What a wonderful way to spend the day! Do yourselves a favor and book a trip with these guys, youll have to get up early and youll be there into the afternoon. DRINK COFFEE. There is a bathroom on board, everything is clean and sanitized between people. They provide everything you need to have a great day fishing including cleaning the fish and giving you the filets if you catch one big enough (big enough varies between fish) all in all we caught 8 halibut between the 2 of us AND we went all around the bay, saw Alcatraz, the whole trip was well worth it ($200pp) **bring snacks!** Brian and Al are the best and helped with making us better fishers each place we went.

Brian at San Francisco fishing charters was AWESOME! He was able to fit myself and 3 sons in last minute due to a cancellation and gave us a great day to remember for a lifetime! We booked a half day trip and he immediately sent us info to prepare us down to the last detail. He was helpful and accommodating to any and all hiccups and got us out for an on time departure headed directly for fish! He had coffee ready and a nice, clean and cozy cabin. Within minutes of arriving to our spot, We were shown every detail to ensure our success and along with that were given any and all assistance. And succeed we did! A couple of hours and we had a limit of our target fish and got to go for a bonus target. We were able to get a few of those too before heading back! I can’t say enough about the quality service and great experience and memories that my boys and I will share for the rest of our lives!

I’m giving Brian a five star and I have not even been on the boat yet. I’m telling you, booking this upcoming trip (Aug. 15) on their big boat for 10 fishermen was such a pleasure, and stress free event.. We are booked, paid in full and excited to catch some Salmon..The deck hands will be happy to meet us.. We take care of hard working Deck Hands..San Francisco here we come, see you on the 15th

Took my husband shark fishing for his birthday on8/24/21. He caught 6 sharks and I caught 4.I had never fished before and Brian was extremely helpful and patient with me. It was a wonderful day,the other 3 men fishing were extremely nice and the boat was immaculate. It was very clean and Brian made sure the bathroom was cleaned after each person used it and he kept hosing the floors down.A great experience. I would highly recommend Brianand his fishing charter.

Exceptional fishing experience! Jose and Mel were awesome, and so attentive to ensure that we had fresh bait at all times. Jose was great in providing in depth explanations about particular fishing spots and techniques. Overall my wife and I had a great experience. Better than any fishing charter that we had experienced back at home in Australia.

I went fishing once with Brian a few years ago and once again today. Both times were an absolute blast. Brian knows the bay well and is a friendly guy. It doesnt hurt that we caught a ton of fish both times!

I wasnt sure what to expect going shark fishing in SF Bay, but it was really enjoyable and Brian and Jose were calm, fun & knowledgable. Within 5 minutes of dropping our lines the sharks were biting, talk about a good spot! There was a lot of action! I would definitely rebook with this outfit if I make it back to SF.

I have been on about a dozen charters over the years and this was by far the best. Extremely professional and great and patient with my family, some of whom had never fished before. We are already planning our return. We hit limits for all and had a blast

These guys were absolutely awesome! They took care of everything, all we had to do was catch fish and have fun. I found them by searching through reviews like this one, and had such a good time I felt compelled to write one myself. We will be back!

We hosted a fishing birthday party and these guys were real pros! They were extremely hospitable and highly knowledgeable about fishing. My dad is a fishing guide and I was thoroughly impressed with this crew. The boat was VERY clean and has plenty of room. We caught lots of bass and halibut, and Brian and Joses filleting skills are impressive! HIGHLY recommend.

I went out with Brian and Jose for a birthday trip with some friends and family. It was better than anything I could have expected. These guys are awesome at what they do and it was SO worth it. We caught multiple striped bass and rockfish. It was so fun and these guys really made sure we all had a good time. I cant wait to go again with them. As other reviews said, they were extremely clean and very hospitable.

I had a very good feeling about this trip. We were 5 on the boat and everyone caught many fish even so someone brought a banana on board.I have been fishing since I can remember, going fishing with Brian and his Brother on their huge, confortable and well equipped boat was one of my best fishing experience.Stephen and I will not forget that day.Thank you very much.

Best time ever! Brian and Jose will work to make your day amazing. Their genuine personalities will meet you at whatever skill level you are. They are always encouraging. Ive been on five charters with them and cant wait for number six! Do yourself a favor and book this charter!P.s. they also created a clean environment on the boat. Hand sanitizer, encouraging people to wash hands, cleaning the bathroom after each use. I felt safe.

After a half day of fishing we had a great time and a medium sized cooler full of fish. The boat was very comfortable and had lots of room. Brian and his brother did a great job and made the experience lots of fun. Would recommend.

