Captain Nick Miraglia is a licensed professional with 20 years of experience with the U.S. Coast Guard. With his extensive background in fishing across various locations such as Alaska, the California coast, Mexico, and even through the Panama Canal, he is highly skilled. Additionally, he has served as a captain off the coast of Hawaii for 18 years.
Join Capt. Nick on his 39’ Luhrs, a spacious boat equipped with an air-conditioned cabin, two fighting chairs, and top-notch fishing gear for catching large fish. The cabin can comfortably accommodate 4–6 guests and offers easy access to the flybridge, which can seat 6 individuals. Even if your main goal is not fishing, you will still enjoy the amenities this boat has to offer.
Regardless of your level of experience, you can have an exciting fishing adventure. Capt. Nick has helped over two dozen first-timers catch their first Marlin. You can customize your trip based on your target species, such as kite fishing for Bluefin near San Clemente Island, trolling for Marlin at popular spots, or patty-hopping for Yellowtail, Dorado, and Yellowfin Tuna. Alternatively, you can choose to fish for White Sea Bass at Catalina. The possibilities are endless!
Your fishing equipment will be fully provided, and complimentary soft drinks and snacks will be available. The crew will also clean your catch, ensuring you can enjoy a delicious meal with your fresh catch. Embark on your next adventure with Dana Point Custom Fishing Charters!
Please note that if the Captain doesn't respond immediately to your inquiry, he is likely on a fishing trip and will get back to you as soon as possible.
SPECIAL NOTE: On July 1st and September 2nd, according to California law, a fishing license is not required for trips.
