In late 2023, Melynda Dodds took over the New Captain Pete operating as Lighthouse Charters LLC. The boat remains in Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay - the ideal location for fishing on the beautiful San Mateo County coast!

We congratulate Dennis on his retirement, his more than 35 years of experience has helped to make the New Captain Pete the premier charter on the Northern California coast.

Our new captain, Mike Cabanas is the former captain of the HuliCat and has over 9 years of experience running charter fishing boats. All trips aboard the New Captain Pete include an experienced and courteous deckhand to assist with your tackle, provide fishing tips, and clean your fish.

The New Captain Pete is 53 feet long, capable of cruising at 15 knots, and can carry up to 38 anglers. On-board instruments include a Furuno fish finder, a Furuno 36-mile radar, and an Echotec GPS. In 2021 the New Captain Pete had a significant overhaul with 2 brand new Eco-Friendly John Deer engines installed. The onboard amenities include a heated cabin and separate heads for men and women.

The New Captain Pete is also available for nature trips, parties, and cruises. For more information, please email us at info@newcaptainpete.com, or call us at (650) 726-6224.
