Charter Recommendations - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ship 4 brains · 12-30-2011, 06:58 AM

I am looking to charter a local boat for a trip in the spring.

Does anybody have a recommendation of a good charter boat/crew for an overnight trip for about 30 people, leaving from San Diego?

Thanks.

I would post this on bloodydecks.com, you'll get a sh*t load of responses and some might be from local captains/charter boat operators.

Honestly some of my friends are not gonna like me for saying this but:

springtime sd...

Book the pride with capt greg, a lot of mixed feelings but I have respect for the dude for being good to the kayak community for the most part and he's not playing follow the leader.

whats a charter boat?

I have had a little luck with charters on the Dominator out of Mission Bay.

Dominator is actually now at Point Loma. Frankie is still owning/running just has moved.

I have always been a fan of the Dominator since the first trip I worked on it with Pete. Other choices would be Greg on the Dolphin 2 or if you really want a great experience go with John, Shane, Jason, and the rest of the Islander crew. Theres a good reason we do all our motherships with these guys.

I agree with RK, the pride (capt. greg) good choice. I have fished this boat a couple times, greg is awsome and respects the kayak fisherman. He has alot of knowlage of the local waters and his crew is always great.
