4-Hour Charter San Diego
Hit the Water Hard, Catch Fish, Keep Your Day
Brothers Sport Fishing’s 4-Hour Charter is built for anglers who want to hit the water hard, catch fish, and still have a life afterward.
Two departures daily: 7:00 am–11:00 am or 1:00 pm–5:00 pm means you can fish the morning bite or run an afternoon session without rearranging your entire schedule.
- Morning: 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
- Afternoon: 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Your group, your boat, your experience. No strangers, no party boat crowds, no waiting around. Just you and your crew on a fully equipped vessel working San Diego’s shoreline.
What Happens on a 4-Hour Charter
San Diego’s nearshore waters are more productive than people give them credit for.
Calico Bass
Sand Bass
Halibut
Bonito
Barracuda
Calico bass, sand bass, halibut, bonito, and barracuda are all realistic targets depending on the season. The 4-Hour Charter keeps you tight to the coastline where these species live, structure, kelp edges, sandy transitions, and your captain will put you on the most productive spots based on what’s biting that day.
Four hours sounds short until you're on fish.
Four hours sounds short until you’re on fish. When the bite is on, it goes fast. Our captains run these routes constantly. They know the spots that produce, and they’re not wasting 45 minutes of your trip running to dead water.
The Boats
Every 4-Hour Charter runs on a vessel equipped with top-tier fishing and navigation equipment. These aren’t weekend boats – they’re purpose-built fishing machines.
Yamaha Outboards
Seeker Rods
Shimano Reels
Simrad GPS/Sonar/Radar
Oversized Bait Tanks
Extra Cooler Space
Oversized bait tanks keep your live bait in prime condition. Three to five scoop bait capacity means you’re not running thin on ammunition when the fish show up. Your catch gets iced immediately – extra cooler space is standard on every boat.
Cruising speeds of 18–27 knots
Cruising speeds of 18–27 knots mean you’re spending your four hours fishing, not commuting. Safety is covered above U.S. Coast Guard minimums: commercial life jackets for adults and children, radar, three VHF radios, including an emergency handheld, and an EPIRB on every trip.
