Welcome to Wild Wave Sportfishing – San Francisco’s Premiere Fishing Charter Boat!
The Wild Wave is one of the finest local charter fishing boats in San Francisco, California. Skippered by Captain Tom, this 32′ Roberts built vessel was built for the rough waters and provides plenty of fishing room along the rail. Guests can choose to fish along the San Francisco coast while taking in the bay’s beautiful sights. Or, they can choose deep sea fishing where the most impressive fish is located.
At the helm of the Wild Wave and his crew, Captain Tom will make sure you have a safe, pleasant, and enjoyable trip. Tom was very fortunate; his father, Tom Sr. took him fishing with him every time he went and passed along his fishing love. In 1997, El Nino hit the California coast with warm water, where Tom and crew set a California State record for a one-day trip for Albacore, which stands to this day. Captain Tom has held a United States Captain’s License for over 25 years.

I can’t sing Captain Tom‘s praises enough! This is our second trip through Wild Wave with Tom and we have never been disappointed! Not only did my fiancé and I catch our limit on both trips, but Tom and his deckhands were so knowledgable and fun to be around! We would all pal around while waiting for hits – talking fishing, San Francisco, hobbies, pedicures, weddings, recipes, drinking, etc. It was such an easygoing morning. When we weren’t fighting monster fish, that is!

So much fun. Caught our limit had a great time lifelong memories. Very addicting. so cool to just fish in the Bay area looking at the Golden gate bridge and all the other sites what a treat. First class service. Captain Tom and Captain Mike are amazing.
It was my wife’s first time fishing after 25 years and she had so much fun and fell in love with fishing all over again. My son loves fishing as do I what a trip. So much fun.
