Aria Sportfishing 

Best fishing trip I’ve ever been on.

I’ve been on many larger fishing trips with 25 plus fisherman boats but this time we kept it to just our 4 man party. Paid a lot more money but The Captain made it well worth every penny. Captain Melkonyan was absolutely awesome. Very knowledgeable and welcoming. Very friendly and made us all feel welcome. If you’ve been considering it, just do it. We made this a Catalina fishing trip, next one will be a tuna expedition. Thank you Captain !!

Incredible bluefin tuna trip with Aria Sport Fishing! Captain Shant was professional, skilled, and made the experience unforgettable — highly recommend!

I recommend this boat to catch fish.

We had a great fishing trip at Catalina Island. The bite was good, the scenery was beautiful, and the whole experience was worth it from start to finish. The captain was helpful, the boat was well-run, and everyone had a good time.

Got sea sick but still had a blast. Captain Shant knew exactly where to hit. Was on fish basically all day.

We had a day fishing trip with Shant to Catalina as a family with my partner, and two boys 9 and 11. Had a great time, Shant was very welcoming, helpful and great with our kids throughout the trip. We stopped over at the island for lunch, did more fishing in the afternoon before heading back. Seals, pelicans and dolphins accompanied us on the trip. Most of the afternoon fishing was taxed by the seal :) I would definitely recommend a trip Shant for families. We'll be back for bluefin this summer. Thank you Shant!

Man let me tell you.. Shant and his team are amazing! not sure how it goes for others but after 3 hours of embarking we were seeing signs of life! Boiler!!!!! Shant and his team were able to help snag a 275 lb cow! what an experience! i can’t wait til next season to take my son! this was an old guys trip and Shant with his muscles really helped catch this sucker! totally amazing!

Had an amazing last minute trip where we didn’t expect much but to spend the day fishing and maybe catch some fish in this transitional time of year for fishing in CA! Shant is a great captain and a great guy who made it a priority to find fish!! Came away with an ice chest full of fish and great day overall! Would highly recommend Shant for any trips from beginners to experienced fisherman!
