We had two groups, ours being on the witchy women. Noah was our guide and he was amazing! Incredibly helpful and great, leading us to where we would catch the most fish! We had a great time, and will request him if we are ever back!

We went out on a group fishing trip the 5th of July with Daron and Barry. I just wanted to point out how awesome they really are! My boyfriend has been fishing before and had an amazing time picking their brains to learn more. I had never been before & now I love fishing! They were so helpful and nice to everybody. We caught different kinds of sharks, halibut, and a couple different kinds of bass. *All sharks & fish under sized were returned to the ocean (: * Just wanted to send a big thank you for a trip we will never forget! We hope to see you all again soon. Stay awesome!

The owner of this charter boat is awesome. A Captain who was paid to do a charter refused to take a party out fishing and used racial slurs and lied about the party to the police to get a negative response towards the paying customers.The owner fired the captain and is making it right to the customers. The whole incident occurred on YouTube Live of the captain suing racial slurs and even told the police when they refused to do anything to the paying party that he hopes they get a hot one. Meaning he hopes they get shot.That captain has some serious issues. The owner recognized that and terminated his employment. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CHARTER BOAT!! The next time I am in San Diego I will definitely make it a point to use them for some awesome deep sea fishing. You should too.

I booked the 42 ft boat for local offshore & kelp fishing. We were taken out in a 31 foot. If the boat I booked was not available, why was I able to book it online? More importantly, our captain never left the bay. Again, I booked local offshore/kelp bed (My receipt says the same) as described on your web site. I could have rented a pontoon boat on my own & bottom fished San Diego bay! Also, our “Capt” had zero idea how to operate the boat (apparently the owner sends inexperienced contractors to operate his boat). Twin 225s tilled up. Boat never went over 10 mph. Guys working the bait barge had to tell the Capt that his props were out of the water. We also fished the same 100 yard area of the bay all day. Lastly, the Capt never offered to clean the one fish we were able to keep. Trip was not what I bought. I’ll pay for fishing all day & I know there’s never a guarantee of fish, however, not taking a customer on the actual trip booked is not acceptable. DO NOT use this charter service!

I am an avid fisherman from Florida. A recent event proved to me just how sincere this man is about what he does. If I ever have the time when Im in the area, I guarantee I will book a trip with them.Hook me up on some of that halibut. Maybe a tuna too.In my opinion you should have a 5 star rating.

I saw an incident on YouTube where the Captain refused to do his job, and then called the police to arrest the clients that paid for the charter, even though they didnt commit a crime. The boat owner needs to do a better job in hiring professional crew members. I hope this was an isolated incident, and the owner fires that rogue crew member.Edit: This review is being changed to 5 stars because the owner has taken ownership of the incident and fired the Captain that was on duty that day.

OMG, my wife and 8 year old Twin boys had the time of our lives. Captain Mike was the absolute best captain EVER. He was so patient with the boys knew exactly where to go for the fish.I can’t believe it, we all caught Halibuts, 1 being a 15lb keeper.The boat is awesome and very comfy. I would recommend the half day trip for a young family.This was such a great experience. Nathan the owner is so easy to work with

I witnessed online an employee of this company take it upon himself to refuse to take out a paid charter, based on personal feelings about the customers who paid. The owner made it right. That is a stand up owner. I would definitely recommend this company based on the owners actions. Thank you long run sportfishing for doing what is right!

I am editing this review. People make a reservation put a down payment of about $500 the captain shows up over an hour late! Then wont allow the people on his boat! Then calls the cops and wont give back their deposit!. The owner found out almost immediately fired the so-called captain on the spot! The owner is making it up to the people that made the reservation

Review №20

It was a beautiful day for fishing though only 2 out of 3 of us caught one fish, and not big enough to bring home. For the price, on a boat with only 6 of us, I expected to catch a few between us since the 1/2 day trips with other companies were bringing in a ton of bottom fish each day that week. Captain Ross and deckhand Jessie were very helpful baiting our poles and making sure we were comfortable, and fish caught for the day included some Sea Bass and Halibut.

Review №21

We caught fish and had a great day. Any day on the water is better than sitting at home. I wish we had more time fishing and less time moving. We spent about 2 hours out of it so hours moving. I know its called fishing not catching but I was hoping Mike would have put us on some better quality fish. There was only one keeper for the whole day with 6 people fishing. The boat was a little dirty. Could use a little cleaning but for the most part it was ok.

Had a great time fishing with friends and family on The Long Run. Ross was our deck hand, he was the hardest working and most helpful guy we could have asked for. They put us on the fish and we caught over twenty tuna that day. Overall it was a great trip and I highly recommend them!

