04 / A little more detail
Charters typically pursue salmon, halibut, lingcod, rockfish, and Dungeness crab (in season). Each trip varies depending on the time of year, weather, and local regulations. If you have a particular species in mind, please mention this when enquiring so we can advise on timing and possible options.
Whale watching is best during the migration seasons, typically winter through spring for gray whales and late spring into summer for humpback whales. Exact timing may vary year to year, and we recommend checking with our crew for current sightings and upcoming tour dates.
We recommend comfortable layered clothing, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. For fishing trips, all tackle and gear are included, but you may bring your own if preferred. Binoculars and basic refreshments are generally provided on wildlife tours; ask about additional options for private or extended trips.
The vessel is reserved privately for your group, departing to a dedicated area off the coast near Bodega Bay. The ceremony is conducted with respect and privacy, following local regulations. Specific wishes for the service can be discussed during your enquiry to ensure appropriate arrangements.