Brian and Jose are the best! Wes and I had a great day on the Bay with them. They make you feel very comfortable on the boat, and will put you on the fish! I hope to charter with them again, and highly recommend that you do the same.

I had some friends visiting from Denmark who were looking for their first fishing experience in the Pacific Ocean. We caught more fish than we could even count! Brian and Jose were exceptional and made the trip so easy and fun. They were constantly assisting us making sure that we had poles in the water at all times so that we could catch as many fish as possible. Great gentlemen running a fantastic business and some good old fashioned fun. HIGHLY recommend SF Fishing Charters, thanks Brian and Jose!

My 10-year-old fishing-obsessed son and I live in the SF Bay Area and we decided to try this out. In November striper fishing is the thing, apparently, so we went for that. It did not disappoint! Brian and Jose were fantastic guides (safe, friendly, helpful) and were great with my son. We pulled up so many fish that at some point I needed a break! We had a blast. Highly recommend.

Awesome fishing experience. Brian and Jose made us feel welcome and comfortable. They were extremely knowledgeable and experienced. They provided all of the quality equipment and the boat was really nice and clean. They timed the trip perfectly so we could catch the most fish. Our boat got 6 bass and a large sturgeon. Will definitely return!

Awesome fishing expedition with exceptional and knowledgeable fishing instructors! Brian and Jose were so awesome that they made sure my 80 year old dad and my sister (first time on a fishing boat) were comfortable and having lots of fun. Thanks again Brian and Jose for a great time and a bucket list crossed out for my 80 year old dad of catching the bigger fish than his son. Thanks again!

I took my Dad fishing with San Francisco Fishing Charter as an early Fathers Day present, and he loved it! Brian was friendly, accommodating, and professional. He and his brother went out of their way to help us to have a great day out on the water. They were so patient with me while I caught my first fish! As a bonus, we saw amazing views of the bay area. I totally recommend this EXCELLENT experience!

Brian and Jose were excellent guides on our half day fishing charter in the SF Bay. First, we fished for Striped Bass and caught our boats limit within about an hour! Then, we spent the rest of the time fishing halibut. We caught many (maybe 15 or so) which was fun for me and my two boys aged 13 and 15. We only kept 3 halibut, and the rest went back to catch another day. I also caught a small rock fish and a shark! Another highlight was the boys feeding the skins and bones from the filleted fish to the eager sea lion at the dock. I plan to come back soon and go out on the ocean to fish, past the bay. Thanks, Brian and Jose for a great time!

Brian and Jose charter the best boat in the Bay Area. Brian has been on a boat since he was a kid and knows the area better than anyone. Why is this important? We went out to catch striped bass and were in the general area of 10-12 other boats. We caught the boat quota in less than an hour while the other boats were not reeling anything up. Why? It is easy, Brian and Jose know the tides and how to work the bait in those tides to catch the fish. At one point we had to use the net to bring in 2-3 fish in one swoop because they were biting so much. I have used Brian and Jose 3 times now all for different fish; shark, salmon and striped bass. All three times it was an enormous success and a great day out in the boat. Want to have a great day in an amazing setting? Call Brian and Jose - they are the best in the business.

Our family had a GREAT time fishing recently with Capt Brian & his brother. We caught 3 large salmon and took home over 40 lbs of fish filets. Fishing was fabulous but our teenage son said feeding the sea lion our fish scraps was the best part of his entire week in San Fran!!

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.

Highly recommended! Brian and Jose are friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Caught a mess of fish including four keeper sturgeon on our trip (released). I would suggest booking with them if taking the wife or girlfriend. The boat is well stocked and extremely clean and has a well-appointed bathroom. Thanks guys!

I researched several other charters for our mother and daughter fishing trip and I am so pleased we chose these guys. Brian and Jose are well organized, professional, accommodating, fun and they know how to get you on the fish. My mom caught her limit and we threw back so many that I lost count. This particular day other boats where having difficult catching any fish at all! The boat was very nice and clean. I felt safe with Brian at the wheel and it was obvious he is an experienced captain and fisherman. Brian and Jose were able to answer most all of our questions about fishing, cooking, landscape and the city. They did everything for us, but also allowed us to do things ourselves if we wanted. We felt free to move around on the boat and have fun. I highly recommend Fishin’ Game to anyone looking for a fun day fishing with an experienced crew and anyone who wants to catch a ton of fish. My freezer is packed with fish now!
