Welcome to Mollys Boats.

I’m Molly, a San Francisco native and one of the few female USCG liscensed Captains on the Bay! My wonderful vessel, the ‘Miss Molly’ has a clean warm cabin and a private bathroom.

I go fishing 4-5 days a week,  so this trip is all about you and youre experience. The whole goal is to have fun and enjoy your day with your friends/family.
The cabin is very comfortable. I have a heater and an AC system.
I don’t provide parking or ice. I do fillet your fish and put it in Ziploc bags for transport.
There’s no guarantee in fishing but some of the species we can catch are halibut, stripers, rock cod, ling cod, salmon, sharks, skates, rays and sand dabs.
You’re allowed to enjoy alcoholic beverages on board, but this is not the boat to come and get hammered.
If you have any questions, just drop me a message, I’d love to hear from you.
At the end of the trip it is customary to tip the Deck Hand, 20% of the total cost. A little like a waiter. Bruce and Jr. we’re here an hour before you arrived and they’ll be here for an hour and a half after you leave. Fishing is a lot.
Sea Sick: if you’re prone to getting seasick, take your medication the day before. It doesn’t do you any good to put your patch on in the parking lot.
Coolers:  don’t bring anything huge. If at all possible, I like to leave them on the dock so we have more room in the boat. You can also leave them in your car since I’m going to fillet any fish and put it in a bag for you. I dont scale fish.
CA Fishing license: my website has a link: pro-tip, create an account on the Fish and Wildlife site, then buy the license from the account. The Guest option gets a little confusing. 16 and older should be $20, if you don’t see it, keep scrolling to the bottom.
On Arrival: text me from the gate so I know you’re here.
Boat:  Fully compliant with USCG regulations in addition to having AIS and an EPIRB. Very safe, clean, upholstered and comfortable. Its a good smelling space.

a great day on the water
Gift Voucher for fishing trip on April 22, 20262 adults
It was a little too windy to head out past the Golden Gate, so we tried a few areas in the bay. Captain Molly and Junior turned a slow day on the water into a really good day. Got about a dozen hits, but unfortunately, only one keeper. Very relaxing time and a lot of knowledge shared. Just a very chill atmosphere and experience. 6 hours went by faster than I could ever imagine. Will not hesitate to book with Captain Molly again, looking forward to the salmon season to go out again. Thank you so much Captain Molly and Junior for the wonderful time!!!!!!!!!

Junior her first mate was a wealth of knowledge as well and kept the rods baited and in prime position all trip. can’t recommend Molly’s Boats enough!

Wonderful experience for fun memories
Half day shared on November 30, 20251 adult1 child
Took my 12-year-old daughter out on the Miss Molly for her very first fishing trip, and honestly, it couldn’t have gone better. Capt. Molly and her co-captain Bruce were awesome from the start—super friendly, knew exactly where the fish were, and made the whole experience fun instead of intimidating. What really stood out was how Capt. Molly connected with my daughter. She kept her engaged the entire time, explained things in a way that made sense, and helped her shake off the nerves about being out on the ocean. By the end of the trip, my daughter was smiling ear to ear and reeling in her own catch like a pro. Bruce was great too—always ready to lend a hand or share a tip. Between the two of them, they made us feel comfortable, safe, and excited the whole time. This trip wasn’t just about catching fish (though we did!); it was about creating a memory my daughter and I will never forget. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing adventure, I can’t recommend Miss Molly enough.

Awesome fishing charter with my 12 year old
Half day PM shared on November 24, 20251 adult1 child
We had an incredible day out on the water with Molly Boat, owned and operated by Captain Molly. This was my son’s first real sea fishing trip, and it turned into a truly unforgettable experience. In past attempts he could barely catch anything, but this time was a complete turnaround. We were lucky to have Captain Bruce join us, and together they made the perfect team. Both were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and great with kids. They explained every step clearly and kept the excitement high throughout the trip. My son was thrilled to land his first big catch ever — a leopard shark close to 60 lbs. We went on to catch several more, including three varieties of sharks and even a stingray. The bonus highlight was Captain Bruce’s pet sea lions. We saved some fish heads for them, and watching them respond to his calls and show up for treats was magical. The kids were completely fascinated and probably enjoyed the sea lion moment just as much as the fishing. Overall, an amazing trip and a perfect first sea fishing memory for my son. Highly recommend Captain Molly and Molly Boat if you want a fun, safe, and unforgettable day on the water.

Shark special
Half day shared on November 24, 20251 adult1 child
We had a great/fun/ successful 5 hour charter with Miss Molly and mate Bruce. We caught 10 shark, 3 different types and 1 bat ray. The boat was very comfortable when we needed to get out of the cool air and out of the sun. My grandson had been hoping to catch shark and Molly and Bruce made it happen. Bruce cleaned and fillet our shark and provided bags to put the fillets in until we got to the car where we had our coolers. Molly and Bruce had several stories about fishing locations and the variety of fish that are typically caught during through out the year. Fun trip and well worth it.
