    A friend of mine had a yacht party on a cool summer evening and it was a blast. We met at H&M landing and headed to our yacht. The staff were so attentive and carried our bags up to the upper deck where we spent the evening enjoying lots of food and some margaritas, The boat moored out in front of the Rady Shell and we enjoyed seeing the Sugarhill Gang and Kool and the Gang from the sea. The view was outstanding and this is a great way to see a concert. The staff was excellent, the boat was comfortable and the memories priceless.

    Good spot to go on multi-day fishing trip from San Diego. There are plenty of different boats to choose from. The drawback is the parking can be tricky but it is usually timing of when you depart.

    Took my sons on the first deep sea fishing trip with H&M Landing on a half day trip and it turned out to be a really good one. We caught five Seabass and one barracuda less than five minutes, dropping our lines in the water we caught something

    Why the loss in of a star? My five and four standard is getting tougher to make. When managers do things that piss me off, they are going to be held accountable. For example my rod tip eyelet came off after I boarded a multi day trip on the Relentless. This was going to be my main rod for the trip. I took it up to the tackle shop and pleaded for help. It was 15 minutes before closing. This young punk said he was the manager and told me they would not do it. The incredible Danny Wade fixed it for me anyway. Down on the boat some guy came running down, all in a panic, saying the manager was demanding $7.83 for the repair. I gave him $50 and told him to give the change to Danny Wade. I killed it that trip with that setup. When I got back in, I asked Danny if he got the change money. He did not. Grrr!

    First time to H&M landing, and wasn't sure how complicated the procedure would be, but everything was very easy. We were there for a day and a half fishing trip & checked in at the windows with no problem and then went inside to rent poles and reels for the trip. They had plenty to choose from and you don't need to make a reservation because I don't think they'll ever run out. The whole area is well organized and did not seem at all chaotic. Everyone was very helpful and we really enjoyed our fishing trip out of H&M landing on the Horizon. Glad to say I came home with an 84 pound bluefin tuna!

    My son has booked three trips within the last month and spent almost $800 on those trips. I will list the positives first. The deckshand - all of them were great. Hands down the best part of all the trips. They were attentive and helpful. The food was good. Now for the negatives: The first trip was to be an overnighter on Thursday, October 2nd, 2025, which was subsequently canceled due to "bad weather-high winds". So he booked on a full day for the next day, Friday October 3rd, 2025. When he arrived at the dock on Friday he was told by several other anglers that it is common for the company to cancel trips though the weather is fine. That should have been our first warning not to use this business. On that trip due to poor captaining of the boat there were only six fish caught. There was no management of people casting over others. We thought it would be a one-time problem so he booked a 1.5 day trip this past weekend on the Odyssey, October 11, 2025. On that 1.5 day, again to the gross incompetence of the captaining of the boat again only six fish were caught. And again anglers were allowed to cast over people the entire time. Below are the fish counts for H and M Landing's for this past weekend. Other charters like Seaforth Sportfishing's, Point Loma's and Fisherman's Landing's for overnights all were posted and had ample fish counts. I found it highly suspicious H and M did not post the Odyssey's 1.5 day trip's fish count with 29 anglers on board in their fish count log at all.. H and M -10/13/2025 Ocean Odyssey with 29 anglers 1.5 Day NO REPORT Poseidon with 25 anglers 1.5 Day NO REPORT Relentless with 19 anglers 1.5 Day NO REPORT But somehow their Vendetta (2 Overnight with 11 anglers 18 Bluefin Tuna, 3 Yellowfin Tuna, 3 Yellowtail) and Sea Adventure (1.5 Day with 17 anglers 10 Yellowtail, 10 Bluefin Tuna, 3 Dorado, 2 Yellowfin Tuna, 1 Skipjack Tuna) posted their counts. Point Loma Sportfishing -10/12/2025 Oceanside 95 2.5 days 23 anglers 26 Bluefin Tuna, 35 Calico Bass, 6 Yellowtail, 15 Bonito Seaforth Sportfishing - 10/12/2025 b Apollo Overnight 22 anglers 17 bluefin tuna Fisherman's Landing - 10/13/2025 The Tomahawk returned this morning with 68 Bluefin Tuna, 3 Yellowfin Tuna, 3 Yellowtail, and 1 Dorado for 23 anglers on their 2 day trip. The Pacific Queen returned this morning with 76 Bluefin Tuna, 4 Yellowfin Tuna, 2 Dorado, and 3 Yellowtail for 24 anglers on their 3 day trip. The Pacific Dawn - LIMITS (60 fish up to 135 lbs) of Bluefin Tuna for their 2.5 day trip with 15 anglers aboard. Both times we have used their services there has been a total of 6 fish caught on each boat. Both times we have reached out to this company regarding our poor experiences and NO ONE has responded back. We will never book with this company again and we will never recommend it to anyone.

