The current fishing is comprised of excellent Bonito fishing with some Yellowtail mixed in. The bite is largely starting on Jig Strikes and moving to fly lined sardines. This is going off on half day - 3/4 day trips. We can take 13 anglers on our larger boat. Our smaller boat is good for 5+ depending on trolling or drift fishing

Halibut and Bass is also productive inshore.

James and his deck hand were awesome! Made the trip easy, comfortable and very rewarding. We maxed out limit so left with a cooler filled. Will definitely use him again when we come back to the Bay Area, high recommend!

Trip: Rockfish/Crabbing
★★★★★
Amazing fishing trip! Shawn and Joe were fantastic. We brought our 8-year son along, and they were incredibly patient with him - even when he was going on and on about Pokemon, lol. The morning started out a little slow, but picked up about 3 hours in. We ended up landing two ono, one right as we were heading back in for the day. They let us keep as much of the fish as we wanted, and we enjoyed grilling it on the beach the next day. We also did some bottom fishing, which was a lot of fun for our son. He got to reel in several interesting little fish and stayed engaged the whole time. Overall, it was a great experience with a friendly, knowledgeable crew. Highly recommend!

Craig was amazing! I reached out the day before to ask some questions, he responded very quickly and took care of all my questions. We took out our 2 boys (5/7), and Craig was amazing with them. He put us in the right spot, taught us what to do, and the boys did the rest. He pointed us in the right direction as to where to get the crabs cooked, couldn't of asked for more. 100% recommend. We will do again if we're back in the area.

We had a great day! We counted 10 Jacks and a couple Mackerels. We could barely lift our arms after. Those Jacks fight! Our captain and first mate were great and knew their stuff. This was our highlight of PV. Thanks guys!

We had a great trip with Buoy and Chenta. Right on time start in the morning. Buoy is very knowledgeable about all the marine life and both he and Chenta were very observant and were able to locate dolphins and feeding fish. Both my daughter and I were able to reel in Jack Crevalle fish! They also showed us a school of rays we would not have noticed without their observations. We really enjoyed the snorkeling around coral island - the main reason for booking our sea adventure. We also enjoyed the short hike to an observation point. The trip was personalized to us -

Trip: Coral Island Excursion 🪸
★★★★★
We had an great experience out on the ocean with this guide. From the start, everything was well-organized and professional, but still laid-back enough to just enjoy the day. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and you could tell the guide really knew the water and where to find fish. We were on fish quickly, and the action stayed steady throughout the trip. The guide was great about helping when needed but also let us do our own thing, which made it even more enjoyable. Whether it was baiting hooks, giving tips, or netting fish, they were right there without overdoing it. What stood out most was the knowledge and effort—they clearly put in the time to make sure we had a successful trip. We ended up bringing home a solid catch and had a great time doing it. Highly recommend this guide if you’re looking for a fun, productive day on the ocean. I’d definitely book again.

Trip: Salmon, Bottom Fish& Dungeness Crab
★★★★★
Best way to spend my 40th birthday! We had a blast on the "Toda a Nada". The name says it all, "All or Nothing". Our Captain, Bruce was awesome and really put in the work to make sure we came home with fish in hand. When asked, "about what time does the charter end" his response was, "when we have fish in the boat". That's my kind of Captain! We did just that, pulled in 4 beautiful, hard-fighting, yellowtail. A total of 75 pounds. There was a processor there dock-side who took it straight from the boat to their shop. The next day our fish was cleaned and ready for pick-up. Great experience all around! Highly recommend!
