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.
Adventue for All Ages
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!
ABOUT US
We are a fishing family. We sell our seafood wholesale and directly to our Bay Area Community, and host charters that bring the adventure, the challenge, the beauty and the bounty of the Pacific Ocean into people’s lives. Captain Adam has worked as commercial fisherman for over 15 years, operating one of the top rod and reel boats in the SF Bay. As a commercial highliner, he made a successful career bringing in top numbers of halibut, salmon and ling cod on hook and line, which he parlayed into commercial crab boat, taking on another challenging and productive local fishery in the Dungeness crab.
Captain Adam is the best 6-pack captain for your serious angeling needs, putting his clients directly on the fish and providing the pro-secrets and techniques for limit filling and record setting days on the water. Make our family boat, stocked with top of the line tackle and delicious hot food and cold drinks, yours for the day, and take home magical memories and your full share of the bounty of the sea.
