OUr Boat
Gatherer Outfitters Sports Fishing Trips and Ocean Adventures take place on the f/v Gatherer, a 28 foot diesel powered Farrallon docked at the Berkeley Marina. The boat carries up to 6 anglers, has a bathroom onboard and seating.
The Gatherer is equipped with top quality fishing gear—Avet lever drag reels and braided line with fluorocarbon liters paired with high end terminal tackle. We use Gamagatzu and Owner hooks.
As commercial fisherman, we always deck bleed, keep the fish well iced, and professional fillet all fish at the dock, so that our clients go home with top of the line, sushi grade seafood.

Fishing makes memories. Gatherer Outfitters trips are a perfect way to bring family together. We carry children’s life jackets, and kids ages 5 and up are welcome and tend to love days on the boat. Our 6 and 9 year kids love to fish on the Gatherer, we think your will too!
