Red we cought
Grant R.

Had an amazing 3/4 day out on the avenger! Crew was great as always, captain Brad did a really good job getting us on fish and deckhand Manny was very helpful!

Ready to go

Ok first time in Over 30 years going deep sea fishing and I had a blast. The waves were crazy, people were getting sea sick, and everyone was soaking wet, but through it all I was catching rock cod like there was no tomorrow. The captain did a great job navigating the boat through rough seas and the crew worked wildly to make sure everyone was getting help with their fish and man were the fish biting. I limited out within the first hour and then helped everyone else limt out also. The entire operation was run brilliantly and everyone on board had a great time.

Rockfish from Morro Bay

Took our two grandsons (11 and 8) for a half day of fishing on Morro Bay. What an experience! The boat (Avenger) was big and not crowded, we had one whole side of the boat for the four of us. The crew was awesome and helped with the poles and bait and pulling in all the fish. We caught over 20 big beautiful rockfish. The onboard crew cleaned and cut all the fish so we could bring it home to eat and freeze. This was such a wonderful trip for all of us and the kiddos were free with each paying adult. Poles and tackle were only $25 each and good quality. Highly recommend this trip for families. Thank you crew of Avenger - you made this such a special day with the grandkids.

Freshly fried fish.

We went out on the Avenger boat and our experience was as great as it could be. Check in and getting rental equipment was a breeze, especially since we got there about an hour before our 7am start time. The ride out to the fishing location was a bit choppy and made a few of us nauseous, but that's not anything that can be blamed on the fishing charter themselves. We were a group of 8 and 3 of us ended up vomiting (with slightly choppy waters, lots of drinking the night prior, and only a couple hours of sleep...it was bound to happen to at least 1 of the 8 guys we had on the trip). Once we finally got to a spot we dropped our lines and a few of us almost immediately caught some fish. The captain moved the boat around several times to ensure we were fishing in locations with plenty of fish. This was one of my friends first time fishing and he ended up catching the 2nd biggest fish of the trip. Toward the end there was a spot we found where there were tons of fish near the surface. It was practically like shooting fish in a barrel. You drop your line in and probably 5 seconds later you've hooked a fish. Don't experience that very often. The crew themselves were great and very helpful, especially Megan. We told her we had some first timers and she made sure to hang around us a bit more to help us out. We ended up making some fish and chips and also baked the fish with a cajun rub and lemon zest. It was good stuff, and knowing that it was fresh fish we caught earlier that day made it all the better and more delicious. Overall we had a great time and not a single bad experience with this fishing charter. I would book with them again if I ever come back out to Morro Bay!

Went out on the Endeavor with my family 05/01/23 and I got to say it was the best rockfish trip yet !! Captain put us right on the fish on a day when the patriot canceled on us (Due to weather)after driving out there from Los Angeles and having booked a room for two days lol still the Endeavor and it's AWESOME crew saved the day and made our trip a complete success much love and appreciation for everything you guys are the best !

Went on the Endeavor. Amazing trip! Deck hand Tabitha is AMAZING! First time trip deep sea fishing; my son and I had no clue what we were doing so Tabitha REALLY helped us out. The Captain came out and made sure we were all having a good time , SUPER nice guy. Everyone got their fish and we couldn't of had more fun! 8 hour trip flew by! (Tip: bring cash 1s and 5s, take Dramamin night before and day of, patches DO WORK get them from your doctor..I EASILY get motion sickness and with the patch and Dramamin absolutely no nausea)

What a great Birthday Trip.. weather was "greasy" they said.. family of 5 and so worth it. Plus God was so amazing to me, I was reeling in a fish and gracefully feeling great vibes when I seen the most beautiful fish rising from my line JACKPOT Ling I won!! The deckhands were great John & Mike were awesome and treated everyone with such respect and hospitality, Mike outdoes himself making breakfast burritos and hamburgers If I ever had to bring my family deep sea fishing I would come back to this business. We came home with so much fish, special ones were the Boccaccio, Sol, Reds, China fish and of course my Winning Ling.

Took the 1/2 day fishing trip on Endeavor last week. About 18 on board. Limited out and back in port by noon. Tons of small rockfish. Kept pulling up 2 at a time on the rented poles and tackle. Rough water and a lot of wind but moved out to deeper water and the Captain kept us on the vermillion rockfish. Crew masterfully filleted the catch and we went home with more worth of fish than we paid for the whole trip.

