Blue Runner Sport Fishing

. Join us for a day of salmon fishing on the Pacific Coast just beyond the San Francisco Bay.

Captain Todd Magaline of the F/V Blue Runner offers world-class fishing for king salmon, striped bass, halibut, albacore tuna.

The newly refurbished 43′ US Coast Guard certified Blue Runner is a DELTA, commonly regarded as one of the best, most stable charter fishing boats ever built with fine creature comforts and the best electronics money can buy! If there are fish out there, we’ll get you to them.

In addition to salmon fishing and sportfishing, we are proud to offer private party boat charters for sightseeing, memorial services and parties on the San Francisco Bay.

We offer the best salmon fishing and sportfishing off the Northern California Coastline and in the San Franciso Bay. In addition to salmon fishing charters, we also run party boat fishing charters and deep sea fishing charters for stripers, halibut and tuna. When the salmon are running, we do everything we can to get you out to the fish and get them into the boat.

The San Francisco Bay area has long been one of the best places to fish for salmon in California and the coastline along Marin County has long been a hot area to fish for salmon during the height of the salmon season. Boats based in Sausalito have the fastest access to the fishing grounds, as far as Point Reyes to the North, the Farallon Islands to the west or Half Moon Bay to the south. Limits of king salmon (two fish per fishermen) must meet the minimum size requirement of 24 inches long. During peak fishing times, we do our best to hit limits. The salmon season in the Bay Area usually runs from April through October, as determined by the regulations set by the federal and state fishery management agencies.

We are one of the few boats that ice our fish.
