    We fish with Brian and Jose two times a year, and we love it! They do not overcrowd the boat and are 100% attentive to everyone on board. We caught a bunch of striped sea bass and halibut and everyone had a blast

    Brian and Al were absolutely fantastic - professional, funny, and very good at getting us on the fish. The dock is easy to get to and parking is a breeze with the validation option. The boat is spacious and clean, and the gear is in great shape. Brian gives a great introduction to anyone new to fishing and is very patient. We received immaculate filets at the end of our trip and great cooking tips from Al!

    We had an amazing tour that went under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz, they slowed down at the points of interest and we were able to see dolphins swimming. The crew was super nice and welcoming, all in all great experience!

    What a wonderful way to spend the day! Do yourselves a favor and book a trip with these guys, you'll have to get up early and you'll be there into the afternoon. DRINK COFFEE. There is a bathroom on board, everything is clean and sanitized between people. They provide everything you need to have a great day fishing including cleaning the fish and giving you the filets if you catch one big enough ("big enough" varies between fish) all in all we caught 8 halibut between the 2 of us AND we went all around the bay, saw Alcatraz, the whole trip was well worth it ($200pp) **bring snacks!** Brian and Al are the best and helped with making us better fishers each place we went.