So best fishing experience ever, Fernando and Brad were excellent, Brad was our captain, attentive deck hand Fernando, I caught a lingcod and as soon as I pulled it up, it let go. I was so bummed I lost it off the hook. But little did I know, Fernando (the deck hand) saw it all, and grabbed a gaff and got my lingcod right up, also I won the jackpot. Due to my killer fish and Fernando. Brad is super cool captain, fun crew to be with if your looking for a fun day in the ocean killing fish!

Can anyone say JACKPOT!

See all

Can you drink beer on the boat?

You can't bring your own alcohol but they do sell beer on the boat. Bring cash.

Are there mosquitos/fleas here?

I went with some friends in August 2021. Mosquitos? Not that I noticed. Fleas? No?…

I would say the crew was amazing. Extremely helpful and…read morenice. The boat was filled to the max and honestly, it felt very crowded. It was definitely hard to move around which also could've been because there was extra people on the boat that got on the wrong charter boat. I could have done without the smoking. Pretty much every minute of the trip was filled with smoke instead of sea area. We did go on a charter to experience fishing and smell the fresh air. We will not be returning to the though I'm sure that most charters are filled with nonstop people smoking.

Wow! I mean. Wow!!…read more I'm an angler. I fish a lot. By "a lot" I mean every break from work, time to myself, wanna get away and nothing else to do. Well, there's always something else to do. Fishing. A few years ago, an angler friend who drove down to San Diego to fish tuna told me wonderful stories about Morro Bay and the size of the fish they catch up there. He made it sound like the Land of Plenty. We anglers love to tell fishing tales, just look at the length of this review so far, so I took it all with a grain of salt; by salt I mean a good flavorful blackened fish rub. HELLO! After the fishing trip ended, he sent me an invite to join a Facebook group called Friends of the Black Pearl. I accepted the invite because I had just deleted my old FB account because I kept getting put in Facebook Jail, 30 days being able to see posts and comments from everybody else but not able to post or comment myself, TORTURE! People posting and commenting stupid stuff and I couldn't check them. Anyway, what's this review about? Oh yeah. The Black Pearl. I started to see the photos of the fish people caught and thought I myself, hmmm. "6 hour drive in the car by myself. Hotel room by myself. Get some fishing in the next day. Hotel room again by myself. 6 hour drive home by myself." No sooner than I finished the thought, maybe while I was still thinking, I had already booked my first trip and hotel. It was the " by myself" part that did it. What? I love my family. I just need to miss them every now and then. My first trip the weather did not permit the boat to leave the bay due to the extreme conditions. However, three things happened. 1 - We were still able to catch a lot of decent sized fish. Not the monsters I was expecting, but definitely bigger than anything I would have caught in San Diego. 2 - I saw a Captain, Captain Brian, drive a boat with the most skill I've ever seen a Captain display on a day trip. I mean, the sea was rough yet he was able to keep us on the rock pile so we could keep fishing. I had never seen such a thing. I didn't even know it was possible in such high surf and wind. 3 - I met and bonded with the most exceptional crew ever. From Gambit preparing amazing means then handling the rails deck handing with best of them to the other deck hands making sure tangles were immediately addressed and angler had the time they paid for. It was like 4 star hotel hospitality training. Amazing!! However, I didn't see the huge fish I was promised. Then that's when I learned the term "Jurassic Park". Turns out that when the sea conditions permit, the boat is able to leave the harbor and sail to the coast of Big Sur. With that information etched in my brain, I scheduled a 1.5 day and did the drive and hotel thing again a few months later. This time... We made it! OMG!! Monsters!! Now with monsters come tangles because you're fishing so deep and let's face it, the fish you hook are fighting for their lives and don't come straight up. They're swimming all over the place in their panic and wrap themselves around other anglers' lines in their fight for survival. The harder they fight the more fun I'm having. " Yeah Baby! You better fight if you wanna avoid this beer batter and hot grease. Fight like your life depends on it!! It does!" I crack myself up. Since I've been fishing this boat, I've joined a few sponsored trips, made a huge amount of friends, caught lots of fish and even taken my son and best friend to fish with me. I don't even bother to fish rock fish in San Diego anymore. I've experienced the boat's new remodel, new crew members, I've even enjoyed Lisa's fine cuisine on every trip. Oh! Didn't I mention that? Lisa, the boat owner, specially prepares the meals at home for every trip. So you don't just get boat burgers, you get real food. I'm talking brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. Hot dogs with home made pickles, pickled cabbage and sour kraut. Potato salad (), baked beans and so on. A different meal every time. Today, a trip on the Black Pearl has become my happy place. When I need a break or just want to fill my freezer, or even just wanna see Gambit, Captain Brian and the crew again, I plan this time for myself. As an experienced angler, it's really not about catching fish, it's about the experience while fishing. Check out these photos over my years on the Pearl.

