Dana Point Custom Fishing Charters

Dana Point Custom Fishing Charters offers tailored trips to best fit your wishes. If you’d like to fish and dive, or simply fish and relax, the crew can accommodate your needs. They can also take you to Catalina Island or stay inshore and watch Giant Whales travel along the coast of California on their way to Baja Mexico.

Captain Nick Miraglia has been licensed with the U.S. Coast Guard for the last 20 years. He fished on private vessels from Alaska, along the California coast to Mexico, and through the Panama Canal. He also skippered off the corner coast in Hawaii for 18 years.

Join Capt. Nick on his 39’ Luhrs. This spacious boat offers an air-conditioned cabin, two fighting chairs and a first-class tackle for catching big fish. The spacious interior sleeps 4–6 guests, with easy access to the flybridge via a molded staircase that seats 6 people. You’ll enjoy this boat even if catching fish is not your priority.

Even if you’re a novice, you can catch the main prize! Capt. Nick has had over two dozen first-timers catch their first Marlin. Your adventure can be anything, from kite fishing for Bluefin off San Clemente Island, trolling for Marlin on all the high spots, to patty-hopping for Yellowtail, Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna. Or just fishing at Catalina for White Sea Bass. You can customize your trip for whatever you want to fish.

Your fishing equipment is fully covered and they’ll also provide you with soft drinks and snacks. The crew will clean your catch, so you can look forward to a tasty meal!
Start your next adventure with Dana Point Custom Fishing Charters!

If the Captain does not respond to your inquiry right away, he is most likely on the fishing trip and will respond to you as soon as he is back.

SPECIAL NOTE: On July 1st and September 2nd, by California law, a fishing license isn’t required for trips.

I have been licensed with U.S. Coast Guard, 100 tons of fish for the last 20 years. I have skippered vessels from Alaska all the way along the California coast to Mexico and through the Panama Canal. Also, I skippered off the Kona coast in Hawaii for 18 years. I have had over two dozen first timers that catch their first Marlin.
