It’s great for friends getting away, family vacations, or just a good ol’ adventure. Sportfishing is also for anyone who enjoys the challenge of catching “the big one”. The SAC fleet is set up to accommodate all ages and experience levels.

Types of fishing trips?

  • Trip types vary depending on the number of days and type of activity. There are anywhere from ½ Day trips-12 Day Adventures.
  • ½ day-whole day-Charter boats fish in more local waters. They mainly target rockfish, sea bass, yellowtail, and your occasional tuna when the schools are closer to shore
  • 1day-3day- Charter boats fish near and far to find the best catch for their anglers. There are sleeping accommodations on the boat and a chef for your dinning needs. These trips are great for all levels of fisherman.