    This review is for the 1/2 day Premier boat Saturday tour (1-6PM). November. The recommended time to arrive for the tour is 12PM. However, we were running late and didn't get there till 12:30 or so. Thankfully we were able to still get checked in, get our rental rods, grab some snacks and even had a chance to chill before boarding the boat. Note* The parking lot for this was CROWDED so do try to get here as early as you can. The lot is $12 for a full day parking but we actually parked a few blocks down in the neighborhoods for free. That's also because the lot was full when we arrived so we had no choice. The check in process was smooth and easy. The rods were also really good quality and clean. When we boarded, everyone checks in for the "Jackpot". I believe whoever gets the biggest fish at the end of the trip wins a prize. The boat was spacious and had 2 clean bathrooms, a top deck with some seating. There was also a lower part with additional tables and the food service area. They ONLY take cash so make sure you take money out of the ATM. The food options and prices were great. We ordered a cheeseburger, a bag of chips as well as a beer. The cheeseburger was amazing. I wouldn't have thought someone could cook up a burger like that on a boat but they certainly did. I highly recommend trying their food. They also had breakfast items too. I kind of wish we brought our own food (all we brought was water) but I'm glad they even had food on deck because we were definitely hungry. If you're looking to save some money though I highly recommend bringing a cooler with some food, drinks and snacks to hold you over especially if you're with a large group of people. The ride out was beautiful. Also as we rode out there, they rigged everyone's rods so it was ready to go. We stopped somewhere around the border line. They did a quick lesson on how to cast the rod and also about the fish you could catch. After that everyone went in. The spot we went to was pretty much a guaranteed catch. As soon as I dropped my line in I immediately felt bites. I believe I caught about 8 fish that day. The crew was fantastic. I wish I got their names but they were highly skilled in what they do. If you need anything at all they can handle it. They were also extremely kind. On the way back it was FREEZING. I'm glad I brought an extra jacket but definitely recommend packing a thick coat. Especially if you're doing this tour in the winter. As we rode back they also filet the fish you caught if requested and you just pay a few bucks per fish and get to take it home afterwards. Overall this tour was super fun and great for fishers of all skill levels! I love how freeing this tour was. It seems like if you want to bring your own rods, food, it felt so customizable. This is also a perfect tour to do with friends and family. I highly recommend this tour and can't wait to go again!

    Took some friends on a 1/2 day AM trip on the Premier. Got there early and found parking easily. The process of checking in and getting situated on the boat went smoothly. The boat is decently sized and can accommodate a lot of people. The deckhands were nice and helpful and the burritos tasted great!

    Ranger 85

    This review is for the Ranger 85 as it is my go-to tuna fishing boat for the last couple of years. I LOVE this boat! The captain and crew are always willing to help with anything you need and I've seen people of all levels and ages enjoy their time here. I've gone with different guys driving the boat and it has been an awesome experience every time. Fishing: Of course you can never control where the fish will go and what they'll do, but I've limited out on both trips I've taken with some nice-sized tuna! We've looked for dorado and cows during the extra time after hitting limits, but those were a little tougher to come by. The bait was always lively and the deckhands will help rig you up for any type of fishing you might encounter. Onboard: Plenty of bunk beds and there is AC to keep you cool --especially in the hotter summer months. Three square delicious meals a day given in huge portions -- plus there are plenty of snacks and ice-cold drinks to enjoy as well! There's a spacious galley by the kitchen and another one downstairs to sit and eat, chat, and watch some TV. If you want to trek out for a couple of days to catch some bluefin and maybe even yellowtail or dorado, I highly recommend booking a trip on the Ranger 85 out of H&M Landing. Also, shout out to Danny at the landing for helping put on new line on my reels!

