SF Crabbing Crew

It was so much fun spending the morning with SF crabbing crew and 8 of my closest friends! They took care of all the details and all we had to do was show up ready for an amazing time!

This was a great Saturday afternoon. You get more than your money’s worth in crabs, beer, and snacks. I won’t over forget the fun we had.

Incredible way to spend my final weekend in San Francisco with my family! I brought 12 people with me to have fun with Vic, Ben, and Evan. The crabs were delicious, the people were great, and the crabbing was so much fun! I highly recommend going for anyone willing to spend a day in one of the most beautiful spots in SF!

I scheduled my birthday with them and had an absolute blast. All of my friends really enjoyed it, and I could not give these guys a better recommendation. Two thumbs up. Would recommend to friend.

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this, but upon arrival, we were warmly greeted not just be the crew, but a wonderful spread of snacks, bloody mary cocktails, beers only to be followed by plenty of crabs and laughs (these guys are fun!) Originally, I thought my kids (ages 4 and 6) would be too young to enjoy this, but I was totally wrong. The crew helped my boys reel in the cages, taught them how to hold the crabs without getting pinched (made for some great photos) etc. BIG THUMBS UP!

It’s an awesome way to spend part of your weekend! Hanging on the water with the most incredible views in SF, learning about crabbing and meeting some great people. It’s really well run — plenty of snacks and drinks, corn hole, and they grill up your hard-​earned catch in a delicious sauce in the end. Vic is also absolutely hilarious and will keep you laughing the whole time. It’s a must do!

I went on a Saturday afternoon when the weather was perfect and it was such a great time. I got to pull up the nets to catch the crab and also got to throw the nets back in which was super fun. The whole team at SF Crabbing Crew is welcoming and provided snacks and drinks for us to all enjoy. Oh yeah and we got to eat the crab right then and there. My favorite part was dipping the french bread into the broth they made which is so delicious.
I highly recommend going crabbing with SF Crabbing Crew. It’s great for families and when you have friends visiting the city. I already have another trip planned for when my friends are visiting because it’s such a unique experience and I want to share it with them.
If you enjoying being outdoors, having fun, laughing and meeting new people. Then you should go crabbing with these guys!

We came all the way from Indiana and these guys made us feel right at home! We enjoyed a wonderful experience and made memories and friends that will last a lifetime! Definitely something everyone should do if you are in the San Francisco area. AMAZING!

Vic, Ben, and Evan were awesome. The food was amazing, crab fresh and broth was out of this world. They got everyone involved with the process and every person I went with had fun.
If you’re visiting SF and want to try something different, crabbig with the SF Crabbing Crew is the way to go!

Best San Francisco experience I’ve had. Awesome group of people, amazing views of San Francisco, and delicious crab!

So going into this I had no idea what to expect… I mean crabbing? don’t you just throw a cage in the water and call it a day? I WAS SO WRONG! I had such an amazing time.
First of all the view is amazing. You have the golden gate on one side and then the entire city of san francisco on the other! That view alone was worth the trip.
On top of the amazing view the SF crabbing crew made my crabbing experience amazing! They provided a ton of snacks as well as adult beverages (mmm bloody mary’s!), and they even had a crab cupcake for another guy in our group since it was his birthday! I thought that was so thoughtful of them! Then they put on a timer, so every 12 minutes you check your pods to see if you caught any crabs and then you get to throw the the pods back in! It was so well managed and so much fun! And just incase you don’t have enough to do the crew provided games for us to play! They had some awesome corn hole boards and we had a little tournament going in-​between catching crabs.
After we caught a good amount of crabs and the session was coming to an end the crew cooked the crabs we caught! Now, I am not a huge crab/​sea food fan, but I gotta say this crab was so fresh it was delicious! And they provide everything you need for a crab feast! **Make sure to dip some bread in the sauce the crabs are cooked in… IT WAS AMAZING!
Another really cool point I want to make is that the crew was so good about taking pictures of the entire experience! This might sound trivial, but in my personal experience whenever I go on adventure outings, half the time you are asking people to take your picture or trying to figure out how to take it yourself, that you don’t fully enjoy the experience… well not with SF Crabbing Crew! They took pictures throughout the entire experience and emailed them to us, along with GoPro footage of our pods under water!
Sorry this was so long but I was just so surprised at how much fun I had! I highly recommend this to anyone. The fact is the SF Crabbing Crew (Ben, Evan, Vic and Alexa) were so organized, fun, friendly and helpful that they made it an awesome experience, I cannot wait to go back!

