Excellent in every way!

Half Day Trip (PM)2 adults

Captain Anton and First Mate Logan provided an outstanding fishing experience. Both of them are patient, knowledgeable, helpful and showed a nice sense of humor. They made our successful fishing experience really pleasant and enjoyable. We were a group of three: an excited 11-year old and 2 enthusiastic, adults. We are not neophytes. Each of us has spent plenty of time fishing in recent years. Anton and Logan are both quite personable which made for an extremely relaxed atmosphere aboard the Pacific Mistress. Very highly recommended. 5+/5

    Perfect Family Trip

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    Here's a polished version that keeps your enthusiasm while improving the flow and grammar: Fantastic Trip and Crew! We reeled in at least 70 fish, if not more! The crew really knew what they were doing—they read the room, knew exactly where to go, and gave everyone just the right amount of attention. Mission accomplished! Our only two goals were for the kids to catch fish and to bring enough home for dinner, and we easily did both. There was plenty of room below deck for all the snacks and drinks we brought. The refrigerator kept everything nice and cold, there was a microwave if needed, and the table was a great size for setting out chips, dips, and other snacks. One quick note: the boat now departs from Dock 37, not the O/L location you may see mentioned in older posts. This was an amazing trip from start to finish. Highly recommend—you'll love it!

    Excellent Experience!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 3 children

    We had a great time with Antone and Logan.  it was me and 3, 14 year-old boys on the trip. The first thing that I thought was excellent is Antone (30s) and Logan (21) are both younger which made them very relatable to the kids. Antone is an avid baseball fan and Logan is a hockey guy. No shortage of conversation on the way out to the fish! Once there, they absolutely knew exactly what they were doing and were professional and fun from start to finish. In 3 hours we had 20 fish and enough keepers to power dinner for 5 that evening! Book with confidence - these are the guys you want!

    Perfect Last Minute Trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    We had an incredible half day fishing trip on the Pacific Mistress out of Dana Point. Captain Anton and deck hand Logan were absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. The fishing was nonstop. Boy did we fish. We caught and released over 60 fish, which made for an exciting and action packed day on the water. To top it off, just as the trip was winding down, we landed a beautiful halibut that was perfect for dinner. Such a great surprise to end the trip. Everything about the experience was smooth, well organized, and enjoyable. You can tell this crew really knows what they are doing and genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great time. Highly recommend this trip to anyone in the area. We will absolutely be booking again next time we are back.

    Yellowtails Delight

    8 Hour Coastal Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Pacific Mistress Sportfishing Charter Operator, Dana Point, CA. Capt Anton Faicchio and deck mate Cole turned our fishing trip into a huge success, returning to Dana Point Harbor with 5 trophy sized Yellowtails, 4 Bonitos, and 4 Bass fish. Anton and Cole were professional, very knowledgeable, experienced fisherman, and were happy to share their insights with us. We will return in June 2027 and look forward to fishing with them again. We remain fully satisfied with Pacific Mistress, as they became our Go To fishing charter operator. Thank you so much, Anton and Cole!

    Excellent trip!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    Captain Anton and Grant were fantastic. Super knowledgeable about fishing and very personable. They were great with my two boys, who are newer to fishing. We caught a lot of fish, 7 different species in only a couple hours of fishing. My two boys had a blast - “one of the best days ever” according to my 11 year old. We will be back for more fishing with Captain Anton! Thanks again!
