What kind of fish can we catch?
We fish for salmon, halibut, striped bass, sharks, bat rays, ling cod, rock fish, and dungeness crab
What if we don’t want to keep any fish?
We do offer catch and release fishing. We normally target sharks for catch and release fishing as sharks are the most resilient.
Should we worry about seasickness?
Each individual reacts differently to being on the water. If you can consult your doctor ahead of time, that’s always the best best preparation. Some over the counter products such as Bonine or Dramamine are sold to help prevent motion sickness.
ABOUT
I am a San Francisco Native and I became interested in boats through my mother’s love of SCUBA diving. I traveled to remote spots and lived on boats or near them for months on end. My original plan was to retire-ish somewhere and run a dive company. During Covid, I started open water swimming in San Francisco bay and my interest in boats was renewed. I decided that I would start my retirement plan immediately and start this charter boat company in my home town. I would love the opportunity to take you out on the SF bay and its Tributaries to Swim, Fish, Sightsee, or Bird.
