My family and I had an amazing day fishing! Crew was fantastic and knowledgeable and managed to entertain my two sons (6 and 9 years old). We caught huge amounts of fish and in total eight different species. Very flexible captain that informed us in advance of severe weather so we could change the date for our trip. I did a lot of research into different boats and captains and the reviews for Pelican was just amazing.
We couldn’t be happier with our trip and we are already longing to come back!

From start to finish, this was a fantastic experience! Shaun had open, timely communication, and was able to answer all my questions and recommend a trip that checked all the boxes for us. Our goal was to fill our freezer with fish, and Shaun was able to get us on the fish quickly! He was very friendly and family oriented!  All of us, including our 2 kids, had a great time! He went above and beyond to help us get our sea legs under us. He also filleted our fish and dropped them off to our air BNB when I became sea sick and had to take care of myself. I would rate this charter 10 stars if I could, and we will definitely fish with Shaun again!

Took this trip with my son and 2 of his friends. It was the first time offshore fishing for a few of us, captains Shaun and Noah were amazing. They were very knowledgeable of the fishing regulations and types of fish that we were catching. They kept our hook’s baited and I hope where having as much fun as we were. We came home with 21 fish but that is about half as much as we caught between out of season fish and undersized ones. Was an amazing day on the water and Captain Shaun’s music choices were great. Cannot wait to be able to go back to CA and book another trip and this time go deep sea for Tuna and Mahi Mahi.

We had a great time in this trip, although was winter and expectations were different than for a summer trip, Cap Shaun was very personable and accommodating. We did lots of catch and release in an ecofriendly manner preserving the life of the fish we released and also we kept what we wanted for consumption. We also learned a lot about the behavior of each of the 9 species of fish we caught making the experience more rich in knowledge. Shaun is passionate about what he does as a fisherman and genuinely tried to make our experience unforgettable. We are planning on returning this summer with him to target different species.

My son and I went out yesterday morning with captain Shaun for a 5 hour inshore fishing tour. We caught 9 different species of fish and enjoyed our time on the boat and with the knowledgeable and helpful captain.
For a couple of Canadians who had never been on the ocean it took us a bit to get our sea legs and Shaun was helpful and patient as we fished a few of his spots and moved around to target new species.
At the end of the trip he took us to a local spot where my son was able to hand feed a guitar fish and a bunch of other native fish.
We learnt a lot about fishing the ocean and made some memories that will last a lifetime.  Thank you Shaun, we hope to be back one day and look forward to another great day on the water!!
Your friends, Jake and Brian.
