About Your Trip

Get ready for an exciting day on the water with Captain Ken, targeting Halibut and Striped Bass from March through October! This fully private, guided fishing charter is perfect for groups of up to 6 people, offering a personalized experience for anglers of all skill levels.

Captain Ken will take you to the best spots in the San Francisco Bay and surrounding waters, where you'll use drift fishing and trolling techniques to reel in these prized species. Halibut are known for their strong fight and tasty fillets, while Striped Bass are famous for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs.

All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided, and you'll fish aboard a comfortable, spacious boat equipped with an onboard bathroom for added convenience.

Your comfort is key on this trip, and Captain Ken's boat has everything you need for a smooth, enjoyable experience—even in the cooler months. Thanks to Seakeeper technology, the boat remains stable and comfortable, reducing roll on choppy days so you can focus on fishing. There’s also a spacious onboard bathroom, making it a great trip for families or anyone who wants to spend a full day out on the water without sacrificing comfort.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
