I have been fishing for most of my life and consider the ocean to be my second home. At 17, I started deck-handing right out of high school, and at 20, took over running my first boat on the California coast. Now today, at 24 years old, we’ve become the premier 6 pack boat out of Half Moon Bay Ca.

You're not going to find anyone else who has as big a passion for fishing as my crew and I. I truly love what I do, and I make sure that the trip is enjoyable for everyone! Book your trip and let's catch the fish of a lifetime together!
