Captain Stan was great very knowledgeable.  Caught 5 fish.  It was great.

While the afternoon heat hit 102 degrees, Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water Rolling rolled through my mind as the air quality was sub optimal, and ultimately the fish won the day, we had a GREAT time.

Our party was two adults and two teens who hadn’t been on a family outing since Covid hit.  Video games and remote schooling were traded for hours of relaxing on the water trying to hook a salmon, and when all was said and done, the kids enjoyed it.

Captain Stan proved to be very knowledgeable of the waters and has some great stories to help pas the time.  He did amazing with the kids and I could tell it made him happy to see their smiles.  They got to experience something they’d never done before and both were all smiles afterwards while we discussed the day driving back to the house.

I highly recommend Stans charter for lots of reasons, but his love for the water and passing on knowledge stands at the front of that list.

I will not hesitate to work with Stan again on a mission to slay some big fish.

Thank you sir.

I live in Berkeley and was looking for a place to bring my brother fishing. He was coming from out of town and loves being out on the water. We chose Quetzal Adventures because of price point, availability, location, and good reviews. Booking was easy, and Stan got back to us within hours with clear instructions on how to get to the dock, even though we were booking last minute. You can tell he loves fishing, and it is contagious. He’s lived and worked many other lives but does charter fishing because he loves sharing his joy of fishing with others. We had a tough start and had only a few small fish as we approached the end of our time but thankfully he stuck with it, poured us some drinks, turned up the music. Soon after, our luck changed. He found a school of fish and we ended up bringing in 3 large (and delicious) striped bass as well as plenty of throwbacks that were just as fun. My brother had a blast and is already talking about our next trip out on the water. Would strongly recommend.

I didn’t know what to expect this is my first time chartering a boat. Captain Stan’s boat super clean I was surprised how clean it was . He had plenty of drinks,he was very informative. Help out on teaching us how to troll for striped bass . we did a half-day trip but we ended up staying most of the day and we actually caught three fish. He was really easy to talk to and we went a variety of places to make sure we got the best fish I would definitely recommend Captain Stan and I am planning to go out again with him in the fall for salmon fishing
