We are happy to offer kayak crabbing in Northern California for the adventure seeker. This isn’t a typical charter service where we stuff as many people as we can on a big boat and basically go grocery shopping and then send you on your way.
We keep groups small and personal. We will show you how to catch your own crab, clean them, and we love to follow up the success with a fresh crab feed. Our goal is that after a trip with us you will have all the skills necessary to do-it-yourself.
Crabbing is often combined with other forms of fishing, such as, clam digging, rockfish, lingcod, CA halibut, perch, and/or shark fishing.
We typically operate in the beautiful coastal waters of Humboldt and Del Norte Counties – including Trinidad, Eureka, Humboldt Bay, Shelter Cove, and Crescent City.
Crab Season: November 5, 2022 – July 30, 2022
Daily Bag Limit: 10 crab
