We recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing trip with Captain Phil out of Sausalito, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, Captain Phil demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and hospitality.

*Pre-Trip Communication:* Captain Phil called the day before to confirm all details, ensuring a seamless experience.

*Dock and Location:* The dock in Sausalito was easily accessible, with ample parking in a beautiful area.

*The Boat:* Captain Phil’s vessel was impressive - well-maintained, clean, and mechanically sound.

*Fishing Expertise:* Captain Phil’s knowledge of fishing spots, tides, currents, and wind conditions was impressive. He expertly guided us to the fish, resulting in an impressive 10 catches (2 Bat Rays, 5 Striper Bass, 2 Halibut, and 1 Shovenose Guitar Fish) during our 8-hour trip.

*Customer Service:* Captain Phil was incredibly patient and enthusiastic about teaching my two children (ages 11 and 9) fishing techniques. He made the day enjoyable for all of us, and his ability to identify fish species based on bite patterns was remarkable.

*Overall Experience:* Captain Phil has set the bar extremely high for future fishing charters. His exceptional service, expertise, and passion for fishing make him a top-notch captain. We can’t recommend him enough!

*Rating:* 5/5 stars

*Recommendation:* Book with Captain Phil for an unforgettable fishing experience!

Last week I had the pleasure of fishing with three of my friends on Captain Phil’s charter boat “Reel Time”.  It was AWESOME!!!

We arrived at the Marina around 6:00AM.  Phil was already there to welcome us and show us around his beautiful thirty-foot Boston Whaler. The boat was spotless and well equipped for comfort as well as CATCHING FISH.

We left the harbor in Sausalito and headed east towards the Bay Bridge.  Phil coached us in how to handle the rods and reels but most importantly, how to entice a fish into the boat.  It was fun, but Captain Phil was confident bigger fish were waiting for us outside the Golden Gate Bridge.

Our new fishing spot took us north past Bolinas Bay and eventually to Point Reyes. It was a great ride along the wilderness shoreline. Captain Phil calls it an “Ecosystem Tour” that you will never forget. We all loved it.

And the best thing is we caught 20 fish when we got there! Most of the fish were Rockfish and Lingcod. It was exciting to watch everyone landing strong fish that give you a good fight. And good eating!

If you are looking for a charter boat in San Francsico Bay, call Phil. He is a top-notch, professional Charter Captain and a fun guy who sincerely wants his customers to have a great fishing adventure.

I’m already planning my next charter with Captain Phil!

Phil was great. We had an incredible time heading out on the bay to catch fish. Highly recommend!

We had the best day fishing with Phil! He was a very quick to stay in communication with us prior to our trip and provided information on licenses, parking, what to. wear/bring, etc.  His boat was very clean and comfortable, and he clearly knows the bay very well.  It was the end of the season, but we still caught 3 gorgeous halibut to keep as well as a giant ray and a little shark which were fun to catch.  Phil.  is such a speedy and attentive captain, and he was constantly baiting and tending to our lines and moving the boat to great fishing spots.  He is a good coach too, teaching technique while educating on how different fish approach bait, seasonal patterns, and everything else.  We had a blast catching our fish, but even if we had had a dry spell, we would have felt fortunate to fish outside of Alcatraz or viewing the Golden Gate Bridge and seeing all the seals and birds and other boats and tankers.  We will definitely hit Phil up for another season!
