Molly’s Boats 

This was the third fishing trip my son and I have tried. We did one in Boston and one in Halifax before this. Molly’s was without a doubt the best experience we’ve ever had! Captain Molly was so personable and fun and nice and deckhand Dan was outstanding too! Captain Molly’s the most thoughtful captain we’ve ever had, too. She had water, ginger, snacks, and other fun fizzy drinks. She took us to great fishing spots that were also beautiful and took care to point out great photo ops. We learned a lot about the California coast, its ecosystem, and history, too. Even if she hadn’t extended the trip just so my son could catch something (🥹), I would rate Molly the highest possible. Definitely book her if you want a great experience, plus beautiful scenery, and a captain who cares about her guests.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing 5–6 hour fishing trip with Captain Molly and Junior! This trip was especially meaningful because we were celebrating my elderly father’s birthday, and they helped make it a day we’ll always remember. From the very beginning, Captain Molly was a wonderful communicator. She was responsive, informative, and incredibly accommodating, even with our last-minute booking. Her flexibility and willingness to work with us made planning the trip stress-free and allowed us to celebrate my dad’s special day exactly how we had hoped. Once on the water, Captain Molly was professional, knowledgeable, and calm. She navigated the boat smoothly, creating a comfortable and relaxing experience for everyone on board. Junior was equally fantastic. He was friendly, helpful, and always ready to offer guidance and assistance. The fishing was exciting and kept us engaged throughout the trip. We caught two bass that we were able to keep, along with a shark, a baby halibut, and a stingray. The variety of catches made for a fun and memorable adventure. What stood out most was the overall atmosphere. The trip was relaxed, enjoyable, and perfectly paced. Seeing my dad smiling and having such a great time on his birthday made the experience even more special. If you’re looking for a fishing charter with a knowledgeable captain, excellent communication, flexibility, and a genuinely enjoyable experience, I highly recommend Captain Molly and Junior. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to book another trip with them! 🎣🎉

Every year I take my grandsons (17 & 13) on a trip somewhere to expose them to something they haven’t done or seen… The fishing trip with Molly and Jr yesterday was this year’s experience. On meeting Molly, she asked what the boys wanted to do… And she delivered everything they wanted and more. The boys caught fish to take home, got to fight some worthy opponents of the water, learned some things about fishing, and were treated to learning how important it is to know the water and its inhabitants. Kudos to Molly and Jr. It was a day that the boys will never forget.

We took the five hour trip. The weather was great. The boat trip was smooth. My son and I caught as much bottom rock cod as we could legally catch. Captain Mollie and her first mate Dave were great finding the best fishing locations, fishing instruction, and Dave even fillet the fish. We still had time to tour various places in the bay. Captain Mollie is very knowledgeable about San Francisco. No ship wreck on this cruise just one of the best trips I have had.

We had an incredible day out on the water with Molly Boat, owned and operated by Captain Molly. This was my son’s first real sea fishing trip, and it turned into a truly unforgettable experience. In past attempts he could barely catch anything, but this time was a complete turnaround. We were lucky to have Captain Bruce join us, and together they made the perfect team. Both were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and great with kids. They explained every step clearly and kept the excitement high throughout the trip. My son was thrilled to land his first big catch ever — a leopard shark close to 60 lbs. We went on to catch several more, including three varieties of sharks and even a stingray. The bonus highlight was Captain Bruce’s pet sea lions. We saved some fish heads for them, and watching them respond to his calls and show up for treats was magical. The kids were completely fascinated and probably enjoyed the sea lion moment just as much as the fishing. Overall, an amazing trip and a perfect first sea fishing memory for my son. Highly recommend Captain Molly and Molly Boat if you want a fun, safe, and unforgettable day on the water.

We had a great/fun/ successful 5 hour charter with Miss Molly and mate Bruce. We caught 10 shark, 3 different types and 1 bat ray. The boat was very comfortable when we needed to get out of the cool air and out of the sun. My grandson had been hoping to catch shark and Molly and Bruce made it happen. Bruce cleaned and fillet our shark and provided bags to put the fillets in until we got to the car where we had our coolers. Molly and Bruce had several stories about fishing locations and the variety of fish that are typically caught during through out the year. Fun trip and well worth it.

Molly and David were exceptionally great hosts. Friendly, knowledgeable and fun! We caught 5 sharks and a Halibut, all went back in the water. My teenagers loved it so much we have booked to go Salmon fishing all day on Sunday, just in time for the new season to start, after 3 year Salmon fishing hiatus there should be plenty to catch - can’t wait! This time we will keep our catch to stock up the freezer :)

It was a little too windy to head out past the Golden Gate, so we tried a few areas in the bay. Captain Molly and Junior turned a slow day on the water into a really good day. Got about a dozen hits, but unfortunately, only one keeper. Very relaxing time and a lot of knowledge shared. Just a very chill atmosphere and experience. 6 hours went by faster than I could ever imagine. Will not hesitate to book with Captain Molly again, looking forward to the salmon season to go out again. Thank you so much Captain Molly and Junior for the wonderful time!!!!!!!!!

We went out on a 7 hour trip and had a great time! Molly and Court we great and really had a good feel for places to go for fishing. We had plenty of time so we went outside of the Golden Gate and caught 20 rockfish in about 2 hours! we changed things up and tried for Halibut and Stripers but didnt have as good a luck. We came awsy with a lot of fish, some amazing views and just a great day out.

Simply put - I’ve been fishing for 35 years. This was, hands down, the best fishing trip I’ve had ever. Captain Molly was absolutely fabulous - from communication to execution. We caught 14 shark in 4 hours (I think we were exceptionally lucky), she supplies snacks and drinks, and makes the entire experience an absolute hoot. Unquestionably, we’re now sold on Captain Molly and plan to fish with her on a regular basis. 100% recommended. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!
