Aria Sportfishing Customer Reviews

Took our construction crew out for a fishing trip and honestly, it couldn’t have gone better. The boat was clean, the captain and crew were super chill, and everyone had an amazing time. We caught a bunch of fish, shared a lot of laughs, and just got to relax outside of the job s...

Did a private bluefin trip with Shat. I can say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had bluefin fishing. He has a really great boat and he is really knowledgeable about good fishing grounds. We limited out on good grade bluefin before the day was even over.

I highly recommend this boat if you're looking to catch fish.

We booked a last-minute trip just hoping to enjoy a day on the water during this slower time of year for fishing in California—and it turned out amazing. Shant is a fantastic captain and a genuinely great guy who made it a priority to get us on fish. We ended the day with a full ...

We took a day fishing trip to Catalina with Captain Shant as a family—my partner and our two boys, ages 9 and 11—and had a fantastic time. Shant was welcoming, helpful, and great with the kids the entire day. We stopped at the island for lunch, then spent the afternoon fishing be...

Captain Shant and his crew provided outstanding service—highly recommend to anyone looking for a great trip.

Captain James is the real deal. Not because we caught two 200 pound yellowfin, but because he cares about you having a good time while he works diligently to find you fish. Top notch boat, equipment and Captain. If you get a chance to book an Aquiline charter do it. You will be p...

I had an amazing time fishing with Captain Shant Melkonyan of Aria Sportfishing. He really knows his stuff when it comes to bluefin tuna fishing, and he took us to all the best spots. We caught so many fish and had a blast doing it. Highly recommend!

Bluefin Tuna was biting! It was really challenging, great thing we booked with a fine captain! He is very skilled about fishing and knows the perfect spot. Will return tio long beach and book again with him! 5 stars, no doubt.

Aria fishing charter comes highly recommended. We arranged a trip with the boys and had a fantastic time due to Captain Shant! You were really professional and made the event enjoyable for all of us! We will most certainly arrange another vacation soon!

I had a fantastic experience! Captain Mike was fantastic and extremely informed, and he ensured that everything ran perfectly.

Captain Shant and I had a fantastic trip to Catalina. By far my favorite chatter I've ever participated in!

My family and I went on a local half-day vacation, and the kids had a great time! I didn't think we'd catch as many fish as we did. This was my first private charter, and the skipper exceeded my expectations. excellent and beyond all expectations

Appreciate you very lot, Captain! Had a wonderful trip, caught my favorite tuna, and would suggest this approach to any serious angler!
