Hook's Landing operates out of 3600 South Harbor Boulevard inside Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, billed across the operator's own pages and the harbor directory as a fourth-generation family sportfishing business. The landing books three boats — the Coroloma, Estella, and New Hustler — and runs a tackle shop and live-bait dock alongside the booking office.
