We took a day fishing trip to Catalina with Captain Shant as a family—my partner and our two boys, ages 9 and 11—and had a fantastic time. Shant was welcoming, helpful, and great with the kids the entire day. We stopped at the island for lunch, then spent the afternoon fishing before heading back. We were joined by seals, pelicans, and even dolphins along the way. The seals definitely took their share of our catch in the afternoon! Highly recommend booking a trip with Shant for families—we're already planning to come back for Bluefin this summer. Thanks again, Shant!

Captain James is the real deal. Not because we caught two 200 pound yellowfin, but because he cares about you having a good time while he works diligently to find you fish. Top notch boat, equipment and Captain. If you get a chance to book an Aquiline charter do it. You will be pleasantly surprised. Captain James wants you to catch fish more than you do. Very professional operation. Five stars!

Had a great day on the water. Kevin did an amazing job putting us on the fish and in just under 4 hours we hauled it 40 fish. If your looking to spend the day on the water fishing look no further it’s well worth the money to make the memories.
