About Ventura Harbor Sportfishing

Phone: +1-805-676-3474
Price Range: $$
Rating: 3.4★ (8 TripAdvisor)

Ventura Harbor Sportfishing operates from 1500 Anchors Way Drive under the business entity 976-TUNA.COM LLC, branded publicly as Ventura Sportfishing. Skipper Tucker McCombs acquired the landing in 2019 and has expanded the fleet and modernized operations since; the website notes its boats have "been fishing these waters for over 60 years," consistent with the 1963 harbor opening.

Fleet

The current fleet runs four to six vessels from 38 to 70 feet. Core boats:

Island Spirit — 70 by 22 feet, the landing's largest, half-day trips under Captain Cody Rogers
Californian — 65 by 20 feet, full-day trips under Captain Cody Rogers
Endeavor — 60 by 20 feet, owned and operated by Captain Tucker McCombs; 22 air-conditioned bunks and a full galley serving up to 24 on overnight and multi-day trips
Pacific Eagle — 55 by 19 feet, full-day and overnight under Captain Mike Mings

Trip types

Trip menu covers half-day, full-day, and overnight runs to Anacapa, Santa Cruz Island, and the Santa Barbara Channel platforms. 2026 published pricing from the booking system: half-day on the Island Spirit is $110; full-day on the Californian is $130 and on the Pacific Eagle is $150; the Endeavor overnight targeting "White Seabass, Halibut & Rockfish" is $280, departing 10 PM and returning 7 PM the following day.

Recent reports

A two-day Endeavor trip on April 21, 2026 returned "200 Rockfish, 40 Lingcod, 9 Halibut" for 20 anglers. The landing's 2025 totals included 1,195 California halibut, 1,860 white seabass, and 40,157 rockfish — a mixed inshore/islands program that runs year-round.

Reviews

TripAdvisor rates Ventura Sportfishing 3.4 of 5 across 8 reviews. A May 2022 reviewer wrote that "Captain Mike and his deckhands Frenchie and Jim really care for the boat… Captain Mike and the Pacific Eagle set the bar." An October 2020 group credited Captain Cody for "taking us to some good spots."
