Meet the Captain & the Boat

Our Story

A family-run Berkeley charter carrying on the Fish Invader tradition, captained by one of the few female six-pack captains in the Bay Area.

This Is Where It Starts

More than just another fishing trip

Fish Invader is a family-run Berkeley, California operation offering Bay, Delta, coastal and offshore fishing aboard a custom-built 2021 290 Sea Raider. Whether guests are chasing salmon, halibut, lingcod, rockfish, tuna, sturgeon, shark or crab, or simply out for sightseeing and whale watching, the focus is on creating an experience that is more than just another day on the water.

The Captain

Captain Stephanie

Captain Stephanie carries on the Fish Invader tradition after learning from Captain Floyd Porteous, who brought more than 45 years of fishing experience to the business. She is one of the few female six-pack captains working the Bay Area.

She is Merchant Mariner Credentialed, insured, certified in First Aid and CPR, and enrolled in a USCG drug testing consortium, so you can focus on the fishing.