We came, we saw, we all caught crabs! I know I’ll be one of many who drops a crab joke in his review, so I might as well get it out of the way up front. All joking aside, the SF Crabbing Crew is a truly unique experience that you can add to your list of things to try in this great city.
I came as part of a company offsite. Until we actually arrived on the dock, the outing was a surprise. Even when we were standing at the couple tables and gear they set up I had no idea what was in store. As someone whose never had much of an interest in fishing, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Fortunately our gracious hosts walked us through the ropes of casting nets off the dock and before you knew it, we were all seasoned crabbers. It was quite a thrill pulling in our nets and seeing our haul. I was a little uneasy about all the baby crabs but soon found out they toss them back if they aren’t of a certain size. There were also only certain types of crabs (mainly the rock crab) that we could catch.
While waiting for the critters to bite, we had plenty to entertain us on the windy dock. Our hosts provided snacks galore and a sampling of adult beverages. They also had a corn hole game setup, but it was frankly too windy to really compete. Oh well. You can’t control mother nature.
An added surprise was that we actually got to eat our catch right then and there. They had a barbecue set up and, after boiling a combination of butter and spices, cooked up fresh crab for us to consume. I’ve had «fresh» crab before, but I doubt I’ll ever have crab this fresh at any restaurant. And they clearly know how to cook one up — each succulent bite was perfectly seasoned.
I’ll echo my group’s consensus that this is an outing that’s well worth your time. Between the crabs, the friendly folks and the beautiful view of the Golden Gate, it’s everything an amautuer crabber could have asked for!

There’s no better way to team build than by getting crabs with everyone you work with.
Truly, the best way to bond, not to mention how excited we all are to be able to add being seasoned sea-​men and women to our resumes.
I love ish like this. Even on a windy as hell day, this was one rad experience and so much more fun than some run of the mill cooking class. Here, the SF Crabbing Crew (Vic, Ben, and Alexa) teach you how to crab like a gangster, you learn about the different types of crabs in the Bay, which you can keep, which you can’t, how big they need to be, and how to basically grill/​boil some pretty damn delicious crustaceans. Old Bay Spice and butter for life.
Def bring extra extra layers because it gets hella windy on that pier, as my team quickly learned. Luckily, I drive a gypsy mobile and always have at least 5 extra jackets, 2 big fleece blankets, and 4 beanies stowed away in my car at all times.
The SF Crabbing Crew ensure there’s enough crabs to go around (there’s plenty and you’ll catch a bunch, too) and provide a big table, coolers, seats, bag toss, and pretty much everything you need to have a great time. We brought some plastic cups and wine (I don’t know how regulation that is but it seemed fine with everyone) and next time I do this (def doing this again) I’ll be sure to bring some sort of hot beverage like cocoa or something, just in case.
Getting to reel in and toss out the crab cages and nets was awesome and our team’s crab dance was a thing of beauty and awe… though it didn’t bring my cage any crabs. Luckily, the rest of our team had much better luck.
It’s not super labor intensive and I’m sure if you just wanted to chill and have the crab crew do all the work they totally would. My favorite part was that we didn’t have to kill, clean or cook anything ourselves (I hate cooking in pretty much any capacity) and could just chill, drink, joke, and enjoy ourselves until it was time to stuff ourselves.
Oh– and one super important thing to remember is to not step on or become entangled in any of the ropes, especially when throwing the nets and cages out unless you want to take a very scary and cold swim in the Bay.
We had 10 total people for this super fun excursion, which I believe is the max group limit, and it was perfect. There was PLENTY of crab and they had large loaves of French bread to dip in the crab boil and Bay Spice butter water and it was basically the best thing I’ve ever eaten. I regret not saucing up the whole loaf for myself. The cost, I believe, is $ 50 a person, and they bring all the gear, you get a full meal, and drinks. Cheaper than going out for drinks in SF and you get a super memorable experience and delicious meal, to boot.
Besides the crabs, the cab juice bread, and the company… one of the best parts are the views. Golden Gate Bridge, the big blue Bay, the city skyline… all yours for the (photo) taking. And speaking of photo-​taking, the SF Crabbing Crew have a GoPro they set up inside the crab traps so you can see all the secret sea stuff that goes on below the surface. Super mega cool experience.
Can’t wait to do it again and can’t recommend this experience enough.
