Dan Hernandez Fishing Adventures offers exclusive 4-pack private fishing charters and boat tours out of Long Beach, California, led by Captain Dan Hernandez, a US Coast Guard 100 Ton licensed captain who has fished Southern California waters his entire life. For more than 38 years, Capt. Dan has taught viewers how to catch fish on his own weekly television fishing program, and more than 25 years ago founded the Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation, using fishing as a tool to build kids’ self-esteem and introduce them to the sport.

Trips run aboard “Mi Sueño,” the business’s private charter fishing boat, specializing in half-day and 3/4-day private fishing trips along the Long Beach and Los Angeles coast, plus trips to Catalina Island and offshore for big game. No fishing experience is needed — the crew assists and educates guests on everything they need to know about fishing in Southern California. Bay and harbor tours, plus day trips to Catalina for groups of 6 or less, round out the offerings.

Everyone 15 and older needs a valid California fishing license, with a lobster card required for lobster charters. All ages are welcomed and genuinely encouraged, with children a real focus of Capt. Dan’s teaching approach. A deposit secures each booking, with the balance due 72 hours before the trip; cancellations require at least one week’s notice for a full credit toward a future trip. An 8% city fee applies, charged by the City of Long Beach Marina Office for dock access. Guests may bring their own food and drinks, as none is provided aboard.

For anglers and families of any experience level near Long Beach, California looking for a genuinely educational, community-minded private fishing charter, Dan Hernandez Fishing Adventures offers an outstanding operation with the well-known, media-featured Captain Dan Hernandez.
