Its been a few weeks, but wanted to ensure I wrote this review and tell Captain Will thanks again for the great trip. First - Will was able to confirm a quick fishing trip on short notice and we agreed to make it work at bit later in the afternoon. We met and after a stop to get bait we were quickly catching fish. Will was informative, helpful and patient with 2 kids and 4 adults on board. We moved a few times to stay in areas where the fish were biting and he also stopped and pointed out countless pods of dolphins. I checked the reviews before booking - and I'm so happy we were able to make it work! Don't overthink this decision - Captain will is the guy you want to go with for a private fishing/dolphin/whale tour. We never felt uncomfortable and his boat had plenty of space for all of us. Oh, and If you book with Will, ask him about the guy with a metal wallet that ended up at the bottom of the ocean....

Captain Will took us out this morning to scatter the ashes of our mom, dad, grandma, aunt and uncle. It was a perfect experience. He steered us right where we wanted off the coast of Laguna Beach, listened respectfully as we laughed and cried and told stories, found us dolphins and seals, held the bottle of champagne, searched out Sinatra and Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Rolling Stones to accompany the experience, and gave us a family send off that exceeded our expectations. Many many thanks. Heartily recommend. Mary, Chuck, Liz and Paul

My boufriend and I found Off the Grid boat rentals on Google while vacationing in San Clemente. We ended up booking and the experience was by far our favorite part of the trip. When we arrived Captain Will was so personable & inviting. He told us he heard about a pot of killer whales & asked if we wanted to check it out. Not only did we have a once in a lifetime experience seeing orcas, but we also saw sea lions & SO many dolphins (swimming right by our boat too) 🦭🐬 Will knew all of the best spots and we are so happy we picked someone with such a wealth of local knowledge and love for boating. He offered us blankets, local recommendations, & even made us a video to keep. Seriously- Book this!!

Overall great experience!! Can’t wait to do it again!! My family and I try to go fishing once or twice a year we’ve done several different small charters and this is by far the best! It was so nice to have a bathroom, a tv, and all the other accommodations they have. We will be back. Thank you captain anton!!

Second time doing a fishing run with captain Anton and his crew. The trip was amazing once again, during the trip captain Anton gave me some tips and was more than helpful. Him and his crew made me and my family feel like a friend and not a client. Overall the location and the fishing was amazing. thank you for a great experience!!
