Sportfishing in San Diego has always been a competitive venue. Prime Time Sportfishing has "upped the ante" with it's superb, top quality 50 foot sportfisher, operated by veteran professional sportfishing captains. NOW ONE OF THE FEW 6-PACKS WITH RSW! (Refrigerated Sea Water to keep your catch, fresh, delicious and Sushi quality) 6 Pack Charters are available at some of the best rates in the business on a boat fitted for success.
Prime Time is a fine yacht ideal for discrete groups of six or less, fishing the offshore waters of San Diego. Trips vary from half day local kelp fishing trips, targeting such species as Bonito, Barracuda, Calico Bass, Sand Bass, White Sea bass, Yellowtail and Halibut, to fishing one or one and a half days at the Coronado Islands. Coronado fishing trips offer a more exotic locale with a more bountiful and varied catch. Summer fishing is primarily offshore, ranging from 45-80 miles, predominantly into Mexican waters. Targeted species would include Albacore Tuna and Bluefin Tuna in the early summer; Yellowfin Tuna, Big Eye Tuna and occasionally Dorado in the late summer. Large Yellowtail are also targeted on offshore kelp paddies. Late summer and fall will bring Striped Marlin into the local San Diego waters. We are also available for charter, for any fishing tournaments, even into Cabo San Lucas. We go where the fish are!
