Sonoma Coast Adventures runs the 38' Tournament-Style Sportfisher Shauna Lee from Bodega Bay's Spud Point Marina, with owner Captain Mike at the helm for the fishing, whale, and crabbing trips, and second mate Skip aboard most trips. The boat is a serious twin-engine sportfisher with a 90-square-foot aft deck for fishing or cruising, full bathroom, spacious salon for shelter when the weather turns, and a flybridge with elevated views for whale photography. Built in Southern California for offshore work, the Shauna Lee handles the open Pacific off Bodega Head with the speed and stability that lets passengers focus on the fishing or the wildlife rather than the boat motion.
The format menu is the editorial differentiator: full-day fishing charters for salmon (when in season), Deep Water Rockfish and Lingcod, half-day or full-day Crab Combo trips that combine fishing with Dungeness pot-pulling, whale watching trips on the same routes Bodega Bay Whale Watching runs, sunset harbor cruises, and ash-scattering services. The fishing is the operation's foundation: Captain Mike has fished the waters off the Sonoma Coast since 1988, and his crew knows where the fish are running on any given week. The whale-watching trips ride on top of the fishing knowledge, which means the boat is in the water more than dedicated whale operators and the passengers benefit from a captain who can read the water for both whales and fish. Family-owned, owner-operated, deeply credentialed in the Sonoma Coast offshore fishery.
