The crew here consistently gets high marks for being friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, especially for first-timers. Deckhands like Jimmy and skippers like Noah and Captain Chris come up regularly in positive reviews, with guests appreciating their hands-on help and easygoing personalities. Half-day trips in particular seem to deliver a solid experience, with multiple people mentioning good catches and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere on the water. That said, a handful of reviewers on longer trips have flagged a recurring concern worth noting: some captains can be quiet and uncommunicative, leaving guests feeling out of the loop on where they're going and why. A few multi-hour trips also came back with little to no catch and limited effort to switch things up. If you're booking a short excursion with the right crew, the odds of a great day seem pretty good. For longer overnight adventures, it may be worth doing a bit more research before committing.
Went out recently for my 40th birthday and had an absolute blast! The Captain was one of the best we've ever fished under in San Diego. He was positive, knowledgeable, not afraid to move to get and stay on fish. Great trip all around!
