Family friendly, safe and fun fishing charters on the San Francisco Bay, run by an experienced female captain. First-timers and seasoned anglers are equally welcome aboard.
Welcome Aboard Fish Invader
Fish Invader is a family-run charter out of the Berkeley Marina, and every trip is built around a safe, fun day on the water that everyone on the boat enjoys.
Bring the kids, the grandparents or the crew from work. Captain Stephanie and her deckhand handle the gear, the bait, the knots and the fish cleaning, so first-timers learn as they go and experienced anglers can get straight to work.
What We Chase
From a morning salmon bite to an offshore tuna run, gear, bait and fish cleaning are included on every trip. Rates are per person, so you can book individual seats and join a small mixed group, or book the whole boat as a private charter for your group.
Featured Trips
Every charter is fully guided, gear included, and run around the tides and weather that actually put fish in the boat.

Captained by Stephanie
Fish Invader is a family-run Berkeley charter operation. Captain Stephanie carries on the Fish Invader tradition after learning from Captain Floyd Porteous, who brought more than 45 years of experience to the business, and she is one of the few female six-pack captains in the Bay Area.
She is Merchant Mariner Credentialed, insured, certified in First Aid and CPR, and enrolled in a USCG drug testing consortium. It is a family friendly, safe and fun boat, and experienced and novice anglers are equally welcome. Whether you are just starting out or you are an expert angler, in the bay chasing halibut or offshore for lingcod, salmon or the elusive tuna, we can take care of you. The way she sees it, her job is to make the day more than just a fishing trip.
