You’ll fish with Captain Marvin Glasgow, an experienced guide who runs private trips designed around conditions and your group. He operates a restored 22’ Cape Horn bay boat that’s built for inshore versatility and comfort.
The boat is equipped with modern GPS, fishfinder, and VHF radio, plus a wireless trolling motor for quiet positioning. There’s also a livewell and an ice box to keep things chilled and comfortable on board.
Captain Marvin makes it easy — everything you need to fish is included. Your trip includes rods, reels, tackle, bait, and the required fishing licenses for your group. All you need to bring is weather-appropriate clothing, sun protection, and your own snacks and drinks.
At the end of the trip, if you keep any legal fish (where appropriate), Captain Marvin will clean and bag your catch.
Note: Sharks are typically released. Captain Marvin will guide your group through safe handling and best practices for a strong release.
