Why we do this

A passion turned reality

Reel Addiction Sportfishing is a licensed certified charter fleet out of the San Francisco Bay Area, dedicated to making forever memories out on the water. Fishing has become a much-needed outlet for some people and in some cases a “Reel Addiction”. The person on the logo is a very dear friend of Captain Ben’s who passed away way too soon. He also shared this passion that we call the “Reel Addiction” and will forever live in the heart of our journey.

What anglers say

Best fishing trip ever! We had an amazing day on the water with great friends, beautiful weather, and an outstanding crew. The captain did a fantastic job putting us on fish and making the whole trip smooth, fun, and memorable.

We went out on a halibut/striper charter with captain Ben and deckhand Dillon. They were both absolutely amazing, beyond knowledgeable and passionate about what they’re doing. I highly recommend both of them to anybody that’s interested.

I was afraid at first because I’ve never been fishing out in the Bay at 5:30 in the morning. Ben and Dylan changed that right away. They are very experienced, confident and easy to be with. They know what they are doing.
