THE PRIDE

The Pride is a 50-foot custom-built sport-fishing boat equipped with the latest fishing finding and navigation equipment to run trips from ½ day to 2½ days. It includes an air-conditioned bunk-room that sleeps up too, 18 passengers. Each bunk has a pillow, blanket and privacy curtain ensuring a comfortable sleep after a long day of fishing. After each fish is brought aboard the Pride, the crew immediately spikes, bleeds and gill and guts it if it’s over 40 pounds. After the fish is prepped, it is dropped into the boat’s 33-degree refrigerated seawater (RSW) fish hold to keep it in sashimi grade until it is offloaded at the dock. For a very reasonable fee, the crew will process your catch at the end of the fishing day. In short, you cannot go into a store and purchase fish that is of as high quality as the fish you will take home after going fishing on the Pride.  

The Pride has a full-service galley seating up too 12 passengers, complete with a flat-screen TV and a large selection of movies to pick from. In addition, the Pride has 2 full heads located behind the galley (no walk up to the front of the boat in rough seas) and a hot shower. Each trip has a professional chef aboard to ensure that you never go hungry while out on the water. The Pride also has a large selection of ice-cold beer, soda, water and snacks to keep you hydrated and fed between meals. 

In 2015 The Pride was re-equipped with a clean and quiet John Deere 6090AFM diesel engine, along with a 20kw phasor power generator. Its single screw operation and large water mufflers make it one of the quietest, if not the quietest Sport Boats in Southern California. Its unique displacement style hull magnetically attracts fish, especially Blue-fin. It is also outfitted with the latest fish finding and navigation equipment; including Wesmar Side Scanning Sonar, Furuno FCV 1100 fathometer, 2 pairs of gyro-stabilized binoculars, bird radar, Mitsubishi satellite dispatch radio with the ability to talk to any vessel in the world, 2 GPS navigators, Nobletec chart plotter, and much more. All these features make the Pride the best setup small charter boat in Socal.
