I have been on dozens of fishing charters and this one has been without a doubt one of the best. We had 4 adults and two teens with various experience on the water and fishing. First the Crew is top notch, local, super friendly and hard working with a smile. I communicated that our goal was to have fun and catch fish (not necessarily going after yellow fin, etc), and boy did we catch a lot of rock fish. My son caught 36 in about 2.5 hours. Second the boat is great and super comfortable. We were going out in late November.. while we had perfect weather, if we hadn’t… the inside is spacious to wean up or avoid rain.. etc. The cost may be a few $100 more than other charters out of Marina Del Ray, but in my opinion well worth it. Thanks again crew for making memories and be the highlight of our TG weekend. The Kadlec Family
The yacht was as pictured, beautiful. Those onboard were made to feel welcome and comfortable. No one on board wanted for anything from drinks to food to the killer fishing. Fish, dolphins and seals were plentiful. Took home a large amount of filleted fish. Top notch service, Brandon and Nate are highly recommended. Will be back in the future. Incredible experience.
Thanks so much for sharing. We are glad to have served you well.
the crew was amazing and super professional 10 out of 10 with out a doubt already planing are next trip
We had a blast! Brandon and Nick were awesome! We caught a lot of fish! The boat was beautiful ! We will do this trip again for sure.
Crew was super attentive plus they took the boat over to where we got to see dolphins swim and jump right next to the boat.
Thanks Bridgette, Glad you had such a good time with the added attraction of the Dolphin.

I started fishing at 3 years old with my father and grandfather. That was 68 years ago. I have fished for the best part of those years. I've fished competitively as well as league participation and have always prided myself in leading as opposed to following. We have developed many unique techniques on the ocean, replacing many of the old standards to create a more effective and interesting outing for our guests as well as ourselves.
