Our trip with Warrior Poet SF was truly outstanding! From start to finish, the crew made sure everything was well organized, safe, and fun. The captain was extremely knowledgeable about the area and took us right to the best spots, where we caught plenty of fish. The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfectly equipped for a great day on the water. What really stood out was the passion and friendliness of the team – they went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an amazing time, no matter their level of experience. I would highly recommend Warrior Poet SF to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure in San Francisco!

We had an absolutely incredible 10-hour fishing trip in San Francisco aboard the Warrior Poet with Captain Neil. My wife and I had a blast from start to finish. Neil knew exactly where to take us, and we fished both in the bay and out in the Pacific. Being that close to the Golden Gate Bridge while fishing was an unforgettable experience.

The catch was amazing—about a dozen rockfish, a blue lingcod, striped bass, and two halibut. Honestly, we caught more in this one trip than on our last few trips combined! Once we had more than enough fish to bring home, we switched things up and fished for sharks and rays. My wife landed a leopard shark, and I reeled in a few rays. That part was all catch-and-release and so much fun.

What really made the trip stand out was Captain Neil himself. He wasn’t just a guide—he taught us about the area, the different species, and even gave us tips to become better anglers. He’s knowledgeable, passionate, and just an all-around great guy. He even got my wife—who had never touched a live fish before—to hold up her catch for photos! She was nervous, but Neil captured some incredible shots we’ll treasure forever.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience that exceeded every expectation. We can’t recommend Captain Neil and the Warrior Poet highly enough!

Warrior Poet is pure fishing poetry! Captain Dave and Captain Neal made it effortless to catch fish. My boys and I had so much fun! Within a minute my son caught a striped bass, and it happened so fast I almost missed it. We caught sharks, striped bass, stingrays, and halibut. We had to throw some back, but the fight between man and fish was priceless. Captain Dave knew where to go and Captain Neal knew how to get us fishing fast. This trip was awesome. If you ever want to go out fishing or think about fishing then Warrior Poetry Sportfishing is the perfect way to make great memories!

I cannot say enough good things about Captain Dave and First Mate Neil! They are fantastic—highly experienced, eager to teach newcomers all about fishing, and ready to support seasoned anglers whenever needed. I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the trip, and I was amazed by how active it was—there was never a dull moment. Both Dave and Neil are incredibly kind and generous, and we can’t wait to go out with them again!

The boat itself is well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped, with a great selection of drinks and snacks provided by the captain.

We caught and kept 40 rockfish and three halibut. Neil did an outstanding job filleting the fish on the way back and took wonderful photos of us with our halibut. We were also lucky enough to see a great white shark just eight feet from the boat, along with two whales, numerous porpoises, sea lions, and a harbor seal. It was an unforgettable experience!

My kids and I had such a fun afternoon with Capt Neil.  Got to explore multiple parts of the bay, catch a giant ray, multiple sharks, and small halibut.  While we didn’t catch any we could bring home to eat, it was so cool to get up close with some of the bay life. Holding a shark, petting a ray, and seeing a flat fish up close was really cool.  I wasn’t sure if 5 hours would be too much for my 5yo son but he had a great time.  Captain Neil was super patient and helped us be part of this special experience even though we know nothing about fishing