    Such a great experience for our first Whale Watching trip, great even with our 3 year old! Worth…read morethe cost, we were out for a bit over 3 hours. Check in process was easy, just follow the email instructions, all very clear. Bring sunscreen, a hat or sunglasses. You can bring your bags and snacks. There is plenty of space under the benches for your belongings. Lots of options for seating all around the boat, both inside and out. Also 2 restrooms available. As well as a Galley with snacks and souvenirs! I didn't realize, but they also sell photo packages of the wildlife from the trip. So you can focus on documenting your group and the good time, They'll capture the animals! :) This crew was Captain Vanessa, Naturalist Ruth, Deck crew Colleen and Sara, and Galley Oscar. They were all so helpful and accommodating. I cannot tell you how warm and inviting they all were. You could definitely tell they loved their jobs. For me...So, despite Dramamine and sea sickness bands I got really nauseous; and I think my 3 year old did too but couldn't verbalize, because she passed out about 1.5 hours into the trip-so I was just kind of sitting towards the back holding my toddler mid trip. Which is about the time when the whales appeared! (Up to that point we saw different birds, pods of dolphins and sea lions.) So these whales on our trip were on the starboard side when they appeared, but I was on the port side, kinda stuck sitting with my sleeping toddler. At one point Colleen came and asked if she could help me move to see the whales, but that was easier said than done, especially not feeling well. I let her know she was sweet but we were okay. Well as the boat tracked the whales, I guess Colleen and Sara both mentioned to the captain that we were kind of stuck in the back on the Port side and the captain ended up turning the boat towards the whales so I could see them. It was the sweetest thing and I felt so seen as a mama. :) I didn't know how a whale watching trip could go above and beyond, but they did! We did a 12:30pm tour on a Monday and there seemed to be a good crowd, but they were not at full capacity, which meant moving around was an option for those that wanted to. We will be back, this was a great choice!

There's also a bow pulpit walkway (with a strong railing) that extends off the front of the boat over the water if you need an adrenaline rush like we did. The view from here is incredible. An invitingly beautiful lounge area with a snack bar is a good space for those who get chilled or need to come out of the sun. The bathrooms, or "heads," were spotless! The captain was skilled and careful, and the naturalist, Melissa, was easy to listen to and informative. The crew was pleasant and helpful. A++ Our amazing day included lengthy up-close encounters with two very large pods of dolphins. Scores of short-beaked mamas and calves surfed in the wake of the bow, while others frolicked in the open water around us. It was quite a show. The dolphins were so close we could see the patterns on their skin and hear them click-talk to each other. A bit later, an even larger pod, this time long beaked dolphins, were engaged in feeding behaviors that were fascinating to observe. We even saw a dolphin stampede-- a rare occurrence. Though none of the big whales came out to play, we were definitely satisfied with our day. It was spectacular! And since the boat comes out of San Diego Bay, the trip also provides a closer-up look at various military sites on the bay side of Pt Loma and the many sea lions lounging on the buoys and barges! I'm def planning a trip for later in the fall. As for you, just do it! You'll be glad you did.

We got to see humpback whales, sea lions, and so many common dolphins. The crew was all so welcoming, friendly, and happy to answer any questions you have. It was a smooth riding experience and plenty of seating. It wasn't very crowded on the boat and was very spacious. They even have a whale watching guarantee on their website that says if you don't see a whale then the next trip is free which is really neat. This is a small and locally owned business whose crew is very respectful of the wildlife. They ensure to keep a distance to keep the wildlife safe. They do offer drinks and snacks for purchase or you are free to bring your own! It lasted 3 and a half hours. It was an unbelievable experience and I highly recommend Wild Pacific Whale Watch!

