About

The Pride is a 50-foot custom built sport-fishing boat and is Owned and Operated by Michael Potvin. The Pride is equipped with the latest fish finding and navigation equipment to run trips from full day to 2.75 days. It includes an air-conditioned bunk-room that sleeps up to 17 passengers and is licensed for 23 people for full day trips. Each bunk has a privacy curtain ensuring comfortable sleep after a day of fishing.

The Pride has a full-service galley seating up to 12 passengers, complete with a flat screen TV and Starlink. In addition, the Pride has 2 full heads located behind the galley (no walk up to the front of the boat) and a hot shower. Each trip has an experienced chef to ensure that you never go hungry. The Pride also has a large selection of ice-cold beer, soda, water and snacks to keep you hydrated between meals. After the fish is prepped, it is dropped into the boat's 33 degree refrigerated (RSW) garneting the highest grade until it is offloaded at the dock. For a very reasonable fee the crew will process your catch at the end of the fishing day. In short, you cannot go into a store and purchase fish that is as high quality as the fish you will take home after going on our vessel.

In 2015 The Pride was re-equipped with a clean and quiet John Deere 6090AFM diesel engine, along with a 20kw generator. Its single screw operation and large water mufflers make it one of the quietest, if not the quietest Sport Boats in Southern California. Its unique displacement style hull magnetically attracts fish. It is outfitted with the latest fish finding and navigation equipment; including Furuno Side Scanning Sonar, Furuno fcv 1100 fathometer, 2 pairs of gyro stabilized binoculars, bird radar, Mitsubishi satellite dispatch radio with the ability to talk to any vessel in the world, 2 GPS navigators, Nobletec chart plotter, and much more. All these features make the Pride the best setup small charter boat in Socal.
