love it...can't wait to go again. 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips
Sun, Jul 13, 08 12:00 PM	DebbieCheney	Female	30-39	Local	Family With Children
Fishing on the Clemente is such a great time. The captain, the cook, and the deck hands are all very nice and helpful. I am an amatuer fisher, at best, and still caught a few fish, and so did my 9 year old nephew. If your lines get crossed, if you lose your weights, or your hook, or catch a fish, the staff on board are there in an instant to help you. They have nets available too if you are lucky enough to catch a big daddy. Then on the way back to the harbor, the staff will filet your fish for you. Basically, all you do is show up. Everything is waiting there for you to bring fish home for the Barbeque.
Exciting, fun activity Catamaran Adventure Cruises

The catamaran felt safe and yet we had quite a ride with the waves running about 4-6 feet. We didn't see any whales but quite a few dolphins.
We had a fun and relaxing day 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

I'm not a fisherman and was therefore a bit stressed about tying hooks onto the lines and baiting these hooks. The crew on board the Clemente was extremely helpful, polite and courteous. They made the trip very enjoyable. They were great with my kids, teaching them about the different types of fish we were catching, baiting their hooks for them and tying any hooks for me. The crew did all of the "dirty work" for us and we simply had to drop the bait into the water. The meals were also reasonably priced.

Crew didn't really try to find the fish. Stopped chumming on second of third stop and only went 2 miles outside of harbor
Enjoyed the day! 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

We went out on a 1/2 day boat for my son's 10th birthday. There were 8 altogehter with two 10 year olds. The day was great. Beautiful weather. The captain announced my son's birthday on the loud speaker and everyone cheered. He got such a kick out of that. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast burrito from the gally was big and tasty! We didnt catch a great deal of fish, but we enjoyed the day very much and would go out with them again. Overall a fun day and a good experience.
Boat was crowded 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

I don't recommend taking the Tuesday trip because the boat was very crowded and the deckhands were not able to help everyone. Not many fish were caught on the day we went.
Cattle boat 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips
Tue, Jul 15, 08 10:00 AM	KenPerez	Male	40-49	Local	Family With Children
Now I know why its called a cattle boat. We were packed in like sardines. I was with 3 boys and could not find 4 spots to accommodate us. Way too crowded, even at 1/2 price on Tuesdays, it wasn't worth the drive. To add insult to injury, very slow day fishing.
Good family trip 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

I would do it again
Great for the money 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

If your looking for some fun that's under $100 per person. This is a great event. I had never been ocean fishing and wanted to try it, my frieands also. We had a great time caught a couple of fish, tried something new. The people and crew were wonderful. The boat was full, but still comfortable space for every one. I would not take my ACTIVE 12yr old on this adventure she would be bored. I'll do this again. Hopefully on a long run next time.

it was okay nice to go out to the water.I have a 5 and 10 year old child my 5 year old got really bored after the first hour but my daughter enjoyed it. We didn't see anything till just before the trip ended so it was a little long when all you can see is the ocean for miles.
No fish!! 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips
Wed, Jul 16, 08 10:00 AM	4663steve	Male	40-49	Local	Family With Children
There were six of us that went and 4 were children that have never caught a fish before so we were hoping that they would get a chance to catch something , but unforunately the fishing was not very good that day and only one of the Kids caught anything, oh well ,better luck next time.

We had a wonderful time on the fishing boat. This was our first time on an ocean fishing boat. Everyone we talked to at Dana Wharf were friendly and understanding to our complete lack of knowledge. Unfortunately we dident catch any fish but the kids had a great time and so did my wife and I. Thanks for the good time
Well organized, well executed 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

You can't be sure about the number of fish you will catch but you can be sure that's the only uncertainty. Here's what I expect when I'm taking personal time off with the family: 1. All of the planning, arranging and logistics are easy. 2. No "bait and switch" (no pun intended). 3. Staff are knowledgeable and pleasant. 4. Execution is timely and efficient. When that happens – if you don’t have a good time it’s your own fault! We had a great time.
YOU WILL SEE OCEAN MAMMALS Whale Watching in Grey Whale Season (Dec - Apr)
Sun, Jul 20, 08 5:30 PM	devered	Male	50-59	Local	Family With Children
As usual the Capt's enthusiasm for showing his guests the great mammals of the ocean paid off - two huge pods of dolphin with young, a small pod of Rizzo dolphin and a memorable encounter with a Blue Whale which thanks to the Capt's hard work we saw on the surface 4 times. The nice thing about this trip is that the Capt. and his crew really care and are knowledgeable about these animals and want their guests to see them - we'll be going again when the greys come by
