- ------------------Don't Just Go Fishing, Go Catching!------------------ Owned by Ty Hajjar, a lifelong San Diego local who’s been on the water since 1987, our charters are built around one mission: putting you on fish while making memories for a lifetime. Ty has spent decades honing his craft and has dialed the boats into our fleet into fish-killing machines! — fully loaded, dry, and ready to run anywhere you want to go, bay, inshore, offshore, islands, and more! Leading the charge is Captain Austin Derry, a top-tier fishing and spearfishing captain with global experience and a passion for delivering first-class service on every trip. Whether you’re hunting hard for tuna, stacking up yellowtail, or introducing your family to the thrill of saltwater fishing and spearfishing, we customize every charter for max action and safety. At Catch Sportfishing, we don’t just go fishing — we go catching. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Owner Ty Hajjar: Ty Hajjar has lived in San Diego since 1987 and has been part of the local fishing scene since 1994. From grinding it out as a deckhand on sportboats to co-captaining 6 pack fishing charter yachts off our coast and into Mexico, Ty has spent his life mastering the bite in Southern California’s offshore, inshore, islands, and bay waters. This is his backyard — from the kelp beds off La Jolla and Point Loma to the tuna grounds beyond the islands — and he’s built his business around sharing that homegrown knowledge with every guest who steps aboard. With decades of hands-on experience and a deep passion for saltwater fishing and spearfishing, Ty has transformed his fleet of boats into no-nonsense fish-killing machines, customized for serious anglers and families alike. Whether you’re a local looking to finally land that trophy bluefin tuna or a visitor wanting to experience San Diego’s world-class fishing firsthand, Ty’s mission is to deliver an action-packed, authentic trip you won’t forget. At Catch Sportfishing, you’re not just booking a charter — you’re joining a crew that knows these waters like the back of their hands. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Captain Austin Derry: Austin is the kind of captain who’s put in the work — from grinding long days as a deckboss to running the show at the helm. With years of experience across a wide range of vessels, from center consoles and sportfishers to superyachts, Austin has built rock-solid skills that translate into smooth, efficient, and high-energy trips on the water. He’s not just here to drive the boat — he’s here to put you on fish and make sure every run counts. A serious waterman with a static breath hold pushing 4 minutes and the ability to freedive to depths of 135 feet, Austin brings elite-level skill and toughness to every spearfishing trip. Whether you’re chasing tuna offshore, stacking yellowtail, or diving deep for world-class spearfishing action, Austin’s mission is simple: deliver a safe, fun, and fish-filled trip tailored to your goals. When you climb aboard with Captain Austin, you’re fishing — or diving — with someone who knows what it takes to get the job done and won’t stop until you do.----------------------------------------------------------------------- Deckhand Hunter Hajjar: Hunter was born into the San Diego saltwater scene — the next generation in a family built around fishing, spearfishing, and life on the water. Raised on his dad’s boats and riding offshore since he was an infant, Hunter has grown up mastering the craft, turning childhood passion into serious skill. By his teens, he was already an accomplished fisherman and spearfisherman, with a static breath hold of 2.5 minutes and the ability to freedive to 90 feet — proof that he’s built for this world. As one of Catch Sportfishing’s top deckhands, Hunter brings a powerful mix of natural instinct, hands-on experience, and technical know-how to every trip. He’s well-versed in all types of fishing and spearfishing, holds his California Boater Card, and is highly skilled at navigation and boat operations. Whether he’s helping customers rig up for battle, spotting fish from the tower, or working the deck with precision, Hunter represents the future of the Catch Sportfishing crew — continuing the family tradition while pushing every trip to the next level.
