"SAC's mission is to promote tourism through marine recreation and education while protecting natural resources."

Sportfishing in San Diego

The recreational fishing industry was the focus of the annual San Diego Port Tenant's Association dinner this year. Opening remarks for the event were made by Mayor Kevin Falconer and the video above was shown highlighting our industry. 

WHALE WATCHING

 

Grey whales, blue whales, fin whales, and orcas all frequent the California coast. Whale-watching tours throughout the region offer trips ranging from three hours to ten days. In addition to viewing whales, passengers have the opportunity to see dolphins, sea lions, and other marine mammals in their natural habitats. 

SPORTFISHING

 

​The Eastern Pacific region boasts some of the finest local and offshore fishing in the world. With great weather year-round, and a one-of-a-kind fishing fleet, a memorable experience is available for all levels of anglers, from novice to experienced.
