I highly recommend the Mediterranean menu, it was delicious and served at perfect temperature (HOT!). There's something about putting money towards a fully family operated business... and this is just that. Booking was easy and Captain Jim was very responsive throughout the process. 10/10!

Vince and Al took me, a first time west coast fisher, out near Elephant Rock to fish for salmon. I went with 5 kind gentlemen and we talked about recipes, various fish stories, and nautical electronic equipment.

After returning to the dock Vince and Al filetted my fishes and sent me home with the biggest most heaviest doggie bag ever! Next time it will be for other fish and crab on Miss Anita once again.

Driving the boat, keeping our rods in the water, and answering all 3,000 questions we had was a busy task, but he was up for it. We all got a salmon totaling 5 for the boat. Based off the chatter on the radio it sounded like we did a bit better than the boats around us. Price wise, very competitive compared to other simulator companies. Compared to a party boat, I would recommend Miss Anita Charters every time. The experience and bang for your buck here doesn't compare. No more party boats for me. We will definitely be back this summer. Thank you!

Past the time we should have gone back, Bob took us into a shallow back bay as the sun dipped down and told me to cast into a side channel. Bam! I caught a healthy sized striper. He had hooked one for my girlfriend earlier. With Bob, it's not just the fishing. He gives tours and he weaves that into the guided trip. His great sense of humor and genuine desire to put his clients on fish really sets him apart from a lot of guides I've had. He took a lot of time to teach my girlfriend how to cast and she truly surprised me on how far she was casting- farther than me at times!

Jan was very quick to reply, graciously answered all of my questions before booking, and remained in great communication throughout the entire process leading up to the date. Even when I had last minute changes of adding an additional person and pushing back the reservation time, Jan was very flexible and happy to accommodate. Prior to booking, I had seen a couple photos on Jan's website as well as photos posted by other reviewers, however, reality far exceeded my expectations. The catamaran is very roomy, plenty of space for our group of 6. Moreover, you can tell Jan keeps his catamaran well maintained--very clean! Upon realizing we were celebrating a birthday (I hadn't disclosed the purpose of this trip in our previously conversations), Jan was kind enough to gift us a ceramic bowl he had made (ceramics is his side hobby)! We took off from a dock in Richmond and brought the catamaran around Angel Island towards the Golden Gate Bridge, where we stopped and set up the sails until it was time to go back. Throughout the entire trip, Jan gave us our privacy--occasionally pointing out interesting sights on the water or along the coast. We spent half our time eating around the table, which has a roof and is opened to the outside, and half our time on the trampolines in the front of the boat. Although a bit chilly, since we went in the winter, being outside and sailing on water felt peaceful and serene! As someone that is gets carsick easily, I was apprehensive about seasickness, but the entire ride felt very smooth. Jan even pointed out the big waves beforehand so I felt prepared for any rocky motion. Moreover, none of the food/drinks we brought ever got close to spilling or sliding over the table since catamarans are so steady. Overall we all had an amazing time, and I would highly recommend sailing with Jan!

It was very easy to communicate with the owner, Eliot of Compass Rose Yacht Charter. He was willing to adjust the time of departure to our needs and it turned out perfect! Instructions were clear on where to park and our meeting place. We were greeted at the gate by a crew member and directed to the Voyager. The yacht is comfortable and clean and the cabin is spacious enough for our group of about twenty people. Captain Richard was very professional and the crew was friendly and helpful. There is a bar with coffee, tea, water and soft drinks. When we arrived at the designated scattering spot, the crew passed out flower petals to mark the site. Cheryl directed us where and how to scatter the ashes. We also brought a flower reef (created with paper tape), that was also tossed at the spot. The boat slowly circled the site several times, allowing us time for our final thoughts. Total time of our journey was about 1.5 hours, enough time for any speakers or formalities. The price was very reasonable, compared to other, more organized options. My friends and family all agreed and we highly recommend Compass Rose Yacht Charters.

We had experienced two trips with Les for this species, and it was a fun-filled adventure. Although this was a freshwater trip, I felt I did not have the expertise or hardware to troll for this species. I have caught plenty of trout in Crowley and Convict Lake on the troll, but getting these landlocked salmon requires a downrigger and the ability to troll deep. Les and his wife did a great job putting us on fish. Kokanee salmon are wonderful table fare. This year, we participated in an epic salmon trip at Bodega Bay. Les still operates the Samantha Irene and has Captain Jeff running the boat. We managed to catch our limit of King Salmon, the largest weighing 27 pounds. We also landed some 15 pounders. Again, the trip was an epic experience. As a fisherman,​ ​I have to brag. The first salmon I caught with Les was a 30 pounder! It is good to see Fish On Charters expanding its operation. ​They have a Rockfish, Lingcod trip in the winter. A November trip would be the perfect way for us to end the fishing year.

The tube they gave us was already torn before we even used it. As soon as we got on it, it ripped completely, even though we used it normally. Instead of taking responsibility for giving us damaged equipment, they blamed us and tried to charge us for it. They first demanded $230, and only after we argued with them did they suddenly lower the charge to $170, which makes no sense if we were actually responsible. I would not recommend renting from this place. Poor customer service, damaged equipment, and unfair charges. Save your money and go somewhere else.
