Quetzal Adventures

Captain Stan is a great fishing guide. I have fished on his boat with him as well as in the vicinity of him. He is a class act and is a prime example of how to treat his guests on the boat as well as others on the water. When I choose not to run my boat out for a day and he has a spot on his boat, I like to jump on with him and spend a day learning some of his fishing tricks of the trade. I highly suggest him for a fishing trip.

My brother and I chose Quetzal Adventures because of price point, availability, location, and good reviews. Booking was easy, and Stan got back to us within hours with clear instructions on how to get to the dock, even though we were booking last minute. You can tell he loves fishing, and it is contagious. He's lived and worked many other lives but does charter fishing because he loves sharing his joy of fishing with others. We had a tough start and had only a few small fish as we approached the end of our time but thankfully he stuck with it, poured us some drinks, turned up the music. Soon after, our luck changed. He found a school of fish and we ended up bringing in 3 large (and delicious) striped bass as well as plenty of throwbacks that were just as fun. My brother had a blast and is already talking about our next trip out on the water. Would strongly recommend.

Captain Stan is the best! Very knowledgeable of the area, Perfect size boat with great electronics, great fishing equipment and a great guy to be on the water with. My son and I can't wait to go out again with Captain Stan!!

Captain Stan is the man ! Cool guy and know's when and where to find fish. Everything you need is on the boat and provided by Stan. Would definitely do it again.

Put Captain Stan's Quetzal Adventures on your bucket list. Even if you're not a fisher just being out on the delta in a small boat is a beautiful, relaxing experience. There was an abundance of birds on the day the day we went out and Captain Stan was familiar with their habits and habitat. He's even more knowledgable about fishing. He knows exactly where to go and how to rig up his tackle to give you the best chance of landing a fish.If you can tear your attention away from the scenery all you're required to do is reel them in. Captain Stan handles everything else. His boat is clean and well stocked and his equipment is top notch. Just watching him bait a hook is enough to convince you you're in the hands of an expert. But if that's not enough, watching him fillet your catch will make you a believer.

Had a great time. Captain Stan was fantastic...I will recommend him to family and friends. Caught a 28 inch stripper....

I've been with Captain Stan twice, no complaint. He's a friendly guy with YEARS of experience on the delta. His sense is much better than a fishfinder. Wherever he takes you, he's able to spot something big down there. Also, you'll feel he's more of a friend than a guide. The boat sits comfortably for a party of three which is my case. Bring your snacks and enjoy the nature, that's probably worth your money already. Stan has free beverages for you in case you're concerned about carrying those heavy water bottles aboard. Overall, I'd say he's the top choice if you're looking to fish on delta. And don't forget to bring your fishing license or sturgeon stamps, friendly he may be, though he doesn't break laws. I look forward to going out with him again.

Captain Stain was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable of the Delta and knew all the hotspots (and more important where the marinas were with bathrooms). His small boat was perfect for our party of 4. We caught 25 fish and kept 3 really nice striped bass. I have to say that guided fishing is quite expensive comparably to a day at Disneyland on steroids, but we had a blast.

My friend Mike S. and I went fishing with Captain Stan on Friday the 13th, 2018, and had the best day fishing on the delta.........ever. Captain Stan kept us catching fish, laughing and having a wonderful morning and afternoon. He was tireless in finding fish, changing baits/lures and locations.Captain Stan is extremely knowledgeable about the tides, the delta and the apps that can make fishing much more productive. We caught two big Stripers in the 16 to 17 pound range.I felt like I spend the day fishing with two friends, not just my friend Mike. I will certainly go fishing with him again but next time bring my granddaughters and Mike!!

Had a great day on the delta fishing with Stan. Full of great fishing spots, stories and jokes. He knows his stuff. Thanks again.
