San Francisco Bay’s premier sport fishing charter boat

Our new 56 Foot Vessel is the most highly recommended fishing charter boat in San Francisco Bay. Our level of service and dedication has earned our fishing trips more 5 Star Yelp and TripAdvisor reviews than any other fishing charter boat in San Francisco.

San Francisco Fishing Charter is excited to announce a very special addition to our fleet. Our new 56 foot charter boat takes fishing comfortably to a whole new level. Built in by Westport Shipyards in 1980 and completely refitted in 2022, she is annually inspected by the U. S. Coast Guard, and is certified to carry up to 49 passengers (non-fishing trips only). Her safety equipment and standards exceed all of the U.S.C.G requirements as well as being outfitted with the very latest navigation and fish finding electronics available. With a cruising speed of 16 knots, a spacious deck and a clean, heated cabin (with restroom), she is the ideal vessel for your custom San Francisco charter boat experience.

Our fishing charters are geared towards a fun, comfortable experience for anglers of all skills and ages. Our charters carry a maximum of 14 passengers, guaranteeing each guest the simple luxury of elbow room, inside and out, and the personal attention of the crew. San Francisco’s waters offer excellent charter fishing for salmon, halibut, striped bass, shark, sturgeon, lingcod, and rock fish. Our primary goal is to help you catch fish in the most comfortable conditions available.

Testimonies

We had the most incredible fishing trip with San Francisco Fishing Charters!!

My family and I went on a full day private fishing charter with the hope to catch salmon…and we ended up catching six huge ones! Brian & Jose were incredible hosts– they were so helpful with setting up our fishing rods, explaining the patterns of salmon, and working with us to reel in the fish. It was truly the most epic day on the water– we will definitely be back for more adventures with this fantastic group.

Who knew fishing could be so fun! We had an amazing day with Brian & Jose! From the moment that we arrived until the moment we returned they were both accommodating and helpful.
I did a lot of research before booking with San Francisco Fishing Charters and we no doubt booked the best charter there is. We went on a full day salmon trip and came back with 3 big fish! It was a perfect day out on the water. Brian & Jose are the best hosts, they help with setting up the fishing rods, explain how deep they’ve dropped the lines and why, helping with hooking bait and everything in between. We learned about the salmon patterns, observed their maps and navigation gadgets, etc!
Their boat is immaculately maintained, too! We will for sure be back for some more fun with these two! Thank you Brian & Jose!!!!

San Francisco Fishing Charter is a top notch operation.  Brian and his crew were friendly and extremely helpful to the novices that were in our group.  It was quite obvious that they were also very knowledgeable and experienced.  I have been on both of the boats and they are very clean and comfortable.  I would not hesitate to book another fishing trip with these guys!

San Francisco Fishing Charter gave me and my family a fantastic fishing trip. Brian and his brother Jose are very smart fishermen, and actually gave my party an upgrade from a half-day of rock fish to a half-day of salmon fishing; because they knew where a close fishing site was located and had success there the last couple of days. They made the whole experience very relaxing and comfortable by getting all the rods and bait ready, so that we only had to worry about bringing in the fish and not about whether we had the right gear or bait. Our whole boat hit our limit of Salmon. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Best Fishing Charter We’ve Ever Booked!

My family (wife, and three teenage children) visited San Francisco from Texas for Spring Break and high point of trip was our Charter with Brian and Jose, brothers, who own and operate SF fishing Charter. I always try to charter a fishing trip on all coastal vacations and this one was the best in terms of the guides and the boat that we’ve been on. My 11 year old was able to hook and bring in a large slot sturgeon and we also caught about 8 striped bass. There isn’t much I can say more positively about this operation that the other reviewers on trip advisor and YELP have already said, so I will simply add to the others and HIGHLY recommend these guys if you are looking for a SF Bay Fishing Trip!
