Reviewed 6 Hour Trip – Catalina Island
I would give 10 stars if I could!!!
5/5
May 12-year-old son and I had an amazing trip with Captain Gerry out to Catalina Island. If we do not get a fish within two minutes of our line being water it was a disappointment. The captain had us on the fish from the moment we stopped until we left. We caught everything including a shark! And my son caught a huge 28 inch halibut.Gerry wasn’t an amazing captain and we even saw a school of dolphins coming back to Long Beach. I cannot more highly recommend this Charter.

Awsome crew and trip
5/5
Boat already bait loaded and ready to leave by 6am. Professional, friendly and very helpful crew. We had a mix of skill level on board and crew adapted to all. We caught three kinds of sea bass, baraccuda, halibut and even a mako shark. Released most, kept a.few legals for dinner. Overall a most excellent outing. HIGHLY recommend.

Captain Daniel is awesome and patient, got us to the fish quickly, and we caught a ton, barracuda, sheepshead, Vermillion, whitefish, and an 18lb halibut was the catch of the day. Couldn't recommend him more.

Great trip wish we had booked a longer trip
4/5
Captain Phil was a great captain, he got us on fish for pretty much the duration of the trip. Only downside we did not book enough time to do some drifting for Halibut. Overall the trip was great and we will probably go again. Thanks Capt. Phil

Fun trip
5/5
Had specific requests for yellowtail and halibut, and Captain Roger and Langdon made it happen. Very personalized and had a fun day the entire day all around, both are a lot of help even when we are relatively new to the process.
