  David and Neil are The Best

  Full Day Trip (Private) on July 22, 2026 • 6 adults

  I've been using the Warrior Poet for over five years for my Bay Area Fishing trips (I take one or two per year). I've always come back with fish! He'll get you on the halibut, striped bass, rockfish, and salmon. David is a great captain. He has great information on where the bite is hot. He has great knowledge of the fishing landscape in the Bay Area. And he's a really interesting and kind human being. I've been through rough seas, calm seas and everything in between on this boat and it was clear that David knew how to handle the moment. Neil is also great! He's a pro in every way. From safety briefing to bringing your catch on board to filleting a halibut without leaving an ounce behind, he's the best! Between David and Neil, you should feel great about booking a trip with your friends, colleagues, and family. Amazing crew.

  Best birthday fishing trip ever!

  Full Day Trip on July 18, 2026 • 4 adults

  I booked this trip as a surprise for my husband, and we brought his sister and her boyfriend along. My husband has always wanted to try rockfishing, and this trip exceeded all of our expectations. Dave and Neil were fantastic, and made the whole experience so much fun and we couldn't believe how many fish we caught! We're looking forward to trying out lots of new recipes and enjoying plenty of fresh rockfish ceviche. We had an amazing day from start to finish and would absolutely recommend this crew to anyone looking for a great fishing experience. We'd love to book another trip with them in the future!

  Fantastic fishing

  Full Day Trip (Private) on June 2, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

  We had an absolutely fantastic fishing trip and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Captain Neil was incredibly knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us. Thanks to his expertise, we caught an amazing variety of fish including halibut, striped bass, rockfish, leopard sharks, a seven-gill shark, and brown sharks! Bradley, the deckhand, was outstanding. He was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. He especially connected well with our teenager, which made the trip even more enjoyable. What really stood out was how wonderful both Neil and Bradley were with our two boys. They were patient, encouraging, and made the entire experience fun and memorable for our family. Their passion for fishing and dedication to their guests truly showed throughout the day. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, we highly recommend this company. We will definitely be booking another trip in the future with Warrior Poet.

  Best Trip EVER!!!!

  Full Day Trip on May 9, 2026 • 2 adults

  What an incredible day on the water with Warrior Poet Sportfishing Charter! We booked the full day trip and absolutely crushed it — limiting out on both striper and rockfish! Even caught a legal size rare cabezon The fishing was phenomenal, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the crew. Captain David was top notch from start to finish — knowledgeable, hardworking, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone had an amazing time. Deckhand Neil was outstanding as well, always helping, keeping lines ready, and making the whole trip smooth and fun. And honorary deckhand Susan was absolutely awesome and brought such a great energy to the boat! The entire crew treated us like a couple of old friends out fishing together rather than just customers. The atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and an absolute blast all day long. You can tell they genuinely care about giving people a memorable experience. If you’re looking for an amazing fishing charter with an outstanding crew, Warrior Poet Sportfishing Charter is the one to book. We’ll definitely be back!!!

  Everyone Had a Blast

  Full Day Trip on September 13, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain David was very knowledgeable and patient with everyone. The boat and equipment was clean, orderly, and well taken care of. Captain knew several locations where we all caught something, and he showed us how to handle the sharks and rays so everyone was safe too. We all got pretty sweet pictures with our catches, and as tourists, he recommended some amazing food locations to check out while in the area.
