Boats & Crew

Parker

Captained by Rich Pusateri, OUP-V Certified Captain.

Our 29' overall Parker is the newest addition to the CCFC fleet and one of the most dialed-in 2320s on the West Coast. Built like a true fishing machine, she boasts 80 square feet of deck space (newly refurbished), upgraded 150-gallon fuel tank, custom stainless rails, multiple bait tanks, hydraulic anchor winch, 32 rod holders, and much more...all thoughtfully outfitted by a local commercial fisherman.

Powered by a new Yamaha 300hp and 9.9hp Tohatsu kicker, the Parker offers unmatched seaworthiness paired with slow-trolling capability. Garmin electronics, radar, and a B175HW thru-hull transducer provide reliable navigation and pinpoint fish-finding accuracy, while the pilothouse delivers a dry ride out of the elements. Most importantly, the Parker has the kind of fishy mojo you feel the moment you step aboard — she's a proven workhorse. Fully equipped with a USCG-inspected safety package, she's ready for safe, professional trips from Estero Bay to Big Sur.

About Rich

Born in Austin, TX, Rich was drawing fish before he could talk, and as soon as he was old enough to hold a rod he was hooked. When he moved to San Luis Obispo to attend Cal Poly in 2016, he instantly fell in love with the sportfishing the Pacific has to offer. Rich owns his own commercial skiff that he has been fishing off of for the last 10 years and carries 20 years of saltwater fishing experience under his belt. Rich has a passion for the ocean that few can rival—he's an avid surfer, kayaker, boater, conservationist, and fisherman. His favorite species to target are king salmon and bluefin tuna.

About John

Born in the Santa Cruz Mountains and raised in Templeton, California from kindergarten through high school. I've spent my whole life chasing the outdoors that make the Central Coast so special.

My love for the ocean started early. At just 9 years old I was out on the water with my dad beach launching from Leffingwell Cove in Cambria. By 18 I'd saved up enough to buy my first ocean boat, and I've never looked back.

These days you'll still find me doing what I love, chasing that morning bite and getting clients on the fish.