    I was supposed to go out on the Dominator, but the boat was switched to the Diawa Pacific due to an…read moreillness from the Dominator's captain. H&M informed me the day before my trip. I arrived at 7pm for a 9pm departure. I was greeted by the crew and captain. There were only 14 of us slated to go on the 1.5 trip after the big bluefin at the outer banks. After boarding the vessel, the crew helped stow gear, informed everyone to sign the manifest, choose a bunk, and then get the tackle ready for the next day's adventure. The brief seminar concluded and everyone proceeded to articulate his own tackle according to the crew's recommendations. The line and hook sizes were determined with the actual bait in mind. Fish the bait size, not the hook size seemed to be an echoing theme throughout the trip. A good night's sleep was had by all as we arrived at the Cortez boat in flat calm and even greasy seas. Even though we were one of the last boats to arrive at the grounds, the captain quickly put us on jumping and active 20-80lb bluefin tuna. The crew chummed the area and soon the first angler yelled, "Fresh one," as the glint off of his gold Trinidad began to sing the song that all fishermen love to hear. A steady pick started to happen after the first fish was hooked. Most anglers were getting bit on the heavier line, but the fish seemed to be eerily shy of my 40 pound test line. Nary a bite happened that first drift. Bluefin are usually pickier than a 5 year old around broccoli. This day was no exception. I asked the crew for a bit of advice and they said to keep working and plugging away. Frustration started to set in as rent rod gear fishermen were being pushed to their limits as I continued to do the tuna shuffle around the boat without much luck. Then I decided to do take a chance. I dropped my line size from 40lb to 25lb test and the results were immediate. I hooked up my first fish after a 10 minute soak of a sardine, but after 15 minutes of battle, I pulled the hook and Charlie the Tuna swam back to the depths. The crew encouraged me to keep fishing. I asked a fellow passenger what time it was and he said that it was only 8:45 in the morning and we had all day to fish. By the time I pulled the hook on my second hook up, 25 fish had been landed with most being in the 60-75 pound range. I knew my time would come if I just kept working and stayed positive. My Torium 16 would soon find out if it was up to the challenge. Line started to pick up speed coming off the reel as I took a legitimate swing at a big bluefin. The hook held and the battle began. For the next hour, a crew member stayed pretty close to me as I gingerly worked the tug of war game with the big fish. The crew member continued to give little pieces of warranted advice on how to land the beast. After an hour into the fight, I started to get a bit tired. The crew member said that the battle was coming to its conclusion but more fish are lost at the rail than at any other time because fishermen get excited when they see the prize near the surface and start to get a little "horsey" with their movements. Slow and steady worked during majority of the battle, so I continued the same steady movements as the fish began to rise. The beautiful colors of the bluefin shone brightly in the mid-morning sun as the fish laid on its side and was appropriately double gaffed by two the crew members. The encouragement during the battle didn't go unappreciated. The rest of the day went pretty much the same with some personal bests and some heartbreak at the rail. Everyone eventually landed at least one fish as the entire boat went home with limits as well as a memories that will get us all through another week of work. On another note, the toughness award goes out to the captain of the Diawa as he toughed out a rough incident with the bait tank chair. After a quick visit to the galley for medicine and a bandage, he was back on deck with his crew. It was a stellar day which was only made better by the excellent service of the members of the Diawa Pacific.

    Received a cap from H&M landing a couple of months ago and because we live up in north county was…read morenot able to return the cap as it was non adjustable and was too small. Went down there yesterday and spoke to a guy who said we cannot swap the cap with an adjustable one because it would confuse the inventory listings . Even though the cap was brand new and still had the sticker on. I then asked to speak to a supervisor, I rotated to the counter behind me and spoke to a woman about the situation. She went online to find my "information ", it's a brand new cap with H&M written on the front, wasn't looking for cash just wanted a larger size. She wasn't able to properly assist me and I asked for the manager, she said he wasn't here but to come back later. Well guess what I did come back over an hour later and the mystery manager was not back, guess he must've had a giant lunch. Anyway after speaking to two people one who supposedly was a supervisor and came back over an hour later decided it was not worth it to waste any additional time. Better customer support is drastically needed by H&M landing. Recommend you check out Oceanside fishing companies before using this company.
