The fun parts of my trips to SF are planned pretty on the fly based on schedule, but they were able to fit me in with less than 48 hours notice. Gold Rush is a great vessel with plenty of space on deck. Everybody limited out on striped bass - tried our best for halibut too, but guess they weren’t feeling hungry that day. Thanks Brian & crew for the great time out on the water!

This was a gift for my dad, and we both absolutely loved the experience!! The crew are very knowledgeable and friendly and make the entire experience as great as possible for everyone, regardless of fishing experience.

We had an amazing tour that went under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz, they slowed down at the points of interest and we were able to see dolphins swimming. The crew was super nice and welcoming, all in all great experience!

Brian and Al were absolutely fantastic - professional, funny, and very good at getting us on the fish. The dock is easy to get to and parking is a breeze with the validation option. The boat is spacious and clean, and the gear is in great shape. Brian gives a great introduction to anyone new to fishing and is very patient. We received immaculate filets at the end of our trip and great cooking tips from Al!

What a wonderful way to spend the day! Do yourselves a favor and book a trip with these guys, you'll have to get up early and you'll be there into the afternoon. DRINK COFFEE. There is a bathroom on board, everything is clean and sanitized between people. They provide everything you need to have a great day fishing including cleaning the fish and giving you the filets if you catch one big enough ("big enough" varies between fish) all in all we caught 8 halibut between the 2 of us AND we went all around the bay, saw Alcatraz, the whole trip was well worth it ($200pp) **bring snacks!** Brian and Al are the best and helped with making us better fishers each place we went.
