Home to the largest small-vessel marina in North America, Marina Del Rey fishing was destined for greatness. Boasting over 5,000 boats, it’s the go-to spot for sportfishing in Los Angeles county. Hop aboard a well-equipped vessel and head into the productive Pacific for a memory-making trip!
There are plenty of places to explore, and even more fish to catch. The marina faces the Santa Monica Bay, where you can hook into Rockfish, California Sheepshead, Calico and Sand Bass, and Bonito. Further out into the blue waters, your targets diversify to include feisty Yellowtail Amberjack and huge Halibut.
If you choose to head to Santa Catalina Island, know that prestigious game fish await. Bluefin, Albacore, and Yellowtail Tuna worthy of any sportfisherman's bucket list make your reels scream. That’s not all either, you can target many different species of Snapper and Grouper here too.
Even if you’ve only got a few hours to spare, you’ll see plenty of action and go home with plenty of fish. A half day trip can easily result in dozens of Rockfish and Bonito in the cooler. If you’re hoping for deep bluewater action, however, opt for a full day or extended full day trip and give yourself enough time to cross those fish off your bucket list.
There’s no better spot to depart on a fishing adventure from than Marina Del Rey. You’ll find charter boats of all shapes and sizes here, suitable for any trip. Located only 4 miles from LAX, it’s a quick drive from the airport to the fishing trip of your dreams!
