Let’s Go Fishing!
Gold Rush
Kevin and Ben are excited to be fishing out of Mutineer Charters! New to the charter office but not new to the industry, Kevin Vasereno has been a charter boat Captain out of Westport for 48 years. He will continue to skipper the Gold Rush 1- 2 days per week most weeks. All other days, Ben Overmars will take the helm, Ben has a passion for fishing and has been deckhanding or running boats since he was 14. In the winter months he guides for Salmon and Steelhead on Washington rivers.
The Gold Rush is a 43 foot Delta and will be doing all the fisheries and offering limited loads giving you ample space to enjoy your fishing experience. Book today to make memories to last a lifetime. Join the fun fishing aboard the Gold Rush!

Offering a variety of Pacific coast species; all gear provided.

Not offered but there’s always a chance to spot one.

All boats have inside seating. Dress warm & bring rain gear.

A one-day license can be purchased in the office prior to boarding.

Active duty and veterans, thank you for your service.

Free designated parking available, two blocks away.
But always sold out.
Finally got a chance to fish with them and they exceeded my expectations.
Awesome crew, boat and experience.
After the flounder we moved to another spot in deeper water to fish for ling cod. This spot was in deeper water so we couldn't anchor but the skipper did a great job of keeping us over the fish. We limited out with 2 nice size ling cods per person and a few extras for the crew.
The deckhand did a great job keeping us rigged up and baited. He also filleted all the fish for a good price.
The only downer was my mistake. I like to follow the track of the boat using my phone and a marine map. Apparently, this is a huge no no. They are concerned with people stealing their spots. I totally understood the skippers concern, so I turned off my phone and put it away. As angry as he got, I'd think he would put up a sign or something telling folks that gps tracking is verboten. Or maybe something in the terms and conditions.
I would definitely go bottom fishing on this boat again. The skipper has good knowledge and boat skills. If there are bottom fish to be had, he will put you on them.
I have fished with the Slammer before. This time I took two of my grandsons (16 and 11) out for their first trip. They caught a lot of fish, the deck hands were great with them. They had such a good time they want to go with me again.
I gave my grands two rules - don’t fall overboard and don’t puke on grandma. Good thing they followed the rules! No puking at all! Lol
Make sure you layer up as it is cold and can be windy in the AM and hot in the afternoon. The seas were rough in the morning so take medicine if you are prone to motion sickness!
Thanks guys for something to remember.
Capt. Rhett seriously knows his stuff (I’m pretty sure he’s a fish whisperer, cause we were always on fish), He & his Excellent Crew took care of our large group (some who knew what they were doing and many who did not) with ease.
We happened to hit some pretty rough water, as the winds unexpectedly came up, but still we almost all came home with our limit of fish.
Thank you, Mutineer Charters, for a wonderful day of exciting Fishing and a freezer full of Good Eats!! We’ll be back!