Review №26

This Boat is a Disaster waiting to happen. Very Old, Tight on rail space, and Lots of mechanical issues. I personally sustained major injuries to my shoulder due to Captain negligence (Cap. Robert Brillhart).. In the Long Run take your hard earned money to a safer more knowledgeable charter. You could possibly save your friends/families or even your own Life! This is my opinion take it or leave it.

I recently picked up fishing as something to get-out-and-do. Ive been on three different fishing tours with three different guides. One was disastrous. Another was much better, which I though was good, until I tried The Long Run Sportfishing (TLRS). Ive gone out with them twice now, the first time was hands down the best fishing trip Ive been on. The guides were helpful. The fishing was great, caught a yellowfin and later a halibut. The other customers were positive and friendly. The boat, gear, and tackle were all in good order and well kept. But also, the crew were professional while still easygoing and knowledgeable. So I went out again a month later with TLRS. My experience was almost as good, the only difference was the fish werent as accommodating for the first part of the day. The Captain took us to a different spot which really made a difference to the day. Of course the Captain and the crew cant control the fish or where they will be, but they did a great job with how it all played out.If you are looking for a one-off fishing trip or if you are looking for more frequent trips with a good organization. I would highly recommend The Long Run Sportfishing as the sport fishing guides to get it done, and done well. Cheers!

My family and I went on our second fishing trip on the Long Run. What a fun time we had. We caught even more fish than the first trip. The crew was so nice and so helpful. Helped us reel one in that we almost lost. They gave us some good tips on preparing our fish too. When we return to San Diego, we will book with them again.

Captain Chris Anderson and the Deck hand Rainbow were awesome!! It was like being with your friends that knew where the fish were. I highly recommend this outfit and crew. Us guys on the boat were ready to go offshore but the lady’s chose inshore and we still had a blast. Captain Chris knows all the different spots and Rainbow is the icing on the cake. Fish count for the day... (5) Halibut (2) Sand bass. Thank you for a great day on the water .Chad Priest

My friends and I chartered the Long Run with Captain Nathan for 1/2 day trip. He and his crew were awesome and put us on the fish. Our trip yielded several halibut (4 keepers) and some fun leopard shark fishing which was totally unexpected. As novice fisherman, we could not have asked for a better experience in San Diego Bay. The professionalism and service provided by this crew was top notch and all of us look forward to doing it again.

Review №36

This trip was a gift for my grandson, his first deep sea fishing trip. I verified with Nathan the day before our trip we were on our way and requested location information and what licenses we needed. He gave license info and verified wrong info on how many aglers we had. I told him correct number and he said I didnt pay enough for four anglers (the additional 1 person would have doubled my fee!) And there was no room for the additional person as there were already 3 other people signed up.I had to send a copy of my receipt to prove what I signed up for and he said he had us down for the wrong trip. No offer to fix it.I told him I needed it fixed. He told me (after several hours) to contact another company. I did, very nice people, however, it turned out the captain was inexperienced and nearly hit a concrete pier. I signed up for a yellow tail trip but they talked my guests into staying in the bay. Promised we would catch more fish, they were killing them in the bay.We caught two small fish, not keepers, all day. I did not get what I paid for, not even an apology from Nate. Would have done better on a party boat. Spend your money someplace else.

Review №37

Well let’s say by we rented out the whole fleet. They told us don’t worry about food and drinks and everything is taking care of. Nope, had to pay for our bait fish. Didn’t even go deep sea fishing but call it in-shore bay fishing. We got lucky that we brought our own drinks or we would’ve died. 3 boats, no drinks and no food. Not only that, they caption called day of and said he got food poisoning and so we waited longer for another person to come. Spent over 3k for couple small size fish in the bay. I could’ve went to the fish market to have a better experience. I swear they husseled us. Telling us we been getting big tuna and this and that. What a joke!!

Review №38

This was the best fishing experience of my life. Granted I dont fish often, but I may start going more after this experience.The start of the trip I told Captain Nathan I hadnt had much luck catching fish in my life and he guaranteed me we would find some. He displayed incredible knowledge chasing down the spots where he somehow knew where fish were. He was extremely helpful and patient with me as I was learning all the basics of fishing and, as promised, I caught a grip of fish; what a rush. My cousin, who is an experienced fisherman, had an equally great experience. Its nice having a boat that isnt packed with people. There was plenty of room to wander to opposite sides of the deck and get some solo time while I was fishing.I feel like theres a lot of boats you can go out on in the area and its about selecting the one that will give you the best experience. In my opinion The Long Run is the best choice out there.

My 6th year fishing with Nathan and The long run, Im never disappointed! They are the ultimate hosts every fisherman should experience.

