About
Perfect for an early morning strike mission. Launching from Dana Landing, we will run anywhere from the Point Loma kelp beds, Zuniga Jetty, or up to the La Jolla area in search of White Seabass, Yellowtail, Calico, Sheepshead, and other coastal fish. We will have time to check multiple dive sites, usually up to 3 depending on conditions.
This is a great way to build up your time on the water for an affordable price. The boat is fast, stable, and dry, but doesn’t offer any sun protection or have a lot of extra space to move around. 2 divers is ideal, 4 if everyone is comfortable on boats and in the water. Be ready to board the boat at the time of departure with your wetsuit on and gear in hand so we can make the most of our limited time.
