Searcher is a 95-foot long, 24-foot wide sportfisher operating out of Fisherman’s Landing in San Diego, California. Fourteen cabins sleep two or three anglers each and have storage shelves, sink, mirror, and a 110-volt AC outlet. Each bunk has sheets, blankets, and pillows. There are four restrooms, two showers, a large indoor dining and relaxing salon, and padded benches on the upper observation deck. The boat is air-conditioned throughout.
Searcher’s bait tanks carry 250 scoops of bait for plenty of casts. Our 10-ton freezer with RSW (refrigerated saltwater) will store your fish until we get to the dock. There you can do business with reputable canning, filleting and smoking companies.
I take pride in caring for Searcher and keeping all systems operating well. I make sure passengers are safe and well-fed with the freshest ingredients, and that they enjoy great fishing, with their catch preserved in one of the top systems.
