San Diego 5 Day Private Offshore Charter

San Diego 5-Day Private Offshore Charter

Picture this: five straight days aboard a luxury 65-foot sportfisher with nothing but open ocean, your favorite fishing buddies, and some of the best offshore waters on the West Coast. The Prenuptial Agreement isn't your average charter boat – she's a floating basecamp designed for serious anglers who want to fish hard and relax in style. With room for just six guests, you'll have the entire vessel to yourselves, complete with spacious decks, high-end amenities, and a professional crew that knows these waters like the back of their hand. We're talking about a true San Diego deep sea fishing adventure that combines the thrill of offshore sportfishing with the comfort of a premium private charter experience.

What to Expect on the Water

This isn't a quick day trip – it's a proper fishing expedition that lets you really get into the rhythm of offshore life. You'll push off from Seaforth Marina at 6 a.m. sharp, and from there, the Pacific becomes your playground. We're talking about everything from the kelp forests off La Jolla to the deep blue waters beyond Point Loma, depending on what's biting and where the fish are showing up. The beauty of having five full days is that you can adapt to conditions, chase different species, and really dial in your technique without feeling rushed. One day you might be working the inshore structure for rockfish and lingcod, the next you could be trolling the blue water for pelagics. The 65-foot platform gives you stability and comfort that smaller boats just can't match, especially when you're spending multiple days on the water. Your crew will handle navigation, fish finding, and all the technical stuff while you focus on what you came for – putting fish in the boat.

Techniques & Tackle Setup

San Diego offshore fishing is all about versatility, and this extended trip gives you time to master different approaches. We'll be running a mix of trolling spreads for pelagics, bottom fishing on structure, and live bait techniques depending on conditions and target species. The boat comes equipped with top-shelf electronics including fish finders, GPS, and radar, so we can locate schools and structure with precision. For trolling, we'll typically run a spread of lures and rigged baits at varying depths, covering water efficiently while searching for active fish. When we find them, we can switch to live bait or iron jigs to really capitalize on the bite. The deck layout on the Prenuptial Agreement is designed for serious fishing – plenty of rod storage, large fish boxes, and clear fighting areas so multiple anglers can work fish without getting tangled up. Bottom fishing requires different tactics entirely, with heavy sinkers and short, stout rods to pull fish up from depth. Your crew will rig everything properly and coach you through the techniques, whether you're a seasoned pro or still learning the ropes.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Yellowtail are the bread and butter of San Diego sportfishing, and these hard-fighting fish will test your stamina and technique. They typically range from 15 to 40 pounds in local waters, with the bigger models showing up around kelp beds and offshore seamounts. Spring through fall offers the most consistent action, though you can find them year-round if you know where to look. What makes yellowtail so exciting is their aggressive strikes and powerful runs – they'll scream line off your reel and make multiple long runs before you can get them to the boat. They're also excellent table fare, making them a favorite target for both sport and sustenance.

Bluefin tuna represent the pinnacle of San Diego offshore fishing, and when they're around, everything else takes a backseat. These torpedo-shaped fighters can range from 20-pound "rats" to massive 200-plus-pound giants that will challenge even experienced anglers. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall, though fish can show up unexpectedly throughout the year. The raw power and endurance of a bluefin is legendary – they'll take incredibly long runs, dive deep, and fight for 30 minutes to an hour or more. Landing one is a team effort that often requires backing down on the fish and careful boat handling by the crew.

Rockfish might not have the glamour of tuna, but they're incredibly fun to catch and make up some of the best eating you'll find. Species like lingcod, red rockfish, and various bottom dwellers live around the underwater structure and kelp beds throughout the year. They hit hard, fight with surprising strength for their size, and you can often catch multiple species on the same drift. Lingcod are especially exciting – these toothy predators can exceed 30 pounds and will absolutely crush a bait or jig. The variety keeps things interesting, and filling the fish box with mixed rockfish is always satisfying.
