San Diego / California / United States
M/V Islander is a 85 San Diego based long-range charter boat servicing Baja California and its pristine islands. Each voyage is led by Captains/Owners Shane Slaughter and John Conniff. In the last decade we have safely and successfully led over 10, 000 people on voyages into Mexican waters and beyond. You will not find another charter operation in Southern California with the same breadth of experience in oceanic adventures. Our love for both fishing and diving gives us a unique perspective of the oceans complextiites from not only above the water but from beneath it as well. Our carefully crafted schedule, including Great White Shark Dive trips to Guadalupe Island, Sportfishing, Freediving, Scuba Diving, Kayak Mothership trips or any number of Eco Adventures are all designed with seasons and conditions in mind. We offer cutting edge adventure at its peak with a year-round schedule focused on the finest the Pacific has to offer. Great White Shark Diving at Isla Guadalupe the title almost speaks for itself. Islander Charters is one of the few vessels currently operating at Guadalupe Island that not only books itself, but that owns its own dive equipment, cages and compressors. We are dedicated to this fascinating portion of our schedule and that dedication readily shows in our custom built equipment, local knowledge and expert crew. Islander Charters is also the only Isla Guadalupe Shark Dive vessel with a full-time research/observation program in place dedicated to the preservation of the Great White Shark. Islander Charters sets the standard when it comes to Kayak Mothership trips. We were the first in Southern California to offer this voyage and we continue to set the pace five years later. From San Clemente Island to the Baja peninsula and even to the Cortez Bank weve seen it all. With a custom designed swim step, kayak rack and chase skiff we remain at the forefront when it comes to putting kayak fishermen in remote locations and offering them the potential for the catch of a lifetime.
