San Diego Sport Fishing - Parker 23 (2011)

Fish with us on our 23 Parker pilothouse with Yamaha 4-stroke, a 65 gallon bait tank, and Simrad navigation/sonar. Experience some of San Diego's best fishing with a wide range of trip options tailored for every angler. This fleet offers everything from quick 4-hour shoreline sessions to full-day offshore trips targeting some of Southern California's premier species. Choose a half day or 3/4 day coastline trip to chase local favorites along San Diego's productive inshore and nearshore waters. Step up to specialized options like 3/4 day shark trips or runs to the legendary Coronados Islands, known for steady action and gorgeous scenery. For serious offshore anglers, full day and trophy bluefin trips deliver the chance to battle world-class bluefin tuna, swordfish, and pelagics in deep water. Seasonal lobster and lobster combo trips offer a unique San Diego experience at night, and whale watch excursions provide a relaxed alternative on the water. If you're interested in any of the 12-hour full day, trophy bluefin, swordfish, or lobster combo trips, please send a quick message before booking. These extended trips require coordination around weather, fishing conditions, and timing, and we're happy to walk you through what to expect and confirm availability. Whether you're after a quick bite or an all-day hunt offshore, we provide well-equipped boats, experienced captains, and access to San Diego's top fisheries. Our boats are fully equipped with Yamaha outboards, Seeker rods, Shimano reels, oversize bait tanks, Simrad GPS/sonar/radar, and extra cooler space to ice your catch as soon as they hit the deck. With cruising speeds of 18-27kts (20-32mph) and 3-5 scoop bait capacity, this is set up for the serious offshore angler. Safety is our top priority.
