Hello,
Welcome to Mollys Boats.

I’m a San Francisco native and one of the few female USCG liscensed Captains on the Bay! My wonderful vessel, the ‘Miss Molly’ is a Shamrock Mackinaw 270 with a private bathroom.

She is fully equipped with all Coast Guard, safety equipment, and electronics. I have all the poles and bait you need. I will adjust the charter to your needs whether you’re an experienced angler or a novice-all are welcome. Just show up with shoes that can get wet, you’ll be fine.

Running this charter boat business is a dream of mine. I’m thrilled It’s come true.  I’d love to share it with you. Lets go catch some fish.

If you ever want to do a part fishing and part bay tour, I’m also available for that. I know sometimes families don’t all want to fish. I can accomadate.
The cabin is very comfortable. I have a heater and an AC system.

I don’t provide parking or ice. A frozen water bottle is great. You don’t need to go to great lengths, but you bring something to transport the fish from my boat to your frying pan.
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. We will filet everything for you and put it in Ziploc bags. You’re allowed to enjoy alcoholic beverages on board, but this is not the place 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 restaurant.

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!!!!!!!!!

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.

I can’t say enough / definite repeat w/ Molly
Half day shared on November 15, 20252 adults
Simply put - I’ve been fishing for 35 years. This was, hands down, the best fishing trip I’ve had ever. Captain Molly was absolutely fabulous - from communication to execution. We caught 14 shark in 4 hours (I think we were exceptionally lucky), she supplies snacks and drinks, and makes the entire experience an absolute hoot. Unquestionably, we’re now sold on Captain Molly and plan to fish with her on a regular basis. 100% recommended. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!
