Long Beach Sportfishing, LLC operates a genuinely extensive fleet of open party and private charter boats out of the Port of Long Beach, California, located at 555 Pico Ave just off the 710 Freeway, right next to Berth 55 Seafoods for a fresh seafood meal before or after a trip. Free parking is available on-site.
The larger open-party fleet includes the Eldorado, Victory, El Patron, Ahra-Ahn, and Cee Ray, offering trip types spanning AM Half Day, 3/4 Day, Full Day, Overnight, and Multi-Day (1.5 to 2.5 days, seasonal) options. Two 6-pack private charter boats, the Mardiosa and Chubasco III, are also available, along with four party cruise yachts — the Ibiza and Majorca (up to 150 guests each) and the smaller Wet Dreamz and Miss B Haven (up to 6 guests, specializing in coastal and Catalina Island cruises).
Current open-party trip highlights include the El Patron’s Full Day Catalina Island Freelance (departs 5am, returns 5pm, targeting Yellowtail, Calico Bass, and Halibut, limited to 21 anglers, led by Captain “Phire” Phil Ornelas, the boat’s new owner), the Victory’s 3/4 Day Freelance (departs 6am, $80/person, targeting Calico Bass, Sand Bass, Barracuda, and Rockfish, led by Captains George and Kevin), the Ahra-Ahn’s 1/2 Day Local (Friday-Sunday, $75/person, targeting Rockfish, Sculpin, Bass, and seasonal Barracuda), and the Eldorado’s Overnight Island Freelance (departs 8:30pm nightly, $270-$295/person, targeting Yellowtail, Bluefin Tuna, Calico Bass, Rockfish, Lingcod, Sheephead, and Whitefish).
Ticket prices include bait only — licenses, rental rods, and tackle are separately available at check-in (1-Day Fishing License $21.09, Rod Rental $25, Tackle $8-12). No ice chests, outside food, alcohol, or beverages are permitted (except aboard the 6-pack boats), with a full galley offering breakfast, lunch, snacks, beer, and soda available for purchase on the larger boats. All boats operate cash-only, though cards are accepted at the landing office. All vessels are independently owned and operated.
The business maintains a genuinely detailed, real-time public schedule and year-to-date fish count tracker spanning more than 20 species, including Barracuda, Bluefin Tuna, Bonito, Calico Bass, Dorado, Halibut, Lingcod, Mako Shark, Rockfish, White Seabass, and Yellowtail.
