I booked a private charter with Bubba Sportfishing as an anniversary present for my husband. My husband couldn't stop smiling the whole time. Karen made the booking and payment super easy and Mike put us on the fish. My husband caught a personal California Halibut. Captain Mike is super knowledgeable and very helpful. Thanks for the great memories. We highly recommend Bubba Sportfishing!

Captain Mike truly made a lasting memory for my daughter and me. We reeled in a 24" Halibut and a few others. We're definitely looking forward to doing this again.

Mike was absolutely fantastic! He provided us with a wealth of information about the harbor as we set out for our fishing trip. He quickly guided us to some prime fishing locations, and we stayed on those hot spots throughout the day. We managed to reel in an impressive 21 fish in just 4 hours, including a variety of bass, a couple of halibut, a bat ray, and other unique catches. It was a truly enjoyable experience, and Mike was always there to assist with whatever was required. We'll definitely be booking with him again! A solid 5-star experience!
