We had an incredible day out on the water with Molly Boat, owned and operated by Captain Molly. This was my son’s first real sea fishing trip, and it turned into a truly unforgettable experience. In past attempts he could barely catch anything, but this time was a complete turnaround.

We were lucky to have Captain Bruce join us, and together they made the perfect team. Both were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and great with kids. They explained every step clearly and kept the excitement high throughout the trip.

My son was thrilled to land his first big catch ever — a leopard shark close to 60 lbs. We went on to catch several more, including three varieties of sharks and even a stingray. The bonus highlight was Captain Bruce’s pet sea lions. We saved some fish heads for them, and watching them respond to his calls and show up for treats was magical. The kids were completely fascinated and probably enjoyed the sea lion moment just as much as the fishing.

Overall, an amazing trip and a perfect first sea fishing memory for my son. Highly recommend Captain Molly and Molly Boat if you want a fun, safe, and unforgettable day on the water.

We had a great/fun/ successful 5 hour charter with Miss Molly and mate Bruce. We caught 10 shark, 3 different types and 1 bat ray. The boat was very comfortable when we needed to get out of the cool air and out of the sun. My grandson had been hoping to catch shark and Molly and Bruce made it happen. Bruce cleaned and fillet our shark and provided bags to put the fillets in until we got to the car where we had our coolers.
Molly and Bruce had several stories about fishing locations and the variety of fish that are typically caught during through out the year.
Fun trip and well worth it.

When I chose Miss Molly, she wasn’t least expensive nor most expensive, but 28 yrs in this business and larger boat than most. But here’s the thing, I felt her pride of craft without the ego, bravado or competitiveness of several of my other choices! I simply wanted to cross my very first item on my bucket list for 42 yrs now, catch a shark! didn’t care how big or small nor the species. So reviewing the weatherbug app and communication from Miss Molly about heavier winds in the afternoon, would I want to join 6am trip instead. I explained it really couldn’t work with our schedule, and she said, “Ok”. However, my wife had let Miss Molly know, wasn’t interested in any other fish, only sharks! This is where the fun starts…. in her and Capt. Bruce’s generosity, even though I paid fee for one of 5 fishermen, I got Captain Miss Molly and Captain Bruce ALL TO MYSELF!!! A 500% increased value that I couldn’t have afforded even though my desires were selfishly my own, they didn’t do what I saw some other guides do in my past, CANCEL the trip! They did NOT do that, and I was gobsmacked at their generosity, AND how beautiful of people these two are!!! So before Monday, I prayed for 3 things, 1. That the waters would be calm and still; 2. If possible, I’d catch a bigger than normal shark, and 3. that I wouldn’t get my usual seasickness. PRAYER WORKS, as did my patch I asked my Dr to prescribe for me, he did!!! Where she took us was roughly 50 minutes at 12 mph, and both her and Capt Bruce could NOT believe the calmness, I confessed to praying! And as they put rods out, we got a false bite on first rod, but 2nd bite was LEGIT! I got put onto a chunky fish, but the way it fought, thought it might be a halibut, or a ray?! Super strong, not even like a Red, really strong, but low and behold, it was a VERY large Leopard Shark!!! And a few times it managed to wiggle loose and onto deck, it was right out of Lethal Weapon scene LOL 😆 BUT honestly, we could have returned to base!!! Of course we didn’t, but doggone it, Miss Molly lived up to my expectations and so far beyond! I know from buddies, fishing for sharks WITHOUT CHUM, can be hours and hours of waiting and more praying! Not here with Miss Molly, we weren’t in the water but maybe 6 minutes before I was on my dream shark! But even whilst waiting on the gate for her to bring me aboard, I saw a mother and daughter coming up with bags of fish meat to send home! They both had huge smiles, so I guessed, “Were you out with Miss Molly?” They were, but with those smiles, my question was all but rhetorical! I was even more excited as they recounted the highlights of their trip!!! I digress, next we got onto a brown smooth-hound shark! So not only did I get one species of shark, now I got TWO! I ended up catching 4 of those plus my “Boat Record” Leopard Shark, estimated at 4 to 4½ ft, possibly 50+ lbs too!!! After that we all decided to try for some other species, and before you know it, time to head back to Harbor! BUT one of the live bait bites I had just off the bridge, I felt MASSIVE flat fish POWER!!! Unfortunately I didn’t convert to a solid hook-up, but that was on me alone!!! So here’s the bottom-line, IF you want to feel like a VIP, IF you want two incredible people guiding you, and IF you want to avoid any ego or competitiveness, and she has a spot open??? Choose Captain Miss Molly and Captain Bruce, just the boat ride and conversations alone were worth it, I kid you not, no matter what, Lord willing I’ll have many future opportunities to return for another one, but lets be honest, you and I both know I’m gonna try and do an individual all day with these two out to sea for Tigers or Great Whites Hahahaha 😆

Captain Molly is a great communicator, has everything you need and most importantly has amazing energy. Bruce brought a lifetime of experience and a love of the game and especially sharing the experience. I’m early in my fishing journey and I learned a lot! All you need is a good attitude, open ears and your lunch. They put us in the right place, had us presenting bait the right way and we caught some gorgeous salmon. Even if I came back empty handed I would have written a rave review. It was a wonderful experience with an exceptional crew. I’ll definitely keep Miss Molly in mind the next time I’m looking for a charter.

Captain Molly was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Her boat was in excellent condition. She was very accommodating and made sure that the trip was tailored to our enjoyment. Her fishing experts, Captain Bruce and Captain Peter were excellent fisherman that were very patient with us. They communicated clearly and provided excellent instruction on what to do while trying to catch a salmon. When we were actually reeling them in, they helped us every step of the process, without their help I think it is safe to say that we would have lost most the fish, but we caught every bite. Upon return to the dock, they filleted the salmon for us. Bruce took his time to cut it expertly and explained which parts of the fish would be best for various uses, i.e. eating raw and smoking. The advice was great and the fish has been delicious thus far.