Had a great time on the 6 hour fishing trip. We went offshore at first but didnt get much action there. Then, Mike, our deckhand suggested we go back into the bay and we had a lot more luck. He really knows what he is talking about! We caught a bunch of spotted bay bass and two keeper halibut!!! Mike was super helpful and nice. Beautiful day on the water, great boat. Would definitely recommend.

This was the best part of our trip to San Diego!! I contacted Nathan prior to my trip to San Diego and he answered every single one of my questions and assured me that I would have a great time- and he was right! Our deckhand was Mike and our Captian was Gregg- we couldnt have asked for a better crew! Both gentleman are so knowledgeable in everything that had to do with fishing. (They have both professionally fished all over the world and US!) From the type of fish we were catching to the operations of the boat- Mike and Gregg were total professionals! They were also so personable and funny- it make the trip amazing! We even caught a Mantis Shrimp, which was awesome!!Thank you to Nathan, Mike and Gregg for making this such an amazing experience for my family and I. I recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in San Diego! Top notch crew and top notch operation! :) :)P.S. Dont forget to tip your Captain and deckhand! They worked so hard to make sure that we were having an amazing time and they absolutely deserve to be tipped!

Review №53

This was my first private charter and I didnt really know what to expect. I have read reviews about salty captains and crew members on other six packs so I was a little hesitant about booking this 12 hour trip. The captain, Brendan, and crew members John and Carson made me feel like we were old pals:) Crew was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Owner Nathan also provided all of the information I requested via MULTIPLE emails and texts:) He is very accommodating and I will definitely fish on this boat again. Everybody went home with fillets, whether they hooked up or not. They supply all of the gear, AND bait, AND tackle -- and let me tell you, you will not be disappointed by the array of rods, reels and jigs. The boat itself is very comfy. I took a few power naps and was able to store my food and beverages in their fridge. I cant wait to go again.

I had one of my best experience boat trip with The Long Run Sportfishing today. The crew Captain Clinton & Captain Aaron were very experienced and helpful, very friendly and nice people. I enjoyed my trip. My special thank you to Captain Beall for all arrangements and great organizations, he sent me information I needed to know about food, meds cloths, ...etc right before the trip. Even I just decided to go fishing trip last night they all helped me to get to the boat right on time. Captain Beall made it happened with a great advice and responded all my inquires.This was a great memory for me from San Diego before I leave this city. Thank you The Long Run Sportfishing team for this great experience.

Showed up bright and early for my groups 6 hour half day trip. Parking is a breeze as there is free parking lot across the street from the marina. The captain greeted us at the marina office and we headed to the boat. After the safety orientation we picked up some live bait and went to fish in the kelp. Mostly did some bottom fishing, got quite a few rockfish and hooked into something really big that got away. The crew was very helpful and informative and the boat was clean and organized. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

This is a great way to experience the views at San Diego Harbor. The crew is friendly, tackle and bait is provided. Their dock is located close to San Diego Airport at Harbor Island, making it convenient and memorable to try while on vacation.

Rick and Scott where absolutely wonderful! We where not able to fish in the ocean due to the large swells, but Rick and Scott would not let that ruin our day.

I would recommend going with those 2 and we will definitely go again with them when we return to San Diego!

Had a good time. Full day shark fishing, almost 13 hrs! Didnt catch any shark but did catch some rock fish at the end of the day. The four of us had a relaxing time on the boat. Captain did a great job and nice to hang out with. Some misunderstanding about food being taken care of didnt happen. Were told to just bring some beer if we wanted to and everything else would be taken care of. Captain was unaware of that and said if we requested food then they would have had a second person to prepare food for us. We were satisfied with the experience just not satisfied going hungry.

Captain was a little late when everyone else on the boat was waiting for him. The toilets were absolutely disgusting. A member on the boat caught a halibut (22 lbs) and the person who caught it didnt want any, so our group of 3 were going to take it all home, the Captain asked is he could have a piece or two and we agreed he could, but when we got to our hotel we noticed he took 2 whole fillets... so about 8 lbs of halibut!!!!! Best of luck to this company.

I had an amazing time on The Long Run with Woody and Rick! Caught some Shovel Sharks, enjoyed the SD breeze, and took in the amazing views of the skyline of San Diego. As a first time fisher, they were great with giving us pointers on the proper techniques, helped us reel fish in and made sure to keep moving so we could follow where the fish were. I had such a great experience and am looking forward to my next trip!

You cannot beat the experience level of The Long Run crew. Both Captains Rick Kelly and Michael Wood Woody along with owner Nathan Beall, have over 100 years combined professional experience in local waters. The boat is roomy and comfortable and quiet with very little to no smell of diesel fumes. This boat brings the big fish home. Check out the photo gallery and see for yourself.

