For over 30 years the Spirit Of Adventure has been considered by many to be one of the finest sport fishing vessels in Southern California. She is 88 feet long and 25 feet wide and provides excellent stability. Her range encompasses 2,500 nautical miles on self-sustained voyages of up to 16 days. The Spirit Of Adventure is S.O.L.A.S. rated to travel anywhere in the world. Her schedule includes not only the Pacific region of the Baja Peninsula, but the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) as well. On board, state-of-the-art safety, navigation and satellite communication equipment ensure safe, comfortable and convenient ocean travel.
Accommodations are provided with 14 air-conditioned private staterooms with storage space, wall to wall carpet, and reading lights. Most staterooms have upper and lower bunk beds with fresh clean linens. Four heads with toilets and three freshwater showers are located on the main deck. A very spacious salon provides room for 28 people and serves everyone in one seating. Accommodations also include a full-service galley, snack bar, modern television, dvd player, library and large exterior deck areas including an upper sun deck.
One of the top priorities on the Spirit Of Adventure is ensuring the highest possible quality of your catch. The Spirit is equipped with high-capacity refrigeration systems that provide for either a RSW (Refrigerated Sea Water) or frozen product upon return. Thorough treatment and care for your fish is taken starting from the gaff all the way back to the dock.
