2014 Islander Mothership Schedule
<hr style="COLOR: #ffffff; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" size="1">Here we go! If you've done these trips before, you don't need any convincing. If you've never done one, you owe it to yourself to get on one of these trips, they are unlike any other kayak fishing experience. As always, live bait, food and sodas are included in the price. Alcohol, Fish Cleaning, and Tip are additional.
We did have a slight price increase on the trips this year. Anybody who has gone before will tell you this small increase is well worth it as these trips are AWESOME.
All trips are aboard the Islander and leave out of Fishermans Landing in San Diego bay.
1.5 day trip $330
Fishing SCI
May 23-25 Fri-Sun - FULL w/ Wait List
$315 per person
2.5 day trip $545
Fishing SCI
May 29- June 1st Thur-Sun - CANCELLED
June 26-29 Thur-Sun- Needs approx 6 to run
$545 per person
*New for 2014* 5.5 Day Trip $1650- CANCELLED
Fishing Cedros Bonitos and Mexican coast.
3 full days fishing
June 16-22 Monday pm- Sunday am
$1650 per person. Does not include Mexican Permits. Bring your own or purchase on the boat. This trip must be FULL (22 anglers) to run.
We will have the same booking process, so take note of the following:
When you call to register your spot, we will take a $100 non-refundable deposit on 1.5 and 2.5 day trips and 250.00 for the 5.5 day. The only exceptions to this refund are if the trip does not run (due to weather, or lack of sign ups, acts of God).
14 days prior to the trips departure, we will automatically charge the remaining balance (if you need to pay by different method be sure to contact us prior to this date. Once the remaining balance is paid, that is also non-refundable. If you'd like to pay the trip in full at time of booking, that's up to you, but it will also be non-refundable in the event something comes up that keeps you from doing the trip. This year we would like to avoid doing "Payment Plans" on these trips, this makes book keeping straight and less complicated. We ask that you pay deposite or pay in full only.
*Special note from The Islander: For all 2014 charters ALL Hobie Pro Anglers will not be allowed on the Mothership Charters.
Call OEX Mission Bay (619) 866-6129 to book your reservation

Do you allow adventure islander kayak? I also have a 12' Porta Bote with 4hp outboard, is it possible to take it on this trip? I figured the boat and outboard takes up less space than a kayak.

Still no Pro Angler 12 I assume?
Siebler
12-04-2013, 07:21 AM
No PA's as mentioned in Original post in bold print. No Porta Boat (they dont fit in the kayak rack), and Adventures are fine but Adventure Islands would not be as the Ama's will take up as much room as a second kayak would.
Update to the 5 day.
After speaking with John and Shane of the Islander we have decided to extend the 5 day into a 5.5 day at no additional cost. This will change the fishing time to 3 full days of fishing at Cedros. The boat will now leave at approx 6pm on Monday instead of Tuesday morning.

what about the pa makes it too big, length, width, height, or weight or a combo. my trident 15 is pretty large.

Combo. Width, height, and weight mostly. Nice boats, wish I had one, but a PITA to load, store, and unload on these mothership trips.

Combo. Width, height, and weight mostly. Nice boats, wish I had one, but a PITA to load, store, and unload on these mothership trips.
Exactly. These things are heavy so loading/unloading is really hard on the crew. Also due to the HUGE width and depth of these boats they do not fit in the racks and must be kept on the deck which creates a less safe environment for passengers. Not to mention they would only be able to fit maybe 2-3 of them on the deck meaning that if we opened it up to PA's a lot of folks would get left out.
If you own a PA and want to experience one of these trips dont let your boat stop you. OEX has kayaks for rent for these trips.
Yes you may have to paddle for a day but it is well worth it. Everybody should know how to paddle and practice it on occasion anyway. Mirage drives do fail and if you dont have at least a somewhat decent paddle stroke you are going to be hating life when it happens (especially on a PA).

I'd love to do the 5.5 at Cedros but I'll already be on an 8 day on the Independence that week. I'll jump on one of the other trips tho so someone save me a bunk!! If anyone with only a PA wants to go but cant go because of it let me know. I have a a Trident 11 that I would be able to lend out if someone honest and respectful needs it. It is my only yak to date so I would like it to be in good hands if it helps for everyone else to get this trip to run ....

Need to find a bigger boat or better one, too many PA's here, makes no sense to rent a yak when you own a beast.

Problem being that I doubt all the PA owners would be willing to pay twice the price to bring half the number of kayaks.

I guarantee you wont find a better boat that the Islander. And as far as going bigger, that wont help all that much as most sportfishers have about the same amount of room on the back deck. The Islander isnt a small boat.
The Islander does things right. Their rack holds kayaks well the problem is that in all honestly the PA is not a kayak, it is a plastic boat. Even if another Sportfisher did the Motherships it wouldnt be long before they said no PA's as well. These take up twice as much room as any other kayak meaning you cna only take half as many anglers. Not to mention they put a Huge strain on the crew. Not to mention when you do have PA's on the deck they have to get off the boat first as they are so big they block everybody else from being able to move around and launch.

People who are on trips that are currently too short on passengers will receive phone calls. As of right now we have only 2 trips being cancelled including the 5 day which may change to a shorter trip in attempt to fill that date.
The Memorial Day weekend trip is FULL with a Wait List. Remaining balances will be charged today for that trip.
