CRAB SEASON OPENS NOVEMBER 6th!!!
Berkeley Charter Boats
Salmon now, Crab next month…
November is all about DUNGENESS CRAB. Beginning November 6th we’ll offer CRAB ONLY and ROCK COD/CRAB COMBOS thru New Years.
NEW THIS YEAR—Additional Crab Stamp required along with your regular fishing license. They cost about $2.50. We’ll have more info when Fish and Wildlife release it.
In October we’re offering both SALMON and Farallon Island ROCK COD/LINGCOD trips.
This is BIG fish time of year. Large spawning salmon are hanging outside the Golden Gate Bridge grabbing their final anchovies before heading up river. We’ll continue to troll for them until November. Late summer, early fall is when the BIG lingcod come up the deep waters around the Farallon Islands to depths we’re able to fish. Bring your crazy lingcod rigs and lets go.

FAQ
2021 trips will be updated as needed for price and load size
What should I bring for my trip?
- Fishing license (Purchase below)
- Food and beverages. Personal hand held ice chests ONLY. No large coolers or anything with wheels
- Warm clothing, dress in layers, be ready for any and all weather condition.
- Sunscreen
Are there any additional fees?
There are no hidden charges but keep in mind that tackle is not unlimited. The deckhand works hard and gratuity is appreciated. Be prepared to give the deckhand a little more if you want your fish filleted.
How should I dress?
Odds are it will be cold in the morning and warm and sunny in the afternoon. Be ready for all conditions. Dress in layers. I like my rubber boots but are not necessary, old pair of sneaker are fine. It’s better to have it and not need it, than want it and not have it.
Is there a guarantee I’ll catch fish?
No. These are wild fish. The captain and crew are good at what they do, but that Is why they call it fishing.
Do you clean our catch?
It is part of our service to gut and gill salmon,
if you want your catch filleted or steaked, ask the deckhand and he’d accommodate for an agreed upon fee.
