Luxury Boat Rentals and Private Charters near San Juan Capistrano

This full-day charter runs ten hours from Dana Point aboard the 40' Cabo yacht OHANA. The operator positions the trip as a private, small-group fishing experience—up to six passengers—focused on offshore species. The listing calls out tuna, shark and marlin as targets, with additional opportunities for yellowtail, halibut, bass, barracuda, bonito and rockfish depending on season and conditions. A ten-hour window gives anglers time to run farther from shore to reach productive water and pursue larger pelagics.

For travelers based in San Juan Capistrano seeking a dedicated, all-day fishing excursion, the OHANA charter packages serious rod time with the comforts of a purpose-built sportfisher. Because this is a private charter, expect the crew to tailor the day around your group’s goals and local conditions; the operator’s availability noted in the listing should be confirmed at booking.

The listing also highlights practical inclusions: yacht, fuel, crew, soft drinks, coffee and bottled water, plus preparation of ashes and a rose for each passenger.

For families who want an option to include remote guests, the operator provides live-streaming of the service at no extra charge on request.

If your group’s priority is comfort, music and an easy harbor itinerary, this yacht is configured for social time rather than long-range offshore fishing.
