Step aboard the Salty Pleasure for a day on the Pacific—an eight-guest, well-equipped boat that pairs deep-sea fishing capability with creature comforts so you can focus on the ocean and the line in your hand. Head offshore from Huntington Beach into nutrient-rich waters where trophy fish are the draw, then ease into private coves to swim or relax when the rods are quiet.

THE VESSEL

A compact, fully equipped charter for small groups

Salty Pleasure is set up for a full day on the water: a Bluetooth speaker system and AM/FM stereo, a 150 HP Yamaha engine for a smooth ride, GPS navigation and a fish finder to locate marks, plus a bait tank, fish box and a swim platform for easy water access.

THE TARGETS

Deep-water game and bottom species

Offshore waters off Huntington Beach produce game species including yellowtail, tuna and dorado, as well as bottom fish such as sea bass—offering both trophy opportunities and reliable bottom-fishing action.

THE EXPERIENCE

Captain-led, worry-free days

Every trip is always captained, so navigation, anchoring and boat handling are handled for you; the charter advertises no hidden fees, with fuel, cleaning and taxes included in the price.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

A charter aboard Salty Pleasure unfolds like a compact expedition: a morning departure from Huntington Beach, a run offshore to productive fishing grounds where GPS and fish-finder marks guide the drift, and opportunities later in the day to drop anchor in a private cove to swim or swap stories while cleaning the day’s catch. The boat’s layout and equipment are tuned for both anglers and those who came to relax.
