Family Friendly…Low Stress
5/5
Capt Sam and Kai were awesome. they were flexible with the start time and duration of our charter. With three small children under the age of 11, it was a very stress-free and easy as a family. All the kids caught fish and they had snacks on board. What more can you ask for? Will book again, for sure.

5/5
Molly and her crewman, Vince, were absolutely fantastic. They made sure my family and I had a wonderful time and we all got the fishing experience we wanted. She took us to great sites, but always looking for even better spots. Our third spot turned out to be the best and we each caught stripped bass, halibut and even a tiger shark (which we released!) No hesitation to recommend Molly for a great fishing experience in San Francisco Bay.

Captain Stephon and Ryan put us on some large Rockfish and Lingcod right away. Had our limits of Rockfish early and spent the rest of the day targeting large Lingcod and didn't miss. Thank you guys!!

We bought this trip for our father for Father's Day and it did not disappoint. We had amazing trip with Captain Tuk. All 6 of us were able to catch at least 1 fish and the captain was extremely helpful and fun throughout the entire charter. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great fishing experience. We will be doing it again.

Great kid friendly outing!
5/5
We can’t thank Captain Brian and Sam enough. They put our family on a lot of rockfish and showed us a great time. A special call out to Sam. This was a first time experience charter fishing for our two youngest sons. Sam was engaging with the kids, raised their excitement level and helped them along the way. If we charter again, we will book with Captain again!!!
