Gerry is family friendly and an exceptional host. He follows the rules of fishing and keeps his boat clean and safe for others to use. He’s patient and great fishing with children; giving pointers, and keeping them safe by giving the do’s and don’t's. His communication skills were professional answering my calls and text messages in a timely manner which was helpful for me because this was our first time fishing on a boat and I had no clue what I needed to bring or do. We caught plenty of fish and took some home to eat. We started at 6am and took a break on the Island around 12pm. We got burgers for lunch and candy from the candy shop. My entire family enjoyed the experience and we definitely will be fishing with Gerry again when we return to California! Definitely worth the money I paid ! Thank you Gerry!! This is from the Shines family and we appreciate you 💚💯

P.S. We seen Bold Eagles, Seals and a school of dolphins and they were beautiful 😍

Captain Gerry is the G.O.A.T.!!! We sincerely had the best time, the kids caught more fish in a matter of minutes than they’ve caught throughout the entirety of their lives! Gerry was attentive but also allowed some autonomy for the kids to enjoy themselves and hone in on their skills. He took the time to make sure the kids were aware of any safety concerns - sharp bony plate on the sand bass, etc. and he made sure to wipe down wet areas to ensure no one slipped. This guy knows how to hustle, and that was so appreciated because I could relax and watch the kids enjoy themselves, take photos/video and join in when I desired. He’s obviously very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the area, types of fish, etc. We were able to catch a quick view of a turtle, some dolphins, a pesky seal - we enjoyed every minute. Would highly recommend, don’t hesitate to book - we are hoping to return another time if we find ourselves in the area. I didn’t even care that I accidentally let my cell phone slip overboard because it was such a relaxing and wonderful experience. Thanks for the memories, Gerry!

May 12-year-old son and I had an amazing trip with Captain Gerry out to Catalina Island. If we do not get a fish within two minutes of our line being water it was a disappointment. The captain had us on the fish from the moment we stopped until we left. We caught everything including a shark! And my son caught a huge 28 inch halibut.Gerry wasn’t an amazing captain and we even saw a school of dolphins coming back to Long Beach. I cannot more highly recommend this Charter.

Excellent, Captain Gerry had us on fish and had us busy all day with different spots and was ready with live bait and all tackle and poles to throw lures, awesome adventure
