This trip was a true bucket list for me. We booked last minute in hopes to have my Dad and my Adult kids catching fish that make a true memory!
Sam was open and honest saying it was going to be very bumpy due to weather. We are familiar with SoCal boating and we were fine with the adventure. Sam made a very bumpy ocean almost comfortable even for my 76 yr old Dad. (But like I said we are used to SoCal waters)
Sam and Kai are great dudes and fish their A$@@ off. They put us on Bluefin and Yellowtail and if we were better fisherman we would have done even better!! They kept us on the water longer than we deserved and even tried hard after our time was up. Totally above and beyond!
The boat is a purposeful fish killer!
They cleaned all the fish and I would 100% fish with these guys anytime!

My family and I had an amazing time. First, Capt. Sam is easy to communicate with and answered all my messages within minutes. The boat is super clean and tidy, and they have really nice gear to use if you donโt have your own Seeker rods and Shimano/Penn reels). Second, Capt. Sam got us on fish and was flexible depending on what we wanted to do. My middle son pulled up a bucket list fish - big olโ black sea bass (in MX). Lastly, Capt. Sam and the crew were so polite, helpful, and accommodating. One of the deckhands paid special attention to our youngest - making sure he was doing things right, getting him out of tangles/trouble, always asking/making sure he was having a fun time. You have lots of choices - mine will now always be Guardian Charters.

Capt Sam and Kai were awesome. they were flexible with the start time and duration of our charter. With three small children under the age of 11, it was a very stress-free and easy as a family. All the kids caught fish and they had snacks on board. What more can you ask for? Will book again, for sure.
Took my family out hoping my Daughter would catch her first tuna. Capt. Sam & Kai went above & beyond to find fish and keep us on them until we caught! What, apparently, was a really tough day for most everyone else was a great day for us, coming home with a freezer-full of beautiful bluefin & yellowtail!
We had a great trip with my wife and three kids. It was non stop catching fish once we found our spot. We caught 39rock fish and salmon grouper. Sam then filleted all 39 fish for us. We will definitely take another trip with him.
