Bay Area Fishing Charters
Premier San Francisco Bay & California Coast Fishing Charters
Led by Captain Joey Gallia, a third-generation professional fisherman and US Coast Guard-certified operator.
Welcome to New Easy Rider Sport Fishing, a full-service fishing guide operation based in Berkeley, California. We fish the region’s premier waters from the California Delta to the Pacific Ocean’s deep blue offshore grounds near the Farallon Islands. Whether you’re joining an open load trip or booking a private charter, Captain Joey Gallia and his crew put you on fish — handling everything from baiting hooks to cleaning your catch before you return to the harbor. Based at Berkeley Marina, we’re easily accessible from anywhere in the Bay Area, just off Interstate 80/580 and minutes north of the Oakland Bay Bridge.
We booked a trip for Father’s Day… for my first time being on a charter and fishing for halibut and striped bass it was so much fun. Tiffany definitely was so much help along with the guys on the crew netting our fish. It was so exciting to catch my first halibut. My dad loved it, and we had such a great time we are definitely going to book another one with the family!

The team/boat way better than expected. The crew are a class act. The skipper and deckhands went way out of their way to try to help out people. The skipper spent more time than necessary to get us our limits on the lingcod. He went the extra mile to make everything happen. Definitely would go back on this boat again. Pleasantly surprised.

This was my first deep sea fishing trip ever along with my 14 year old son and it was just AMAZING! Captain Joey Gallia and his crew were just the best. They were extremely helpful from start to finish. With their knowledge of where and how to land some big fish we were catching fish left and right. Thank you for making this such a memorable trip!

A Great Charter Service. They do not cut costs on their equipment and only buy the best. Safety and reliability are their main concerns. Keeping the crew and guests safe while catching fish. My family has fished with many charters in the bay, this is a professional outfit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to try their hand at the sea.
