About Odyssey Sportfishing Dana Point

Odyssey Sportfishing Dana Point operates private fishing charters from Dana Point Harbor in south Orange County, where visitors board the Second Chance, a fully customized Parker 2520XL vessel. Captain Daniel LaBarbera, who grew up on these waters, leads personalized fishing and whale watching trips. The operation offers three trip types: inshore excursions exploring nearby reefs, kelp forests, and shoreline accessible only by boat; offshore deep sea adventures targeting dorado, tuna, yellowtail, and marlin; and island fishing trips to Catalina and San Clemente. Inshore trips range from two to seven hours. Offshore trips run seven to twelve hours with a maximum of four anglers. The vessel includes technique-specific rods and reels, live or fresh frozen bait, ice and fish storage, fish processing, bottled water, snacks, a private restroom, and a pilot house cabin. Life vests for children under fourteen are provided onboard. The operation accommodates groups of up to four adults or five with small children.