We did a six hour (half day) charter with Captain Rick and Blake. I was a little nervous about spending that amount of time on the water with three kids under 10. But Blake and Rick took the time to work with each of my boys and we had a very successful day of fishing for Bonita Tuna, Mackeral, Sand Bass and Halibut! The boys caught 10-15 fish each, had fun on the boat and made a lifetime memory. Thank you!

Very poor and inaccurate communication from the owner Nathan, especially the morning of the trip, was 1 hour late getting out on the water trying to figure out who the captain was and what boat we were going out on.

I had an okay time- it was a beautiful day and the water was calm. I enjoyed the boat ride more than fishing itself. Ive been on better fishing boats for least expensive, but enjoyed having a smaller group. Directions and itinerary could be more precise and professionally laid out (they sent me a screenshot of a text message by email) and calling the captain 1-2 days before was inconvienent. Staff brought up tipping on several occasions. I would add this aspect of the trip to the Groupon page or website if its expected.. While i respect that closed mouths go hungry, bringing up tipping is tacky. Overall a good time

Just finished an awesome 18 hour trip with Nathan on The Long Run~ He is a talented fisherman with over 25 years of experience and it showed. With in a few hours of trolling we hooked up a nice blue fin tuna and finished the trip with 9 20+ pound yellowfin tuna. The boat is 40 feet long and you can walk around the entire boat giving you plenty of fishing area. If deep sea fishing is not your thing they offer nice local halibut and bass fishing in San Diego Bay and La Jolla Kelp beds as well. Thank you Nathan! Will definitely do it again!

Just walked off the boat and my husband and I are absolutely amazed at how much fun we had. Capt Rick and Blake were AMAZING. First 5 minutes we had both caught a yellow tail and it got better as the morning went on. We saw a hammerhead shark and several sea lions. As the morning went on the fishing got better and better, yellowtail, bonita, and calico sea bass were all over the place it seems. Captain Rick and Blake are true professionals and we would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends and family.

I purchased this 6 hour trip for my husband and dad for Fathers Day. The directions for the morning of trip were inaccurate. We arrived early, no one was at the assigned gate and an ice chest loaded with drinks had to moved several times as staff finally arrived at a different gate and they figured out which boat to take that would fit all the customers (first boat was too small). The final boat was dirty with trash cans full of the previous days beer cans and needed to be spayed down to clean it before leaving and the gas gauge was 1/4 full. The first stop was to get bait and then the boat returned to the bay, citing rough water and sick customers from the day before, as a reason they would not go further than the bay. The instructions given to customers advised motion sickness medication so this was a lame excuse (all of this trips customers had meds). It was more likely that there was not enough gas. By the time fishing started, it was 2 hours later and after 3.5 hours, it was time to head back. So this was NOT a six hour trip. Yes, fish were caught (2 tasty ones) and the guy helping bait lines and filet the fish was awesome. We contacted the company owner and he apologized for the condition of the boat and confusion to board the correct boat. Apparently he contracts with other boats to take customers and they have smaller boats. He offered a repeat trip with only a $25 discount on his own boat that is larger and can handle winds that may cause motion illness, and it is faster as well, so there would be more time to actually fish. No thank you. I didnt know I was getting a substandard substitute experience when I booked the trip.

We had so much fun on The Long Run! Nathan was very knowledgable and informative knowing where and when to catch whatevers in season. During my trip I caught a mako shark which Nathan had to help me reel in of course! He cleaned and filleted it for us back at the dock. A great experience to say the least and looking forward to booking future trips because we really had a great time :)

Review №90

First all we caught fish so mission accomplished but, we did a 18 hr trip on the boat we left around 130 am went and go bait blah blah blah time to get some rest so could get up at 5ish and start fishing. Lol think again the 4 bunks pictured online are the boats starage room so we slept at the table with legs on ice chests. The bait was distressed by 9 am as the bait tank is too small or overcrowded i dont know but most all the fish were no longer swimming by 1 and its in the way of prime fishing space on rear of boat. The railing is kinda sketchy it seems too low to be trying to catch a 30 lb tuna, I was more preoccupied by trying not to fall in then real in a fish. Blake knows his fishing and can see a kelp Patty from a half mile away. Larry our captain is the new most interesting guy on earth he explained all my stupid questions and threw one line out the whole trip and caught a 25lb tuna. All in all boat is great for a day trip not an over night. crew was all I could ask for they knew where and how to get the fish. Thus 4 out of 5. It was an awesome trip il never forget. Thanks Larry and Blake
