Dana Wharf Sportfishing – Current
The stated goal of Dana Wharf Sportfishing is to provide a unique experience to locals and visitors alike while showing all the wonders of the Orange County coastline. The crew is made up of local professionals that will make sure the trip is tailored to your particular needs and wants.
You’ll be fishing on the Current, a 53’ Hatteras that’s powered by a pair of 1400 HP Detroit engines. The boat boasts a spacious and comfortable interior, to ensure you have a fun and relaxing trip. It contains a full array of safety gear and navigation electronics so you can just lay back and enjoy the fishing.
Dana Point is one of the nicest areas to be fishing in when it comes to this part of California. Species like Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, Calico Bass, Halibut, and Rockfish are all waiting for you to come along. The waters are also home to a variety of wildlife for you to see - whales, dolphins, harbor seals, and California sea lions.
Rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price of a trip, along with complimentary snacks and drinks. The crew will clean and fillet the catch for your convenience once the trip is over. Bring a pair of polarized sunglasses, and get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime!

Captain Brandon and Korbin were great, we had a fun day and they were very helpful to put us right on the fish. Memorable day on the water celebrating my brothers birthday, we’ll be back! Thank you!

Great Day!
Catching fish is always a challenge, we didn't have much luck, caught two, but the captain/crew worked REALLY hard to try to make it a good experience for my grandsons. We moved often to find best spots, equipment was excellent, fishing finding equipment was top notch. They were VERY helpful with the 10 & 14 yr old. Although we didn't have a lot of luck, I will book them again next year, Beautiful boat!

The half day trip was a blast, this is the first time for my siblings, nephews, and myself to do this. We did a half day to try it out and it was a fun experience for all of us and had a great time. For our next trip we will be doing a full day. This was to get our feet wet and see how it turned out. Overall experience was excellent, doing the private charter is honestly the way to go. No crowded boats just your party of six the captain and his first mate. Something private and not basket weaving the whole time. At the end of the day it's worth it and honestly, I would recommend it every time.

Even though other boats were coming in due to the wind our Captain Brandon pushed on and it ended up being great, put us on some fish and it was a great day. Going out on the full day next
