History

The Lovely Martha is the third "Martha" to take fishermen and sightseers out through the Golden Gate from San Francisco. Her history spans many decades as an icon in the world-famous fishing fleet at home in Fisherman's Wharf.

Three generations of the Rescino family have escorted groups out in search of game fish. The family has helped young and old catch hundreds of thousands of salmon and other species.

Some of our loyal customers fished on the Lovely Martha as children, and now they are treating their grandchildren to special fishing trips on the Lovely Martha as the tradition continues.

The Rescino family was born fish and teach others how to reel in the big one! Captain Frank Rescino is the 3rd generation captain and Mike Rescino is the 4th generation captain. A family tradition!
