We loved it! Saw so much wildlife: sea lions, dolphins, whales, and had some friendly pelicans spend the day with us. We caught more than we expected. The captain and his crew took such good care of us and made the day amazing. Highly recommend!

Captain Ray and Trevor kept us on the fish all day even with the storm. They made sure to reposition the boat to the best fishing spot always. Very friendly, very experienced, and very professional. These guys know what they’re doing and know where the fish are at!
