Captain Sean and his deckhand, William, were absolutely outstanding. They put us on fish the entire day and were incredibly patient and helpful throughout the trip. Both are highly personable and great to talk to. I have fished with many charter captains, and it’s the crew members who have a genuine passion for what they do, and who care deeply about creating a memorable experience, that make all the difference. That is exactly what you get here. Moving forward, whenever I have the time and money, I’ll be spending it with Capt. Sean. Highly recommend!

Stepped on a nice Admiral Guadalupe to a friendly crew and two set of rods set up for halibut and Stripers. Captain got us underway quickly and picked up a good amount of live bait and took us to the bass ground anchored up and had us limited off bass by the time the sun was just rising above the fog. Quickly moved to fishing in the bay and I was lucky enough to connect with a nice halibut within minutes. After that it was a grind through sharks and then the bite turned hot. (3) fish to fill limits and they were chewing as we were reeling up. Captain got us headed back while deck cleaned boat kept fish on ice, bled and rinsed throughout the day. Deckhand William did a great job cleaning our fish. Captain and crew respected the fish and treated us like friends. Everything you're looking for in a Charter.

I fish with a lot of professional guides (e.g., 9 different guides last year and 10 already this year) all over the country, both freshwater and saltwater. I nearly always catch a bunch of fish, and this trip was no exception. We fished in San Francisco Bay and targeted California halibut, a species I’d never caught before (or even seen). I caught a bunch of smaller halibut and then had to quit with my limit of two beautiful keepers, an 8-pounder and a 12-pounder. Captain Sean Stafford and his mate William were excellent. Sean offers a wide range of fish-target trips, depending on the season and the demand. I would gladly go on any fishing trip with Sean.

Captain Sean and Deck-Hand Will are very experienced and know what the are doing with both boat safety and fishing! They make the experience very personalized to give you the BEST experience possible!

We caught fish despite a bad tide and a rough SF bay. The crew persisted and my son caught halibut, but was 3/4" too small, and limited out on two nice stripers. This trip is best for all ages. My son is 13 and he was on the boat with a couple. He had a great time. "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in SF", bring a heavy jacket with a hood. Yes, even in summer.