Deep sea fishing had been a bucket list item for me, so this was special. We boarded the boat to find it clean, organized, and ready to go. Josh got all the rods rigged up on the trip from shore. While he rigged ours, he patiently answered all my questions. I'm a lake fisher so I was interested in the contrast. At our first stop, Captain Kyle announced to us the depth and set us off. The spots were hot and we were catching fish line crazy! If there was the slightest lull in bites, we moved to the next location. As fish were reeled in, the Captain and crew (I feel terrible I can't remember the name of the third crew memeber) were right there to encourage and help. Notable catches were photographed by the crew as well as shipmates. On the trip back, our fish were weighed for the pool contest (I almost won!) and then cleaned. Cost to enter the pool is 10$. The little extra cost for cleaning was sooooo with it. We had three in our party and the cost was about 45 for 30 big fish. I even kept the heads for stock. My advice is simple: dress in layers, pack sunblock, and don't over pack because food and drinks are totally reasonable. Pack an ice chest and buy ice from the Pier. Lastly, have fun! We'll definitely be back to try again.

Locals call the park, Pirate Park, due to the child's pirate ship play structure and nautical theme. The park is two acres advertised as having a children's play area, picnic tables with BBQs, green lawns, public parking lot (2), fish washing station, boater side dock with pump out for waste and access to fresh water, public restroom with showers, walking path towards the waterfront shops, boat launch, and stairs accessing the mud flats. The boat launch parking lot is not free anymore. Effective March 2026, ya gotta pay. Pay varies based on lot size. You can pay daily or get an annual pass. But it's free to launch your boat if that's any consolation. If you're looking for a place to launch your personal crafts (small skiffs, kayaks); this is the place. There are two parking lots. One on each side of the park. The lot furthest south has the boat launch and the lot has spaces large enough for trailers. Plus I gotta comment on the children's play area. It's not a typical park like playground, there are no swings or play equipment. They do have a sand filled area with a mini pirate ship and cute nautical themed concrete statues (octopus, seals, whale tail). What can go wrong with rambunctious kiddos and concrete climbable statues?!

It was a magical experience. The captain and naturalist were so communicative and were on a mission to make sure we got the most of our time out at sea. We are from Southern California and I go whale watching often, and I have never had a crew so determined to find wild life. We saw several humpbacks, sea lions, and a superpod of short beaked common dolphins (including so many babies), and sea lions. We were on the 10/9/26 9am tour. It was an absolutely amazing experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. By far the best whale watching tour I have ever been on. Also, if the captain asks if you want to take a picture with a toy humpback whale on your way back to the dock - SAY YES!

But my day came yesterday, Beautiful day at 6AM we meet at Morro Bay. I met the 3 other fisherman, Mark and his son Cassidy, and his son Carter. This trip which is a put together trip I was sone person that did not have to pay for the whole boat. Just my 1/4th. Captain Rich was on time to pick us up on his boat and off we went through the inlet and out to see north towards Cambria. Captain explained to us what our plans were and the options we could choose. Halibut was our primary target, rock fish and ling cod 2nd, and if the salmon were biting that could change everything. On our second drift Carter caught a nice California halibut a few inches over legal. After several drifts nothing on Halibut so we changed to rock fish. Captain Rich put us on the meat as we all started to fill our limits with Reds, Ling and a mix of other rock fish. As it slowed the Captain said let's go find some sandy bottom and get back to Halibut. His intel said that the salmon were just not biting so we all agreed let's find the halibut. WE had a few bites and then I hooked up with a nice 15 pounder. Captain had some nice sandy bottoms for us to try and get them, but they just did not cooperate. All in all I loved this trip and the captan and fishing style. I have been on the Virgs and Black Pearl 6 times a year but this is the way to really enjoy fishing . Personal attention to the gear and how we are using it. Fun, Fun, Fun I look forward to many more trips with CCFC.
