Pacific Charters, located in Morro Bay, California, offers private sport fishing charters led by Capt. Shawn Stamback, a seasoned captain with extensive maritime experience including service in the United States Coast Guard. The business specializes in small, private fishing trips that provide a personalized and attentive experience, distinguishing it from larger, crowded boats.

The charters include full and half-day trips focused primarily on bottom fishing for a variety of rockfish species such as Vermillion, Copper, and Blue Rockfish, as well as Lingcod and Cabazon. Trips are conducted within three miles of shore, with options to explore the renowned Piedras Blancas lighthouse area for premium fishing opportunities. Anglers receive hands-on guidance with tackle and techniques, and the boat’s spacious layout minimizes tangles and lost gear. The experience is family-friendly, with special attention given to children, and guests may bring their own beverages, enhancing the comfort and enjoyment of the day. Equipment rentals and all-inclusive fishing packages are available, making the charters accessible to anglers of all skill levels.
