Sea Service Excellent experience. We chartered the Kraken for my late wife's sea service and dispersed the ashes off the coast. The Captain, Richard, was experienced and took us to the place we requested. He positioned the boat with the engines off so that we had a peaceful service.

ALREADY PLANNING ANOTHER TRIP My friend and I had a wonderful time. It was our first time deep sea fishing, and they were more than patient with us, as well as very helpful. I would highly recommend Anchor Charter Boats.

Awesome trip. I would highly recommend this if you want to do some deep sea fishing while in Fort Bragg.   We arrived early didnt have to wait long and the captain was showing us what to do.  The captain (can not remember his name) and the deck hand Ryan  were awesome.  We had some rough seas with huge waves and they got us home safe and sound.  They were very professional and helped my son and I who had never been deep sea fishing before today.  We caught a  couple fish but couldn't keep them.  Even with that it was so much fun.  I would highly recommend doing this with this company.

Exceeded our expectations My son and I booked a bottom fishing and crab combo trip.  We didn’t spend a long time headed to some special place but started fishing within 40 minutes of leaving the dock.  We picked up some lingcod and other rockfish very quickly.  We spent an appropriate amount of time at each stop which was great that Capt. Danny kept moving.  The deck hands (two) were on top of it and helped not only get the fish landed but also helped with rigging and snags. The big bonus was the grab.  Wonderful.  They had planned to have us back by 3 p.m. but we hadn’t picked up enough crab the crew worked harder until we reached our limit!  Instead of 3 pm, we headed for our car around 5:30 pm.  A full and enjoyable day.

Excellent choice for a burial at sea We chose Anchor Charter Service for our daughter's burial at sea after talking to several different services. They were very friendly and helpful. Captain and boat hand made the difficult experience memorable for the 20 people on the trip. Several people became ill with the choppy sea and they were right there to help out. The boat is well equipped too. I am deeply grateful.

Successful whale watching We were concerned about being at the end of whale watching but our observant crew located the whales and drifted along within view for a good while. We had a wonderful and exciting time, met other interesting people and thought it was well worth the money for a great two hour ocean boat ride in the open air.

Saw Several Whales We are in Ft Bragg on vacation. My wife enjoys whale watching and I like to be on the ocean.  This is a comfortable boat and they made every effort to show us whales including staying out an extra 30 minutes.  Be sure to make reservations.

Whale Watching in season is outstanding I called two hours before the trip and was accommodated.  Weather was good, water was fairly smooth.  We found a pod of whales right out of the harbor entrance and were on them for the entire trip.  Captain circled to give the best view of the whales.  Deck hand made sure everyone was seeing the whales.  We saw breechings, spouts, and tails along with porpoises.  Captain pointed out "footprints" so we knew approximately which way the whales were headed.  They explained about mating and answered all questions. There were approximately 30 people so we were on the larger boat the Trek II. As a note, my husband has also gone out on the Trek II for fishing and always returns with a limit of bottom fish. We will definitely be back for both whale watching and fishing with Anchor Charter.

Great Fishing, Great Crew and Great Boats I've been fishing with Anchor Charter Boats for years and the guys there are great to go out with. The Ambush was recently re-powered and they are now doing trips to Point Arena and up to the Lost Coast. Richard and Echo always do their best to make sure that we come back with full sacks of quality fish and have a lot of fun while catching them. When it is salmon season, the crews do their best to get us on the fish. Sometimes the fish aren't biting, but the guys make sure that we still have fun. Fishing is fishing, but it makes the day go by better if you are having a good time. I've been out whale watching with them too. It is amazing that you can start seeing the whales within 5 minutes of leaving the dock. And we have managed to get very close to the whales without disturbing them. We've even seen dolphins and porpoises while we were out there. If you want a great day fishing or whale watching, the guys on the Trek II and Ambush with Anchor Charter Boats will definitely make it happen.

Went out for the first time in the ocean fishing, had a blast and caught limits of rock fish and crabs! Great solid crew and captain. Will be going out with these guys again in the near future!

Last minute decision to see if we could go fishing turned into a great trip. Friend had an amazing time. I was a little hesitant since I’ve not done a lot of ocean fishing and was afraid the crew would be weird. They were all amazing and super friendly. Wish we could remember their names. I kept tangling my line and looking down made me sick. Both the guys helped me happily multiple times. I ended up sick and chumming with lunch but in between puking caught limit. Boat was clean and everything was super easy. Everyone caught their limit. The owner was super nice and answered his phone every time we called unlike all the other charter places. Still waiting on a call back from other two places. Would highly recommend and we’ll be back

Richard is one of the best captains around. Called and made arrangements for 11 people to go out fishing and crabbing mid November. When we arrive the ocean was a mess and we were unable to crab but Richard took the extra time and put the group on the fish. Other than 8 of the 11 getting sick it was a blast of a trip. The deckhands were amazing and the experience all around was perfect for my flatland friends.
