Guests will fish aboard a spacious 28-foot Parker boat, accommodating up to six people comfortably. The vessel is powered by twin 250HP Yamaha engines, allowing it to reach impressive speeds of over 40 knots. This means that guests will spend less time traveling and more time fishing.

Before setting out, guests are encouraged to ask Captain Tyja about what fish are in season and where they might have the best chance of landing a big catch. The waters around Bodega Bay are home to a variety of species, including Halibut, Lingcod, Tuna, Rockfish, White Seabass, and Salmon. Best of all, any fish caught during the trip belong to the guests, and the deckhand will clean and fillet the catch for free.


All necessary fishing equipment is provided by Captain Tyja, including high-quality rods, reels, and lures, making it easy for guests to focus on enjoying the experience. However, it's important for each guest to purchase their fishing license beforehand and bring along food and drinks for the day to stay refreshed and energized.

I took my 8-year-old son on his first fishing trip, and Captain Ty was fantastic. We reached our limit and had an amazing time together, creating countless memories.

December 3, 2024

I met with Captain Ty and Deckhand Nick, two hardworking individuals who handled everything for us. They cooked and cleaned our catch, getting it ready for transport to SoCal. It was a fantastic first-time experience for my wife and me, and we plan to return next year. Thanks, guys!

December 3, 2024

This trip was fantastic! Captain Ty and the deckhand were both friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. They genuinely cared about ensuring that everyone had a great experience and caught a variety of fish. We were thrilled to bring home our catch after the captain cleaned and filleted it for us upon request.

December 3, 2024

Despite having just three customers, Captain Ty decided to make the most of the perfect weather and calm seas. Instead of spending time on elusive salmon, he took us to fish for rockfish and lingcod, where we quickly hit our limit with impressively sized catches by noon. Both the captain and crew were friendly, helpful, and made the experience memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

December 3, 2024

The trip was fantastic! We reached our rockfish limit in no time, and even gave salmon a try, though it’s been slow lately. Both the captain and deckhand were friendly and eager to chat, making the experience even more enjoyable. Both were super helpful and easy to talk to. Can’t wait to head back out in November for crab and rockfish!

December 3, 2024

Ty and Nick make an awesome team—friendly, helpful, and full of energy! They really go the extra mile to make sure you get your money’s worth. They made my first time fishing on the bay and on a boat such a fun experience.
