It all started with my dad as a kid. I always loved being on the water and catching anything I could. Over the last 50 years, I've made fishing my life. I've been fishing the waters of Southern California on anything from tiny boats to luxury Sportfishing yachts. Inshore or offshore there's no place I'd rather be. Running charters for families and big game anglers allows me to share my passion for fishing. The variety of species and anglers keeps it exciting.

    Limited Out!

    12 Hour Trip – Offshore • 6 adults

    Best fishing experience of our lives. We did a 12 hour offshore trip (6 of us) and it was like a highlight reel you would see on YouTube. Tons of action, Brian and Nick put us right on the fish and we started hammering them quickly. We caught Yellowfin, Yellowtail and Mahi on our trip. Even had one stolen by a Mako Shark that breached the surface and did a back flip with our tuna in its jaws! Amazing! Brian and Nick pushed us to our full potential, even when we were getting worn out from big yellowfin they pushed us to fish harder and better and it paid off, everyone did a great job! Fillet process was great too, thanks Nick for sending us home with enough fish fillets for the rest of the year! Haha

    Reported catch:
    Yellowtail Amberjack
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Yellowfin Tuna

    That was fun and that Mako shark was worth loosing the fish it ate! Thanks for fishing with us!

    Unforgettable 13th Birthday Trip – Non-Stop Action & Amazing Crew!

    5 Hour Inshore Trip • 6 adults • 3 children

    We booked this trip to celebrate our son's 13th birthday with a couple of his best buds, and Brian and Nick completely delivered! From start to finish, there wasn't a dull moment. They put us right in the middle of the action, and the kids had an absolute blast pulling in tons of bonito and two massive 20+ pound yellowtails. On the ride back, Nick filleted all of our catch, making for an incredible dinner feast when we got home. Our son said it was his best birthday ever! A huge thanks to Brian and Nick for making this trip so special for the boys. We'll definitely be back!

    Reported catch:
    Yellowtail Amberjack

    Fishing within minutes in the water

    Half day (AM) • 2 adults

    our Cpt Gavin and crew Tegan were the best. From the moment they greeted ys befor boarding to the very end. They were very helpful and nice. we were on fish within minutes of leaving the marina and had such a blast cwtching multiple species. Both Gavin and Tegan were knowledgeable and helpful. we appreciate it so much as our last fishing charter experience (another charter company) was very disappointing. Thank you again for a wonderful experience.

    A Great Time!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    The captain and deck hand were so attentive with the children, age 6, 12, and 14. My 6-year-old son was so stoked to have caught two rockfish all on his own and I was surprised but super happy to see that my two nieces were fishing nearly the entire time. The adults also had a lot of fun of course. A lot of rockfish were caught and will be tonight's dinner - fish tacos. Great experience. Would recommend and will be doing it ourselves again sometime.

    Reported catch:
    Rockfish

    Great fishing. Great Crew!

    8 Hour Trip • 6 adults

    We did the eight hour trip. Captain Brian was very casual, friendly and professional from the start. Six of us that have grown up fishing had a great time. He did his best finding spots always keeping on the fish. Everyone caught Brown Rockfish, red rockfish, and a load of whitefish.. We were close to Mexico boarder, looking for sport fish. iBoat was comfortable, perfect amount of breaks in between fishing, views were beautiful. Definitely recommend..

    Reported catch:
    Rockfish
