Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Shant consistently delivers exceptional bluefin tuna fishing results, with customers regularly catching trophy-sized fish including a massive 275-pound cow and multiple 200-pound yellowfin. His deep knowledge of prime fishing grounds around Catalina Island helps groups limit out on quality bluefin before the day ends. Whether targeting yellowtail, rockfish, sculpin, or the prized bluefin tuna, Shant's expertise in reading the water and finding active fish keeps rods bent all day long. Customers appreciate Shant's genuine patience with first-time ocean anglers and his skill at making lake fishermen comfortable with saltwater techniques. Families with kids ages 9-11 have fantastic experiences, with Shant creating welcoming environments where everyone feels included. His clean, well-equipped boat and professional crew handle everything from gear setup to fish cleaning, while bonus wildlife encounters with dolphins, seals, and pelicans add magic to every trip.

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 before heading back. We were joined by seals, pelicans, and even dolphins along the way. The seals definitely took their share of our catch in the afternoon! Highly recommend booking a trip with Shant for families—we're already planning to come back for Bluefin this summer. Thanks again, Shant!

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 pleasantly surprised. Captain James wants you to catch fish more than you do. Very professional operation. Five stars!
