Warrior Poet Sportfishing
Warrior Poet Sportfishing
Warrior Poet Sportfishing invites you to experience first-class fishing in San Francisco, California. The charter is based out of the historic Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco and offers half day trips in the morning and the afternoon, as well full day trips. Captain David King has been fishing the local waters for over 25 years and knows the best fishing spots.
Fishing in San Francisco is excellent for Rockfish, Sturgeon, Striped Bass, Salmon, Shark, Dungeness Crab, Lingcod, Halibut, Skate, Ray, and lots more species. Depending on the time of the year you go out, you will target seasonal fish using a variety of techniques such as light or heavy tackle, bottom fishing, jigging, trolling, or drift fishing.
Captain David operates a 34' well-appointed Pelican Bay Boatworks commercial boat originally built in 1988. It is powered by new twin 225 HP Volvo D4 engines, with a maximum cruising speed of 20 knots. This boat is excellent for fishing trips inside and outside of the Golden Gate Bridge featuring a GPS and a fishfinder, an ice-box, a livewell, all the safety gear, and a toilet, which is a huge plus if you are taking the whole family out.
Warrior Poet Sportfishing provides full tackle with Avet reels and custom rods from Mac's Rods. They also include lures, live baits, snacks, and drinks on all trips. Once you return to the marina, you will have a complimentary fish cleaning and filleting, so bring a cooler in order to transport it home or to a nearby restaurant to be cooked for you.
You'll need to purchase a fishing license before the day, and you can buy them on the official California Department of Fish and Wildlife website. Don't forget the Sturgeon Report Card if you'd like to be able to retain White Sturgeon!
If you are looking for a fun day on the water fishing for delicious fish species and enjoying epic views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco, Warrior Poet is an excellent choice for you and your family!

We had an absolutely fantastic fishing trip and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Captain Neil was incredibly knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us. Thanks to his expertise, we caught an amazing variety of fish including halibut, striped bass, rockfish, leopard sharks, a seven-gill shark, and brown sharks! Bradley, the deckhand, was outstanding. He was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. He especially connected well with our teenager, which made the trip even more enjoyable. What really stood out was how wonderful both Neil and Bradley were with our two boys. They were patient, encouraging, and made the entire experience fun and memorable for our family. Their passion for fishing and dedication to their guests truly showed throughout the day. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, we highly recommend this company. We will definitely be booking another trip in the future with Warrior Poet.
Annual fishing trip for my husband & this time with the kids, was awesome! they emjoyed all the catch fish & sharks & even feeding the seagulls mid air! captain David awesome as always & Neil as well! Lots of stories to tell! made it super fun! we ended up with 7 striped bass. caught 4 sharks but realeased also, Cap David is such a solidary captian whem others need his help. Will comtinue to book with Warrior Poet! cant wait for crab catching
What an incredible day on the water with Warrior Poet Sportfishing Charter! We booked the full day trip and absolutely crushed it — limiting out on both striper and rockfish! Even caught a legal size rare cabezon The fishing was phenomenal, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the crew. Captain David was top notch from start to finish — knowledgeable, hardworking, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone had an amazing time. Deckhand Neil was outstanding as well, always helping, keeping lines ready, and making the whole trip smooth and fun. And honorary deckhand Susan was absolutely awesome and brought such a great energy to the boat! The entire crew treated us like a couple of old friends out fishing together rather than just customers. The atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and an absolute blast all day long. You can tell they genuinely care about giving people a memorable experience. If you’re looking for an amazing fishing charter with an outstanding crew, Warrior Poet Sportfishing Charter is the one to book. We’ll definitely be back!!!
We had Mr. Neil as our captian. After couple days of heavy rain none of us is expecting too much, but we end up catching 4 striped bass (released one) and a starry flounder (released)! This result is impossible without the captian’s profound experience on fishing, and the trip is so fun and way beyond my expectations. In addition, captian Neil taught us so much from shipping equipment to how to predict fish activities, tides and the bay area environment, also how to cast, lure, and clean the fish. He’s very hospitable and very attentive which makes this trip not only engaging, but also highly educative. We’re definitely looking forward to booking our next trip with them!
Dad and I had an amazing experience! We caught: leopard sharks, brown sharks, halibut, striped bass, and manta rays. The captain and crew were amazing and very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and hilarious. Felt like we had known them for years, would definitely recommend! We had a full day, and couldn’t have been happier. My only recommendation for others is don’t forget your sunscreen like I did ;).
