If you're looking for one of the best fishing charters in Northern California, look no further than…read moreSea Wolf Sportfishing. Captain Joe is nothing short of stellar--professional, knowledgeable, and laser-focused on putting his anglers on the fish. The deckhands were equally impressive, constantly circling the boat, checking lines, untangling rigs, and making sure everyone was dialed in from start to finish. Their attentiveness and energy created a truly stress-free and fun environment. Every single angler on board got their limit of two huge king salmon and the energy on deck was incredible. Captain Joe clearly knows where the fish are, and the whole crew made the trip smooth, fun, and memorable. I've been on other charters, but this one is by far the best. Can't wait to book again--highly recommend Sea Wolf Sportfishing so save me a seat and tell the Captain hello!

I found that out for myself one Sunday morning. Got to the Emeryville docks at 4:30am for the 5:30am departure. Everyone on the charter was very friendly and willing to share their tips and thoughts on charters and the rockfish we were about to go out and catch. The ride takes you two hours out to sea past the GGB near the Faralon Islands where the awesome deckhands will take you to catch sanddabs first as bait for lingcod. I was able to hook up on some lings with the help of a very experienced friend but set my drag a bit too tight and lost the beast. We moved onto rockfish and easily caught limit with the help of great gear, great location, and great knowledge, all of which, you get from being on an awesome charter! Not only does the Seawolf crew know the best places to fish but they're also extremely friendly and helpful. They make rounds to check to make sure all of the patrons are well taken care of by helping untangle lines, offering to help tie lines on your behalf, going around and gaffing fish as they see you need help! Such an awesome crew. If you want a charter that will take care of you and get you to your limit of fish and leave you feeling taken care of, take the Seawolf out.

The staff was amazing, always checking in on us to make sure we were good. They had great drinks - with two bars and multiple bartenders working during the cruise. The boat looks small but it can actually hold a lot of people! They had hot dogs and nachos with cheese available, but not much food besides that on our trip. This was fine with us because we had dinner beforehand. Try to bring a jacket if you want to be in the outside area because it does get cold. I'm not sure about who the business owners are and who they support - but I'm speaking about my experience during my recent visit.

I booked this fireworks cruise after I saw availability two weeks ago. I swear I read Yacht. For…read more$150 per person it included drinks & some lite food and a view of the fireworks at the Golden Gate Bridge. I arrived at 6:55pm to find a line. It was confusing as there was also a line for the Yellow water taxi. Instructions were that loading was to begin at 7:30pm. I met these two cool ladies from Concord who let me stand in line with them. Standing in line was dangerous enough as there was uneven cobblestone with huge cracks just waiting to take an ankle out and mess up all your plans. If you wear heels beware. When I looked at the boat, I thought that's no yacht, that's a tugboat. We are now loading and this boat is two leveled. Some paid $25 extra for a reserved table. The ladies had a table outside. Great! Right? Not for them as we embarked on the sea. It got cold, windy but I loved it. I was bundled up with my Comfrt sweats which are super thick & my heavy Smoozy Koo blue coat I got in Chicago. I was set. These ladies ended up chilling inside as this was a booze cruise, a night club on the sea. The food was not free. I paid $25 for basically high school football concession food. Chicken Flautas (3) & Nachos. Not the hors-D Uvres (spelling) I expected. The restroom issue was the worst I heard. Like the line didn't move & one lady could not wait. Makes me think I should buy one of those travel pee funnels because you never know. Thankfully I didn't have to use the restroom. But get this, the lady who had the accident was given clean, dry pants to wear. What?! They have extra women's clothes to hand out? Now on to the firework show. The show started at 9:30pm and we were still racing trying to get out by the Golden Gate, or so I thought. We were way in the hell in San Pablo Bay and Carl the Fog was there to ruin the fireworks show. I thought we were going to be close like near Presidio. We got GOT! We were able to see other cities fireworks show in the distance and on the way back to Oakland. Honestly they should have done the fireworks from the Bay Bridge instead. Everyone around me was feeling like we got ripped off. Every time I saw a fancy yacht go by, we said, "There goes our Yacht." Just cruising by us with speed & elegance. Lol Funny enough, it was my and the group of ladies around me, first time doing this type of cruise firework adventure. We all had high expectations and realized why it costs $300 in San Francisco for a cruise line this on a nicer, bigger boat. I didn't have any mocktails because they didn't have a menu for one. I had a Paloma. The female bartender upstairs made that perfectly tangy. I left meeting four new ladies from the Bay all hoping to stay in touch. Thanks ladies for a fun night.

We…read morehave seen the Cabernet Sauvignon yacht docked in Alameda when we go walking along the shore but never really thought about looking into cruises. We boarded around 6:30 after getting checked in. The bars opened at 6:30 (2nd and 3rd deck) so it seemed like a good first stop upon boarding. Buffet dinner of chicken, hand cut prime rib, sauteed vegetables, salad, lemon rice, and cheese cake started just after 7. I had 2 helpings and cleared my plate both times. Delicious. Back to the bars. Both had beer, wine and spirits. The upstairs bar had the good tequila as well as more premium spirits. Around 9:30 we were in position off the San Francisco waterfront to watch the fireworks. The open top deck was perfect for viewing. It was somewhat clear earlier I the evening but of course the fog rolled in just in time for the festivities. It was still a good show. The DJ was playing tunes all night on the 3rd deck but the dancing really started after the fireworks. The crowd was mixed but everyone was pleasant. The over zealous clean up crew decided to grab our drinks while dancing. The bar crew replaced them even when the bar was technically closed. Huge props to them. Will definitely do this again. Maybe for fleet week when the planes are flying.

The other levels were mainly designated to food and photobooths. The boat drove all the way past the golden gate bridge from Alameda and back. The views were spectacular but the cruise itself was just okay. Pros: - Amazing views from the deck as well as all areas inside the boat. Really loved the route it was on. - Lemon bars which were slightly too sweet but still delicious. - Friendly waiters who were always asking us if we wanted any drinks and clearing the plates. Cons: - No elevator so it was hard to climb up and down the stairs in a long ball gown. - The bathrooms were tiny, not poofy dress friendly. - The food is actually terrible. Think grapes with saucy chicken, I don't know who thought of this option. - The dance floor was on the 3rd floor and while people jumped, it seemed like the ceiling tiles were about to break on the 2nd floor. Overall okay experience. Should have spent more time looking at the views instead of eating the food.

The first time we were out 10 hours, the second about 5. The boat takes six fishermen and a crew of two. Captain CJ knows his stuff. Took us through 10ft swells outside the gate (the potato patch they call it) with the boat pitching nearly 90 degrees. Quite the ride on a rough day. All gear and bait are included and two 2lb sinkers. The sinkers drop when you hook the fish, and cost $7 each when you need more So I used 8 and paid $42 extra for six. No problem, but something to be prepared for. The mate and captain keep the rods baited and the boat trolling. Everyone gets great action. One guy pulled in a 24 lb salmon. Last trip I caught three keepers and two small ones we tossed back. Guys also caught five good sized mackerels also, which weren't counted as part of the 12 limit, so we wound up with three each. Everyone gets to pick their best two if they're over the limit and unlucky guys split the rest. The mate will fillet anything and you can keep any of it you want. Get a one-day fishing license for $17 at a bait shop before you go. $250 for the day. Parking passes inside at the business at the end of the road, the Sundance is on the second dock from the end. A great way to spend a day. Call months in advance - they book up fast. There's catch counts on the web page so you can see all the boats and how they're doing.
