Captain “Smitty” runs a fun exciting experience. My buddy and I went out for a salmon fishing trip and had a blast! He and his first mate Lee were very helpful when it came to reeling in the fish and also filleted our fish for a small charge at the end of the day. Overall it was a great time and would highly recommend it!

Perfect day out on the Riptide. Captain Smitty and Lee put us on the fish early and our boat limited in an hour. Thanks for the great experience, we will be back

Whether it’s whale watching, memorial services, or fishing(my favorite) Smitty and Lee run a very professional operation. I recommend this boat to anyone looking to experience all of what the San Mateo coast has to offer.

Captain Smitty and his deckhand Captain Lee are hands down the best and most professional guys that I’ve had the pleasure fishing with. They are patient and attentive to their guest, they made our trip a total success. One key fact about Smitty is that his guest safety is paramount!!!! Before the trip I gave Smitty a call several times, to check on what gear to bring and other questions that I had, and not once did I get an inkling that I may be annoying or Bothering him. Smitty took the time and went over all the details of the trip every time. I recommend following his directions by giving him a call the night before you go out, on or about after 5pm, as to give him a chance to get the weather forecast from NOAA. As I mentioned earlier safety is his top priority. Great Salmon fishing, Captain Smitty did his best to put us on fish. The seas were rough but we sill managed well!!! Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ And plus one more ⭐️

Weather Protection Items such as sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, hats, and waterproof clothing are a must on all fishing trips but especially on large boat charters. Clothing Layers are the best way to go when packing for a fishing trip. That means you should bring a windbreaker jacket, shorts, a lightweight shirt, gloves, light-colored clothing, and nonslip shoes. Pharmaceuticals If you’ve never been on the water before, bring sea sickness medication along with bug spray and hand sanitizer. Storage A backpack is a great way to keep everything together. Also bring a cooler, a drinking bottle, and a waterproof bag for electronics. Additional Essentials Remember to pack a camera, towel, your phone, and personal ID.
