Captain Pat Cavanaugh has been involved in the Sportfishing industry since 1984. Starting at the age of 12, Pat spent more then 9 year working on boats in Ventura county. First as pinhead on the Monte Carlo, then deckhand. He earned his captain's license at the age of 19. Pat also spent time fishing out of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, working as a captain on a six-pack charter boat. From 1994 to 2003, Pat worked on the Long-Range sportfisher Excel, and for six and and-a-half seasons, served as captain under owner Bill Poole. In that time, Pat built a strong reputation for constantly making great catches, and developed a loyal following of customers by running an outstanding operation. Since 2003 the Pacific Dawn has been established as one of the top charter boats servicing both the Channel Islands and the San Diego Coast and Offshore.
