We had the best time! 10/10
6 Hour – Lingcod/Rockfish Shared on August 21, 20261 adult1 child

Capt Del was great! My son and I had so much fun. We caught fish, crab, lots of laughs, and overall had the best experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better time for my son’s first charter. From getting on the boat, catching fish, taking photos, pulling pots, the fillet process, and hanging with Capt. Del…. we had the best time. Fully recommend 10/10. And Capt. Del knows his stuff- it’s obvious. We will be back! Rippin’ Lips!!!

Captain Del made my grandsons week!
Tuna starting August 1st (Shared) on July 30, 20262 adults

I and my grandson only get to see each other 1 or 2 times a year due to the miles between us. I wanted this summer trip this year to be extra special as I am aware 9 & 10 year old boys really don’t want to hang with Grandma, so we booked this deep sea fishing trip. Del was fun, professional, safe and helpful in every aspect of this adventure. He was patient and encouraging with me (I am not a fisherman) and my grandson. We were educated with the temperatures of the water and feeding habits of Tuna, and much more while hauling in 24 keepers! His call home while we were leaving the doc was so fun to listen to him repeat stories of what happened during our time out in the Pacific. I’m not sure, but we might be doing this again.

What an amazing day! Captain Del is the best!
8 Hour – Halibut Shared on June 21, 20262 adults

This was me and my bf’s first time out on the open seas and captain Del made it such an amazing experience! From the moment we stepped on the boat he was patient, encouraging, hilarious and worked hard to make sure that we had an unforgettable time. The fishing trip of a lifetime! We caught enough halibut to feed us, our families, and friends for the rest of the summer! We don’t know where we’re going to store it. Our freezers aren’t big enough. 🤣 Needless to say, we had an amazing time and we are planning on coming back in the fall to do some salmon fishing with Captain Del! 10 out of 10 experience!

6 Hour – Lingcod/Rockfish Shared on August 10, 20262 adults

Captain Del was awesome! We started out with rockfish and quickly caught our limit. Then we caught a limit of crab. Our trip finished with a limit of salmon. Captin Del made sure we were on fish and having a great time the entire trip. He also pointed out whales while on out way to fish for salmon. I highly recommend Just Rippin Lips!
