The Islander is requiring that we notify you that we will be trading in our kayaks for tuna gear at no additional cost to you if the weather does not allow for safe kayak fishing operations. If the fleet is able to fish, they do not want to cancel. This kills their business just as much as it hurts ours. If this is an issue, please do not book as we will not offer a refund for this scenario.

Our plan is to run every single one of these trips as a kayak mothership trip to San Clemente Island. If San Clemente Island is un-fishable due to weather/conditions, but Catalina is safe, then the Islander will move to give the anglers a good shot at fishable conditions. This is the call of the captain, not Fish Village. The combined factors of weather, conditions and the Navy impact the Islander’s ability to fish San Clemente Island.

Fish Village will help you prepare for this trip. We offer a Trip Guide after you make your deposit that helps take the mystery out of the trip. The Trip Guide will tell you what kind of gear to bring, how much, etc.

Do you get sea sick? If you do consider getting the patch or taking Bonine or Dramamine.

This is not an endorsed ad. We use a variety of different methods that suite the individual. We are merely making a suggestion.

This trip requires you to bring your own kayak and kayak fishing gear. We do not rent kayaks on this trip.
