Seasick? No Problem!
3 hour Nearshore Trolling on February 14, 20262 adults
Captain Ryan was super awesome and accomodating when my girlfriend, Sarah, started getting seasick from the waves just after the break. He immediately had a backup plan and took us on a really nice daytime cruise all the way to and through Alamitos Bay. Sarah and I enjoyed ourselves despite divulging from the original plan — Cpt. Ryan provided us some snacks, water, and even took some high quality photos for us to remember the day. We’ll definitely be back!

4 Hour Deep Sea Fishing Trip on August 6, 20251 adult1 child
My 10 year old son and I went out with Ryan and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Ryan is very professional, safety conscious, and extremely patient. We caught lots of fish and Ryan was extremely proficient at helping/supporting us with baiting and removal. Overall just a really good experience and morning out on the water with a captain that is focused on providing excellent service and an awesome experience.

2 Hour Inshore Trolling on April 22, 20253 adults
We booked a quick trip out with Ryan and had a great time. We spent the 2 hours trolling and managed to catch a couple fish and learn a lot about the area. If you are looking for a captain that will be patient and helpful, this is your guy. If I'm ever back in the area again I would not hesitate to book him for another charter.
