    8 Hour Trip – Combo on August 22, 2026 • 5 adults

    From the moment we got on the boat, it was nothing but a professional experience, and when we got on the water it was proven. And I could not say more about the attitude and the morale of the captain and keeping everybody involved and having fun was an exceptional trip. And would recommend it to anyone, even first timers.

    Crabbing

    8 Hour Trip – BUOY 10 Salmon on October 30, 2021 • 2 adults

    We had the best time with Captain Bill! He was fun and funny! We caught some delicious crab. The whole experience was fun. The boat was a great size and we had all the proper gear, safety gear. We got drenched due to the windy turbulent waters but were prepared with rain gear. I highly recommend this experience with Capt Bill!

    We had a great time. Hottest day of the year and only 2 boats caught fish. We were one of them. Mike is very knowledgeable on all species and locations, and fun to be around. I took my sons and would go back when out west again. Once in a life time, No Bananas! Thanks Mike
