Activity Description
Spend a relaxing day on the beautiful Monterey Bay, fishing for Snapper or one of the many species of Cod that inhabit our local waters.

  • Cod is the common name for many species of fish. Ling Cod, Olives, Coppers, Vermillions and Rockfish are some of the most abundant species in the area.
  • Our boats, the Velocity and Princess comfortably carry over 30 fishermen aboard each vessel. They feature a full service galley where you can buy both breakfast and lunch items as well as your favorite beer.
  • Fish at depths from 30 to 100 feet up the coast of Santa Cruz and catch up to 10 Rock Cod and 2 Ling Cod!
This popular trip will surely yield plenty of fish for the frying pan. Whether you're a beginner or an old pro, our courteous crews will make your day both fun and memorable. We'll even use live bait, when available.

Trips usually last between 6 and 8 hours. The length of each trip depends heavily upon the "bite,” meaning if everyone catches their limit early, we will return early.
