San Diego Tuna Boats

Well it doesn’t get any better then this seiner The  Uncle Louie , absolutely a beautiful boat built for the Castagnola Family in 1978. I will never forget being a kid and driving down to my Dads boat with him and seeing the Uncle Louie tied up at the Embarcadero for the first time . I was at awe of her Beauty.

I love this picture of the Aquarius, I believe this is taken at 10th ave in San Diego Bay. I have so many memories of this seiner with a few family members fishing aboard including my Father. At the time of this photo The Aquarius was owned by the Dasilva family. Share your photos at [email protected]

Another photo that I collected years ago,The King Oscar in a set. I used  to love seeing this seiner along with the Portobello in  San Diego. Honestly I think it was the unique color that made these seiners so different and stand out. [email protected]
