Party Boats & Corporate Charters in Southern California

A party boat (or open-party boat) is a shared fishing trip: you buy a per-person ticket and fish alongside other anglers. It's the most affordable way to get offshore β€” perfect for solo anglers, pairs, and anyone who doesn't need the whole boat to themselves.

Trips run half-day, three-quarter-day, full-day, and overnight, targeting whatever's biting: calico bass, rockfish, yellowtail, white seabass, and more, depending on the season.

How to pick a good one

  • Check recent fish counts β€” landings post daily counts online; a boat consistently putting fish on deck is no accident.
  • Consider limited-load trips β€” fewer anglers means more rail room and more attention from the crew.
  • Read the crew reviews, not just the star rating β€” helpful deckhands make or break a first trip.
  • Ask what's included β€” tackle rental, bait, and fishing licenses are often extra; galley food always is.
  • Book the right trip length β€” new anglers do best on half-day trips; overnight trips are for the committed.
