You’ll be fishing aboard a fully rigged 39’ Contender Fisharound, built for performance, comfort, and serious fishing.

We keep it simple—just bring your fishing license, food and drinks. Everything else is covered: top-tier tackle, ice, live bait & dead bait, gear and instruction.

A professional First Mate is onboard to ensure a smooth, productive trip.
Customary crew gratuity is 10–20%.

Before You Go - fishing licenses are required (U.S., Mexico, or both depending on trip). Some species may have seasonal regulations or tags. We’re happy to guide you on what you’ll need.

What to Bring - layers (it can get cold offshore), sunscreen & sunglasses, food and drinks. Alcohol is fine in moderation—just no hard liquor or glass bottles.

Pro tip: Dana Landing Market is right by the boat—grab everything you need on the way.

You could keep reading, but wouldn’t you rather be out there, bent rods, screaming drags, and foamers on the horizon?
