due to unprecedented fuel prices, we’re currently adding fuel surcharges to our trips. This makes it possible to cover operating costs and continue offering our customers a great fishing experience. Surcharges are NOT included in the charter rates listed below and will apply regardless of group size. These vary from trip to trip as follows:
1/2 Day: $200 surcharge
3/4 Day: $280 surcharge
Full Day: $300 surcharge
2 Days: $1,200 surcharge
A 20% gratuity for the crew (captain and 2 deck hands) is customary and much appreciated
