4.8/5 (42 reviews)
 Harbor Island Drive, San Diego, CA 92101, United States

Get ready for the trip of a lifetime with Pacific Bluefin Sportfishing! Spend a morning fishing the bays for Calico Bass and Rockfish, or head out on a two-day offshore extravaganza in search of monster Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna, Blue and Striped Marlin, and more.

Captain Mike works alongside his son, Captain Reeve Koesterer, as well as experienced crew member and friend, Andy – it’s safe to say that this charter is a true family business! Together, they make the perfect team, and combine their individual years of experience and top angling know–how to provide a huge variety of first-class fishing adventures to guests of all ages and abilities.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 46’ Pacific Bluefin sportfishing machine. Completely overhauled in 2015, this luxury vessel boasts everything you could ask for on a world-class cruiser. Her air-conditioned interior features large cabins, a full bathroom, well-equipped galley, and a comfortable salon with plenty of space to relax after hard-fought battles above. Up on deck, you will find a large flybridge to take in the view from the harbor.

The vessel is rigged to the gills with the latest technology and equipment to get you on the best fish out there. GPS and fishfinder will sound out the deep, and outriggers and downriggers will maximize your fishing potential. Tournament-grade fishing tackle at a variety of test strengths will help you hook your dream catch, as well as a choice of fresh live bait and specialized lures.

If you want to get more hands-on, Captain Mike can arrange a spearfishing guide to join you on your trip, teaching you to use the equipment safely and training you in and out of the water to make sure you hit your target.

All trips come with tackle, bait, and Mexican visas (where applicable). On longer trips you’ll be well taken care of, with delicious meals and plenty of drinks provided. This is some serious bucket list fishing, so get down to San Diego and climb aboard for a trip you will never forget!
