3/18/2013 The reason Captins Charters are so sucessful are the Captains and deck hands. they were johnie on the spot, when any passenger needed anything they were right there. Additionally, 32mi off shore we had a fish on and the fish decided to tangle all the lines. The crew had that mess fixed in about 10 min and we still... More

I apologize that you have this perception of our company and that you did not have an enjoyable time. I would however like to clear a couple of misconceptions up. The Ocean Captain is NOT the slowest boat on the bay front and the other boats take about the same time to travel to the halibut grounds as the Ocean... More

This was my first time bottom fishing. It was a gift for my husband and I, and the adventure was well worth it (even though I did get seasick). Four of us went, and we had a blast! The captain was very skilled in operating the boat, very helpful on deck, and very friendly. The deckhand, Stephen was the most... More

I and my group have been out with Captain's Reel on several occasions. The only complaint I ever have with them is Mother Nature! She doesn't always cooperate. The prices are fair and the customer service was excellent. Captain's Reel has always made it a priority to give us the best experience possible. Thanks for the fun. We'll see you... More

I'm all about the fish and Capt. Gerald put us on fish. I got three doubles and my limit of Rocks in about an hour. On the trip most people who put for the effort to learn the how to turn short bites into hookups got limits of Rock and a number of people caught Lings as well. A few... More

I've been fishing and crabbing with this company quite a few times and have had a blast every time!! All the crews I've been out with were great and the owner is friendly, knowledgeable and honest. In fact, yesterday's trip we wanted to throw out a bunch of crab pots and she let us know the crabbing had not been... More

My partner and I took a rock fishing charter, and I had the time of my life! I'm the first person in my family to fish in the ocean or to catch a bass, and the entire crew made sure I had a memorable experience from start to finish. Even though one of the families on board was homophobic, none... More

I will not charter with anyone else again. I am a female and usually do these trips alone. Captain's Reel made it easy for me. The office staff are friendly and treat you like family. The boat crew members are fantastic, they treated me with respect and were patient with me as well. When I got back with my catch,... More
