Excellent trip! Captain Rodney put us on the fish and all 6 of us caught our limit of rockfish and lingcod in just a few hours. We had a great time and went home with a cooler full of fresh filets prepared by deckhand KG. Everyone was professional, attentive, and happy to help the 2 kids on board. I would definitely book again in the future. It may be a bit pricier than some of the larger group boats in the Santa Cruz area but you get what you pay for. To be on a small group boat with such an attentive crew was well worth it. Thanks for a great trip Santa Cruz Coastal Charters!

Awesome fishing trip on the Knot Alone with Captain Rodney and crew member KG! Local Santa Cruz charter with years of experience. The Captain knew where to go - we went, we conquered, we brought home our catch! Professional, friendly, great clean boat. I would highly recommend Santa Cruz Coastal Charters. Another great day on the water!

For my son’s 13th birthday I took him and 3 of his friends for a private charter with Captain Rodney. I was nervous to bring 4 middle school boys onto a fishing boat for the first time but it turns out I had nothing to worry about! Captain Rodney and his crew made sure that the boys were constantly pulling up rockfish, their poles were always baited and the only phone that was out was mine, taking photos the entire time! We all met our limits and went home with a cooler full of cleaned and bagged fish filets. I highly recommend this experience and the boys are already begging for another trip.

Rodney and KG were fantastic. Landed us on the fish and we caught limits in almost a hour for chili peppers. Caught lings and halibut, too. Fast, efficient and just an overall good vibe. I’ve got fish coming out of my ears now.
Thanks again!

The best local fishing charter. Captain Rodney and his crew create an amazing adventure fishing trip. Always makes sure everyone is having fun, and catches a ton of fish. Book your next fishing charter with Santa Cruz coastal Charters. You won't be disappointed.🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

Limits by 10! Went out with Captain Rodney for a salmon trip and it was lights out fishing. Everyone on the boat got their limit of beautiful chrome fish. If you are looking for a great charter that gets on the fish, book with Santa Cruz Coastal Charters. Now its time to go for the halibut!

Amazing experience! Rodney + team will take you out and help you catch Rockfish, Lingcod and Halibut. We caught at our limit in rockfish along with a halibut and a few lingcod. Definitely going to go out with Santa Cruz Coastal Charters again and 10/10 recommend.

Hands down the best fishing charter in Santa Cruz. Rodney and his deck hand are amazing - super outgoing and nice. They are very knowledgeable and you get a great experience going out in a small group. Also reasonably priced and include all the fishing gear instead of charging you to rent it. We were talking with a couple guys at the harbor before we met Rodney and they had nothing but amazing things to say about Rodney as well. Definitely booking with him again!
