Running a USCG-inspected long-range sportfishing vessel out of the Sunset Cliffs-side Point Loma Sportfishing Landing at 1403 Scott Street, Vagabond runs multi-day trips to Guadalupe Island, The Rocks, and The Ridge alongside Baja long-range grounds. Scheduling, bait collection, and bunk assignments flow through the landing-dispatch desk at Point Loma Sportfishing, which handles the operational throughput for the landing's long-range fleet including the Vagabond, Independence, Shogun, and Royal Polaris. Trip lengths span 3-to-6 days, 7-to-10 days, and 11-to-23 days, with the longer runs reaching Guadalupe Island in Mexican waters for yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and trophy yellowtail. The same captain has run the Vagabond since at least 2007 per the landing's archived fish reports, building long-term relationships with repeat-charter groups such as the San Diego Anglers Club. Out-of-town anglers flying in for 10-plus-day trips frequently book pre-departure lodging at Shelter Island waterfront properties such as The Bay Club Hotel & Marina to stage gear and tackle before the dawn dock call. Ultra-limited 16-angler private-party charters on the 10-day schedule, which book up years in advance, represent the most prized and logistically involved trip package the operation coordinates.
