22nd Street Sportfishing

What 22nd Street Sportfishing does

22nd Street Sportfishing is a privately held sportfishing landing operating from 141 West 22nd Street in San Pedro, California. The company manages a 9-vessel fleet ranging from 38 to 75 feet (Amigo, Freedom, Ghost, Kamryn Dawson, Monte Carlo, Native Sun, Pride, Pursuit, and Truline), each owned and captained by independent operators under the umbrella of the landing. The fleet runs daily open-party fishing trips targeting species around Catalina Island, San Clemente Island, San Nicolas Island, Santa Barbara Island, Tanner Bank, Cortez Bank, and Southern California coastal waters, with trip durations spanning half-day to 2.5-day offshore expeditions.

The core technology stack consists of commercial sportfishing vessels equipped with Furuno side-scan sonar, radar, depth finders, chart plotters, and on select boats Starlink satellite connectivity, refrigerated seawater (RSW) fish storage at 33 degrees, and gyro-stabilized binoculars. The Kamryn Dawson, a 48-foot private charter vessel, additionally supports specialty services including six-pack sportfishing, whale watching, harbor tours, lobstering, scuba diving, burials at sea, and private boating instruction. The digital layer comprises a Fishing Reservations LLC-powered booking system, a TECK.net-designed website, and SoCalFishReports.com-integrated fish count publishing.

Revenue is generated through a direct-to-consumer model via two primary streams: per-ticket open-party trip sales (cash or credit with a 3% surcharge on some boats) and full-boat private charter bookings requiring a 50% deposit 30 days prior to departure. Ancillary revenue comes from fishing license sales (the landing is an authorized California Fish and Wildlife License Dealer), rod and tackle rentals ($15-$100), fish cleaning services, onboard galley sales, and specialty charters. Customer segments include recreational individual anglers, families, tourists, private groups, and corporate event planners, with charter prices ranging from roughly $1,400 for a six-pack outing to $19,000 for a 2.5-day offshore charter.
