Your private charter begins in Oceanside Harbor, where Captain Greg and his First Mate welcome you aboard a beautifully maintained 38-foot Bertram. With space for up to 6 guests, the vessel features outriggers, a large live bait tank, an enclosed flybridge, and a private head-combining modern amenities with the charm of a classic California fishing experience.

As you head offshore, you'll explore waters known for an impressive variety of species. Halibut glide along the sandy bottom, vibrant red rock fish add a splash of color, and sheepshead, calico bass, bonito, and lingcod keep the action lively. During the right seasons, yellowtail, skipjack, mahi-mahi, and tuna make their appearance, offering exciting opportunities for memorable catches. All gear is provided, including rods, tackle, and live bait, and the crew is always ready to assist. Families are warmly welcomed, and child-sized life vests are available on board.

Before departing, guests aged 16 and older will need a CA fishing license. The 1-day license is just $21.09 and can be purchased though the official CDFW website, which offers a convenient digital option. For comfort, bring sunglasses, a hat, nom-spray sunscreen, and a jacket or sweatshirt. Complimentary cold water, sodas, coffee, and packaged light snacks are available. You're welcome to bring your own food or a small cooler. Alcohol is permitted-but, please, no glass.

Once underway, the vibe is relaxed and unhurried. Enjoy the sun, the ocean breeze, and the excitement that comes with each bite on the line. With a private charter limited to six guests, you'll have ample room to move, unwind, and take in the coastal scenery without crowds or distractions. For those seeking a comfortable, memorable, and truly So-Cal day on the water, this Oceanside charter offers an exceptional experience from start to finish.

Greg and Ryan (aka Hop) are the GOAT’s
6 HOUR TRIP (AM) on July 3, 20266 adults

We caught so many fish! These guys knew where all of the fish were … we would have our lines down in each place for … not long at all and then just started realin’ them in. Both Greg and “Hop” were very kind and patient with us. Some in our party, never fished before and they were excellent about teaching and communicating in a way, easy to understand. We were thankful to be out with them and would do it again. Thanks guys!

Reported catch:
Rockfish
Thresher Shark

4 Hour Fishing Trip
4 HOUR TRIP (AM) on April 3, 20262 adults1 child

Entire crew was very knowledgeable and had tons of experience. Captain made sure we kept moving in order to guarantee good catches and gave us some extra time. Saw some bonus sea lions, dolphins, and a whale surfacing. Lots of snacks and drinks available and a nice cozy couch in case your stomach starts yearning for solid ground. Our only regret is not booking more time.

Reported catch:
Rockfish

No pelagic but still a great trip!
8 HOUR OFFSHORE on August 31, 20254 adults

Not the day we hoped for but still a great one. We opted for offshore, which is never guaranteed. Captain Greg and his crew worked hard to put us on fish, but we just couldn't land any. A couple whales and dozens if not hundreds of dolphins kept us entertained. He let us extend the day to give us a better chance then took us inshore and extended the trip longer until we reeled in a couple bass and nearly a nice halibut too (sucker bit the line as we were pulling it into the boat). A good time even without reeling a pelagic!

I've been fishing off the coast of So Cal for more than 25 years, and have been an O'side local for 15 years. Holder of my 50 ton USCG Captain's License. I have been fishing since childhood, and I love all of it. Watching others catch fish and catch that stoke is the best part. My crew/team are Oceanside locals, and have been fishing these waters all their lives. Wishes for Fishes!
