Half Day Trip - San Francisco Bay on October 3, 2026 • 4 adultsWe came to San Fran for the broncos 49ers game this coming Sunday. We decided we wanted to fish while we were on vacation. I came across Captain Craigs listing and it did not disappoint! We had an amazing time and caught so many fish! Captain and crew were very knowledgeable and helpful the entire trip. Currently cooking the fish we caught this morning for dinner tonight! Highly recommend this trip!!

Half Day Trip - Private Charter on October 11, 2026 • 6 adultsFirst time fishing on a boat and caught 33 rockfish with Craig and Jake. Craig navigated to spots where the fish were biting while Jake prepped the rods and bait for us. Highly recommend this team. Could not have imagined an easier, better experience for beginners.
Susie Ortiz5.0VerifiedBEST fishing excursion EVER!
Half Day Trip - San Francisco Bay on May 30, 2026 • 5 adultsIf you’re looking for the ultimate day on the water, book a fishing charter on the SF Bay! 🐟 Our captain Craig knew exactly where the fish were hiding, and the crew was incredibly patient, informative, and helpful the entire time. We caught a ton of beautiful striped bass and had a blast watching the seals pop their heads up around the boat. A 10/10 experience! I highly recommend this trip to everyone!
Rick Templeton5.0VerifiedGreat trip
Full Day Trip on June 5, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain tried to find the fish, and we caught around 6 halibut, but they were all just under the minimum size limit. Great day on the water, and we did keep 3 stripped bass. Great time was had by all. I was cold, so dress warm.
Monica Crowder5.0VerifiedNewI have been fishing for 60 years and this was one of the best fishing trips ever!
Full Day Salmon on September 11, 2026 • 4 adultsThe captain and the crew were very knowledgeable and so nice. They helped keep the lines straight and the boat steady while we reeled in the salmon. Great experience!
Ruben Villegas5.0VerifiedAmazing Trip!

HI Jorge, Thank you for coming aboard the Argo. You and your family were on it from the beginning, Ashley was especially on hot! Craig

Hi Queenie, Thank you very much for bringing your family aboard. It was a long day and everyone really hung in there to make it a success, Thanks, Craig
Capt Craig was very personable, took the time to level-set expectations and then did his absolute best to exceed them. We were given perfect instructions on how to catch our fish and they were great about finding the perfect spots that generated a lot of bites and action.
Hi David and Kristi, So glad you enjoyed the day! ...and never hurts to get lucky. Hope you enjoyed the rockfish and lingcod. Craig
