Pricing

Posted 2026 pricing: half-day $77–$83, full-day $248, multi-day $719–$3,105 depending on duration.

Recent reports

The Mission Belle produced 68 yellowtail for 29 passengers at the Coronado Islands on April 20, 2026, with "yoyo jigs and dropper loops" most effective, and opened its 2026 season March 14. On March 16, 2026 a Point Loma half-day returned with 43 whitefish, 6 sculpin, 6 sheephead, and 5 barred sand bass.

Reviews

Califcat623 (July 27, 2023) wrote that on a trip aboard the El Capitan the crew "hit bluefin limits — Captain Alan found the sweet spot." Stefan M (October 6, 2018) described the Game Changer as a "spectacular! 70 foot brand new renovated vessel for 6-pack trips" with "real private staterooms, incredibly spacious."
