Captain Don and Tate were super friendly and nice. Very informative of the area around us.

Captain Don and his crew are the best! Don't bother going on crowded half day boats when you can get personal attention with just your private group. Captain Don put us on fish and he and Tristan's attention to us was amazing. Tons of fun.

Scheduled a fishing outing with Cap'n Don as part of a company outing. We had an amazing time!! There were six of us that went on the 4 hour fishing adventure and we ended up being out there for six hours fishing for shark. Each person caught multiple fish. The crew was super friendly and accommodating 10/10 would go again and book the full day. -

I honestly didn't know what to expect or what I was doing as this was my first fishing experience of any kind. Don and his deck hand Tristan were very good in introducing us to how to fish and what we were looking for. There was indeed a lot of moving in between spots but that was because there was a use of sonar to find the fish.
I had to argue with the captain over whether or not I got actual credit for catching the first fish since I couldn't tell whether I had hooked anything or not, but I guess the whole point of fishing wasn't to sit around with a hook but to try and catch something.
It was a very good experience and the crew of the Fish taxi went above and beyond to make sure everyone caught at least one fish, in the end we caught many. read less

Don puts us on the fish every time! All your rods & tackle are provided, your lines are baited & you’re catered to as a very valuable guest. These guys are great with kids & adults alike! The Fish Taxi is a clean, super friendly boat that’s fully equipped & easy to navigate. I can’t imagine a better, kinder, more knowledgeable captain & crew, let alone someone who works harder to ensure that you catch fish & have a great experience. We can’t wait until our next adventure with The Fish Taxi!
Cons:
It’s VERY addicting & eventually he returns to the harbor!! More read less

Had a wonderful time and are going to do it again. We visit the area once or twice a year and will now add this to our list of regular activities. We went fishing for halibut and while we didn't haul anything into the boat (probably just as well because we couldn't bring it home anyway) but had a whale of a good time. Really, a grey whale decided to escort us from the fishing grounds to port and he put on quite a show jumping and such. And this part was free! Capitan Don and his mate were most friendly and while we didn't catch any halibut, seemed knowledgeable of the area and process. The reservation was easy to make and the boat was in good shape. We had a safety briefing before we departed and we felt both comfortable and safe all day long. Had a grand time! read less - KayLyn GalvinThank you Captain Don and Tristan for a great day!!!

The captain had a wonderful way about teaching my son about the boat, fishing, the fish, etc. The highlight was unexpectedly reeling in a thresher shark even though we were not using tackle for such a feat. My son had a blast catching bait fish (3 on one line) and Calico Bass. He also enjoyed watching the captain filet the fish and the shark. We also saw dolphins and sea lions on the fishing trip. Captain Don gave us tips for cooking the shark and bass which turned out great. We got to fly the shark flag when coming into port and we donated the shark vertebrae and fin to research. read less - Shelley TeallWent out today with Fish Taxi. Had a great trip.

Highly recommend Fish Taxi! Captain Don and Tristan took six of us ranging in age from 9 - 68 out for a six hour fishing trip on 6-15-16. He put us on Calico bass quickly and everyone caught fish. We also caught three large sting rays and several other big fish that broke off. Don and Tristan were very patient with all of us. It was an excellent experience!

Family Private Charter We had a great morning with Captain Don and his mate Dennis. They were very patient with our 4 kids who range in age from 12 to 7. We caught fish to keep including a yellowtail and fish to toss back including a sand shark.
We can't wait to eat the fish we caught! Oh and they even cleaned the fish for us.

We went with a group from work and we had a blast fishing. These guys have it together and provide an exemplary service. Don and Tristen provided one of the best charter fishing services I've ever experienced. I will absolutely be booking more outings with these guys. -

Online booking made it really quick and simple as prices and availabilities are listed.
We met up with Captain Don around 6AM and headed out to sea for about an hour before beginning fishing. The sunrise was beautiful and it was awesome seeing dolphins swimming along the boat. Captain Don kept us entertained and taught us a lot about fishing. We were able to catch some smaller fish and best of all, a Bluefin Tuna!! That means we will have sashimi, sushi, poke, etc for weeks!!
We all had an incredible time on the Fish Taxi. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting occasion with friends and family while in the area! read less

Captain Don and First Mate Ryan were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Don took us straight to a gold mine where we boated our first three Bass within 10 minutes. Him and Ryan were excellent about making sure we always had a line in the water and didn't spend any time struggling. If we got snagged on a rock or the bottom, one of them had a second line ready for us to go while they worked on fixing the other. By the time we got back to shore, Ryan had already gutted, filleted, and double bagged our fish.
Wonderful experience overall, we can't wait to go again. read lessJohn RockwellThis is the place to fish in Oceanside, CA!
