My daughters and I surprised my husband for Father’s day with this trip. It was a risky gift because we are inexperienced plus we’re all just a bit clumsy. Captain Eldon and First Mate Garrett were just SO incredibly patient. I tangled up a line like a ball of Christmas lights but Cap calmly took over and told me not to worry. Garrett never stopped baiting hooks and giving us tips. We’re also a curious bunch so we ask all kinds of questions. They were a wealth of knowledge and I might just become a spear fisher in my next life.

We caught fish but be also fed pelicans our leftover bait, spotted dolphins, saw a picturesque jellyfish (it could grace the cover of Nat Geo, it was that perfect) and had a big shoal of porpoise swim right along side of us. At one point, it dawned upon me that I had not been so relaxed in months! It was a memorable day. My husband is already thinking of when he can take his own dad and uncle back out with La Jolla Water Sports. I think the girls are going to make him take them again, too.

Went on the 8 am trip on the Blood Vessel with my 2 friends. We ended up not catching anything sadly byt we still had a great time chatting and swaping stories with Captain Eldon the entire time. He was verry knowledgeable and entertaining. Would recommend going during the summer.

Eldon and Jen knocked it out of the park!! I was nervous at first because I brought my 9, 7 and 4 year old. He made us feel safe right off the bat! My 4 year old caught a fish almost immediately. All the kids had an absolute blast and we all felt welcomed right away!! I would highly recommend this charter!!!
