Your Captain

Sean Stafford

Captain Sean welcomes anglers of every skill level aboard for inshore, nearshore and offshore trips around San Francisco Bay. Whatever's biting, whether salmon, halibut, striped bass, sturgeon, shark or tuna, he builds the day around it, working the grounds he knows best around Berkeley and Richmond.

Kids are always welcome, and Sean is happy to talk through seasickness concerns before booking. Message ahead with any questions about a trip.
