Captain Steve and his wife own and operate their charter business. Their goal is to give you and your crew the best time possible!

Captain Steve has been fishing since he was a child and always wanted to fish for a living. After giving up his suit and tie, he’s now living the dream. In 2017, he fished over 300 days of the year and hopes to keep it up with the help of new customers. He can’t wait to share his passion with you and help you live out your fishing dreams.

About Your Trip

Capt. Steven welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your boat for the day is a 47’ Convertible that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

We will be targeting: Amberjack, Pacific Barracuda, Calico Bass, California Sheephead, Dolphin Mahi Mahi, Halibut, Rockfish, White Seabass, Mako Shark, Thresher Shark, Yellowfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, and more are in the cards if conditions are right. On the day of your trip you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

We had a great time fishing. The boat was amazing and the captain and his mate lots of fun and made our entire trip enjoyable. I strongly recommend using this charter service. They kept us in the loop from the moment we made our reservation.
