About Us

The charter boat Happy Hooker is perhaps the most iconic name in the San Francisco Bay area sportfishing fleet. The Happy Hooker and legendary skipper Jim Smith have serviced local anglers for over 35 years. His knowledge of the San Francisco Bay, Sacramento, Delta, ocean Striped Bass migration, patterns has given him the reputation of one of the top producers in the sportfishing industry.

Captain Jim Smith has now retired and passed the wheel his son, veteran captain Chris Smith and grandson Jonathon Smith keeping with the legacy and family reputation. Chris and sons Jonathon and Joey are a team surpassed by none. When it comes to knowledge, ability, service & hospitality you’ll never come home disappointed or empty handed.

Make the Happy Hooker your first choice.
