Our family had an amazing time catching lobster with Captain Ian and Zack! Both were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and welcoming. We loved that they let us be hands-on and actually pull in the lobster nets — it made the experience so much more exciting and memorable. As a parent, I really appreciated how considerate they were toward my girls — Captain Ian kept the ride comfortable and even brought snacks and water for them. Both Captains went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. It was such a fun and unique adventure, and we created wonderful memories — all at a very reasonable price! We’d absolutely recommend this trip to other families.
Will be back next year for another trip 😁🤩
Ian was a great captain and would do anything to get us on fish! We fished at the Coronado islands and caught a mixed bag of yellowtail and bluefin. Would definitely recommend to new or seasoned fishermen.

I can’t say it better my self. We will work hard to put your group on fish and create the custom experience your group is looking for.
Sure the tuna were thick at the Coronados yesterday but they were being really finicky. Heard a lot of frustrated boats out there on the coms. But that made Capt. Ian work even harder to put us on the fish.
Boated 5 stud bluefin and lost another half dozen on some heavy action. Capt. Ian is active duty Coastguard, so we felt very safe with him. His professionalism and angling knowledge are superior. Great seaworthy Parker with a Yamaha 300 gets you to the grounds very quickly. No dilly dallying with Coast2Coast! Can’t wait to fish with Capt. Ian again!

Thanks David. Got to love when the fishing is good!
My son and I went fishing with Capt Ian on 7/24. We had a great day on the water. Conditions weren’t great on the water, but Capt Ian made us comfortable throughout the day. We caught CA barracuda and Yellowtail all day long. Ian is not only competent as a captain, he’s a great personality to spend the day with. We’ll be booking with Ian again soon. Cheers, Joe
From start to finish, our fishing trip with Captain Ian was nothing short of exceptional! If you're looking for a charter fishing experience that combines skill, local knowledge, and genuine hospitality, look no further.
Captain Ian is the real deal — experienced, patient, and incredibly passionate about what he does. He knew exactly where to take us for the best chances of landing fish, and sure enough, we were reeling them in all day. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time on the water, Ian makes everyone feel confident and comfortable.
The boat was spotless, well-equipped, and perfectly maintained. Everything we needed was provided — top-quality gear, bait, and even helpful tips throughout the trip to improve our technique. You can tell Ian takes pride in every aspect of his operation.
Beyond the fishing, Ian’s personality really sets this charter apart. He’s friendly, professional, and genuinely fun to be around. His stories, sense of humor, and clear respect for the ocean made the day even more memorable.
Amazing day of fishing !!! Our family of 4 booked an afternoon 1/2 day trip - so much fun, safe, clean and Ian helped my boys reel in some fish . We were super close to catching a shark - bragging rights for my boys . Even with one of our family getting sick it didn't ruin the fun. Our sick guy could comfortably relax in the cabin while we fished . Thank you Captain Ian for having the PATIENCE OF A SAINT with all our questions, baiting all the hooks and telling us when to reel in our catch ! Can't wait till next time !
