Booking a San Francisco Fishing Charter
Captain Steve keeps the fishing charter groups small—no more than 6 anglers per fishing trip in San Francisco. This allows for every angler to receive the personal attention they need, which you can’t always find anywhere else.
At Flash Sport Fishing Charters, we offer several half-day and full-day guided charter and trip options during the San Francisco season.
From half-day private tours to salmon trolling trips, we have it all. Just bring your fishing license and a meal—everything else is included!
Please visit the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to purchase a Fishing License.

Our Fishing Charter Boats
Flash and Flash II offer two very different experiences to veteran fishermen and novices alike.
The original Flash is a 32-foot Wegley with a 14-foot beam (14 feet wide) and Flash II is a 33-foot Tiara with a 12.8-foot beam (13 feet wide).
Both charter boats meet all of the latest clean air requirements and have earned the titles of environmentally GREEN vessels.
About Fisherman’s Wharf
The boats docked at Fisherman’s Wharf span generations, now maintained by the descendants of fishermen who made their livelihoods on the San Francisco Bay waters.
