I would definitely recommend Captain Brent and SF Boat Support if you’re thinking about a fishing trip out of SF.
A group of 8 went out for half a day and I would say it was a perfect amount of space for us. I can see us fitting two more to be able to all fish at the same time.
The majority of us had very little fishing experience but the first mate was able to set us up and teach us the basics in no time. By the end of the trip we all caught 2-4 fish or so and we thoroughly enjoyed the scenic ride in the bay. They provided the rods and the bait for a fee of $10 which made it very easy for us.

This was an amazing trip a first for our group. Captain Brent and his first mate were excellent. They provided everything you needed. Don’t worry if you don’t have experience they will help you with everything. They have some of the best reels from Penn and rods from Ugly Stik and most important they provided live bait. Captain Brents first mate went above and beyond and had a lot of patience with my younger son even more than I had LOL. He was very attentive to everyone and made sure everyone was fishing the right way. Captain Brent did his best to get us to the most spots time allowed so we can catch something but the truth is the spots may be good but sometimes the fish just ain’t biting. In our group of 8, 3 of us came home empty-handed, so no guarantees but it was a great experience overall… no regrets. My brother caught a 25” halibut with 20 mins left on the clock. My other brother, son, and father in law caught some rock cod’s and a 15” halibut. I know it gets pricey but next time we will try to go for the whole day for better chances…and definitely go with Captain Brent.

Cap Brent and Shae are great! I was debating between morning and afternoon trip and I am glad that I chose the morning one. It is definitely worth the effort. We ended up with 17 rockfishes. Everybody is quite happy and very satisfied!
