  Best fishing trip ever!

  Quick Inexpensive Catch/Release day on August 1, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  This was the third fishing trip my son and I have tried. We did one in Boston and one in Halifax before this. Molly’s was without a doubt the best experience we’ve ever had! Captain Molly was so personable and fun and nice and deckhand Dan was outstanding too! Captain Molly’s the most thoughtful captain we’ve ever had, too. She had water, ginger, snacks, and other fun fizzy drinks. She took us to great fishing spots that were also beautiful and took care to point out great photo ops. We learned a lot about the California coast, its ecosystem, and history, too. Even if she hadn’t extended the trip just so my son could catch something (🥹), I would rate Molly the highest possible. Definitely book her if you want a great experience, plus beautiful scenery, and a captain who cares about her guests.

  that was the best day. I loved it when the whole Boat started cheering and admiring the shark. Thank you so much for coming on the boat and sharing your life. I cleaned up the Alcatraz photo so you have another option.

  Captain Molly and Junior are simply amazing!

  Half day shared on June 30, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  My 11 year old son and I reached out to Captain Molly the day before our requested fishing trip, and she immediately responded with a resounding yes 😀 It was my son's first time on a fishing charter, and he has been asking to go on one for at least 2 years. Molly and Junior exceeded all expectations! They were incredibly kind, helpful, and patient, and they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. It felt like I was fishing with a friend who I had known for a long time! We were also subject to a random safety inspection from the Coast Guard, and Molly's crew and boat easily passed. It was clear from the moment we stepped foot on the boat that safety is a priority, and it showed. I absolutely recommend Molly, and cant wait to fish with her and Junior again in the near future!

  Best birthday trip ever!

  5 Hour Trip (PM) on June 6, 2026 • 3 adults

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing 5–6 hour fishing trip with Captain Molly and Junior! This trip was especially meaningful because we were celebrating my elderly father’s birthday, and they helped make it a day we’ll always remember. From the very beginning, Captain Molly was a wonderful communicator. She was responsive, informative, and incredibly accommodating, even with our last-minute booking. Her flexibility and willingness to work with us made planning the trip stress-free and allowed us to celebrate my dad’s special day exactly how we had hoped. Once on the water, Captain Molly was professional, knowledgeable, and calm. She navigated the boat smoothly, creating a comfortable and relaxing experience for everyone on board. Junior was equally fantastic. He was friendly, helpful, and always ready to offer guidance and assistance. The fishing was exciting and kept us engaged throughout the trip. We caught two bass that we were able to keep, along with a shark, a baby halibut, and a stingray. The variety of catches made for a fun and memorable adventure. What stood out most was the overall atmosphere. The trip was relaxed, enjoyable, and perfectly paced. Seeing my dad smiling and having such a great time on his birthday made the experience even more special. If you’re looking for a fishing charter with a knowledgeable captain, excellent communication, flexibility, and a genuinely enjoyable experience, I highly recommend Captain Molly and Junior. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to book another trip with them! 🎣🎉

  My Grandsons had an amazing time!

  Fun Summer longer PM trip on June 7, 2026 • 3 adults

  Every year I take my grandsons (17 & 13) on a trip somewhere to expose them to something they haven’t done or seen… The fishing trip with Molly and Jr yesterday was this year’s experience. On meeting Molly, she asked what the boys wanted to do… And she delivered everything they wanted and more. The boys caught fish to take home, got to fight some worthy opponents of the water, learned some things about fishing, and were treated to learning how important it is to know the water and its inhabitants. Kudos to Molly and Jr. It was a day that the boys will never forget.

  a great day on the water

  Gift Voucher for fishing trip on April 22, 2026 • 2 adults

  It was a little too windy to head out past the Golden Gate, so we tried a few areas in the bay. Captain Molly and Junior turned a slow day on the water into a really good day. Got about a dozen hits, but unfortunately, only one keeper. Very relaxing time and a lot of knowledge shared. Just a very chill atmosphere and experience. 6 hours went by faster than I could ever imagine. Will not hesitate to book with Captain Molly again, looking forward to the salmon season to go out again. Thank you so much Captain Molly and Junior for the wonderful time!!!!!!!!!
