Thresher Boats

The New Thresher 2023 Boats Are In! – Each boat is meticulously handcrafted and custom rigged.

Thresher Boats come well equipped with a long list of important features for a great fishing experience.

Thresher Boats is located in Oceanside, CA and is a locally owned and operated family business established in 2014 by Brandon and Richard Wesselink after years of research and development.

Your Fishing Weather

There is no better place to enjoy a day on the ocean. Regardless of the time of the year, San Diego usually has perfect fishing weather, and our boats are built for the open water. When conditions are not ideal, the National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, water, and climate forecasts and warnings. 

Our Local Fish

San Diego offers a diverse and bountiful selection of fish. Depending on the season, look for popular sport fish like bluefin yellowfin, yellowtail, dorado (mahi mahi), and marlin. Tell us what you want to catch and we’ll get you to the right place with the right gear and bait. 

Your Fishing Guide

Tuned Up Marine Group works with only the best captains in the area, so your day of guided fishing will be led by someone who is not only safe and experienced, but also a local with knowledge of the best fishing grounds. Relax and enjoy catching the fish, and not worry about finding them. 

Around Town

Located only minutes from downtown San Diego, Lindbergh Field, San Diego’s International Airport, and just walking distance from the finest San Diego shopping and repair facilities! Kona Kai has been a proud member of the “California Clean Marinas Program” since 2005, leading San Diego marinas in ecological and environmental practices. Here at Tuned Up Marine we encourage everyone to do their part to protect the environment.

Our Fishing Photos

California could easily be considered the jewel of the United States. With over 800 miles of gorgeous Pacific coastline and beaches, more national parks than any other state, and year-round mild weather, there’s no limit to what you could do here. It’s hardly a surprise then, that fishing in California is a dream come true for anglers from all over the country, and beyond.

You might come here for a magical day in Disneyland or an iconic cablecar ride around the steep streets of San Francisco, but believe us when we say you’ll stay for the one-of-a-kind fishing action.
