Overall, our trip was fun, but it started off completely wrong. I booked with Captain Brian and his boat the Apex, but instead Captain Galvin showed up with a boat 3 or 4 feet smaller than what I anticipated. I purposefully chose the larger boat (and paid extra for it) because my spouse gets seasick. Needless to say, my spouse was sick the entire time. Not only that, Captain Galvin is a smoker, so we had to endure smelling his cigarette smoke (which we despise) the entire duration. Nonetheless, his mate was great with us novice fisherwomen - although he did snap at my friend and me for “doing it wrong” a couple of times. But, like I said, we did have a good time. I just wish we would’ve gotten Captain Brian because he’s the one I chose after reading all the wonderful reviews about him. Oh, and trust me, deepsea fishing is not for the weak! It was workout reeling those fish in!!

Captain Gavin and Nick were great.  Easy to understand instructions and very friendly, even for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers.  We had a great time for our first time fishing like this.  We caught many rockfish, some barracuda, and a calico bass.  If we come back to San Diego, we woud definitely book this trip again (and maybe longer than 5 hours).  We saw sea lions and a few dolphins.  Awesome trip!!  Thanks guys!!

Crew made sure we got a good trip! They moved until we caught larger fish and made a great experience for us. Eash to talk to and allowed us to have the experience ourselves and only stepped in when needed. Thanks guys! We’ll be back!

We limited on vermillion rock fish and caught several white fish and a small a barracuda. Captain Gavin and Josh were top notch and we had a great time. would highly recommend Fishing Charters of San Diego

if you like fishing Brian and Josh are the guys to take ypu out. Both are super friendly and know exactly what they are doing. It was a blast we caught some great fish I really recommend these guys.
