San Diego, CA – The 43rd Annual Port of San Diego Day at the Docks™ will take place on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at the scenic waterfront sportfishing landings in Point Loma, offering a day of celebration for anglers, their families, and all who love sportfishing.
The event, which is FREE to the public, has become the largest single-day sportfishing festival on the West Coast. Day at the Docks™ is a time-honored tradition, attracting thousands of attendees who flock to America’s Cup Harbor to tour the world-renowned San Diego Sportfishing Fleet, engage with exhibitors, and take part in hands-on activities, entertainment, and fishing seminars. The event is designed to appeal to anglers of all skill levels, from novice fishers to seasoned pros.
“The Port of San Diego Day at the Docks™ marks the official start of the San Diego sportfishing season,” says Frank Ursitti, President of the San Diego Sportfishing Council. “We’re excited to welcome thousands to this community event and showcase the unparalleled capabilities of the San Diego fleet. Our fleet is known for its advanced technology, top-tier captains, and skilled crews. Day at the Docks highlights the very best of what San Diego has to offer. In addition, we’re proud to celebrate H&M Landing’s 90th Anniversary of Sportfishing Service from San Diego, a milestone that speaks to the legacy and ongoing excellence of our sportfishing community.”
The San Diego Sportfishing Fleet is the largest in the world, with boats capable of embarking on both short-range and long-range adventures in the prolific waters of Southern California and Baja California, Mexico.
