Wombat Charters

The temperature cooled in the last few days so fishing was tough. Bob did all he could to put us on fish but the fish were not on the feed. Past the time we should have gone back, Bob took us into a shallow back bay as the sun dipped down and told me to cast into a side channel. Bam! I caught a healthy sized striper. He had hooked one for my girlfriend earlier. With Bob, it's not just the fishing. He gives tours and he weaves that into the guided trip. His great sense of humor and genuine desire to put his clients on fish really sets him apart from a lot of guides I've had. He took a lot of time to teach my girlfriend how to cast and she truly surprised me on how far she was casting- farther than me at times!

My sister surprised me with a birthday sunset cruise with Bob at Wombat Charters! I had no idea what to expect since it was a surprise but she knows how much I love nature and outdoor adventures and this one tops it! On a private tour on Bobs boat, we ventured out from Napa all the way out to Wingo (ghost town). We saw wildlife, plants, flocks of birds, old duck clubs from the 1920's, sunsets, pink skies, stars. It was beautiful and serene. We were the only ones out there in San Pablo bay and it was so peaceful. If you enjoy nature, this tour gives you a different perspective from the comfort of a boat. The sunset boat tour is one not to miss. I will be back again to do another tour!PS: Dress warm and in layers (depends on time of year). Bring your cameras, binoculars and recording devices because you would want to capture nature's moments.

Bob was a great host really patient with my son who was initially terrified to be on the boat . Fast forward about 45minutes my son was happy to be there and my family had a great time seeing the sites along the river and viewing landmarks of the bay . Now my son is asking can we get on the boat tomorrow with Bob. Next time we're in town we're riding with Wombat Charters

Captain Bob is so great!!We live close and fish all the time on our boat but wanted to go check out the Napa river. Wombat Charters did not disappoint. It was like a fishing guide and tour guide all in one. I learned a few new casting techniques as well as how to read the fish finder. Captain Bob knew so much about the Napa river it was great to hear the history of some of the boats that were wrecked there. We also learned a few new boating law too! If your looking to go out fishing or even bird watching I highly recommend Wombat charters.

I took my grandson out with Captain Bob for his Birthday. We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience!

For my birthday and my son's birthday, they are the same day, this year my wife bought us fishing trip with Captain Bob. This was the most amazing adventure we had all year! Captain Bob is an amazing man full of knowledge about the river and the history of Napa. He taught my son and myself how to fish for sturgeon and we enjoyed the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my life over Mount Tamalpais from the Napa River. Thank you Captain Bob! My son and I had the best time ever! I highly recommend this to anyone and I will be a regular customer now! Great prices for a fantastic day out on the water!

5 stars for Bob! My boyfriend and I had a phenomenal sport fishing experience. Bob taught us how to cast a lure and gave us tips that even pros wouldn't know. He stayed over time and made sure we caught a fish. Sure enough, we went home sore and thrilled with a 10lb stripe bass!! Highly recommend Wombat if you're looking to learn and have an engaging experience!

If all you read is one sentence from my review then let it be this one: you will NOT regret a journey with Capt. Bob of Wombat Charters! My party of 4 participated in the Napa River (or, as you'll learn its more wetlands) sunset cruise on a clear Saturday night. Capt. Bob communicated very well to us beforehand to bring layers to stay warm, and also encouraged us to bring drinks and snacks if we so fancied. Capt. Bob is very knowledgeable about the area and always keeping the customer in mind - thinking of different photo ops and also providing playful props :) While the trip is marketed as 90 minutes, plan for closer to 120-160 minutes to enjoy the full spectrum of the sunset. This is definitely an experience for tourists and locals - you'll experience Napa in a way that you never would think to otherwise which is why this is a must do!

We took the wetlands tour and it was great! Captain Bob is so informative and knows the ins and outs of the wetlands like the back of his hand. We enjoyed views of owls, red-tailed hawks, and other wildlife in a picturesque and tranquil setting. We were definitely in good hands and had a fantastic day out on the water! Strongly recommend the Wombat!

Captain Bob is just amazing. We had one of our best life experiences with him in his speed boat. He was so patient with my 5year old boy. He never rushed into the boat trip and explained to us each and every geographical detail. The entire family is his fan and we look forward to getting on his boat again
