Captain, Owner
As a young boy Christian lived to fish. Every chance he had, he was down at the docks working his way onto one of the charter boats. In 2005 he left the Bay Area to attend the University of Maine.
After college he was lucky enough to spend four seasons playing professional basketball in Europe. Throughout it all, he never lost his love for fishing and is thrilled to be back on the waters he's always called home.
Christian has been a deck hand on the Outer Limits and several other Sausalito party boats for over 15 years. Being 6'8" with a 7 foot wing span, he's earned the nickname "stretch" for his ability to net fish, long distances from the boat. In 2013 he passed his 100 ton masters exam and became a licensed captain. His passion and dedication show in his work as well as his catch success rate!
Captain
Captain Ryan has been fishing since he could walk. During his college career at CSU Sacramento, where he finished his bachelor of science in recreation & leisure studies, he was introduced to chasing fall run salmon on the local Sacramento and American Rivers.
It wasn’t long before he chased these hard fighting salmon to the source and made his way to the Pacific ocean where he found his passion and love of fishing on the big blue. Working with customers on a one on one basis, and his proficiency of catching fish has landed him a top spot with renowned Charter Boat Operation, Big C.
Captain Ryan has found his home on the Chasin Crustacean where he has transformed his experience, knowledge and passion into being a driven and results oriented Captain.
Deck Hand
As a young boy he loved to go fishing with his dad and family. When he got older he started working on the charter boats in the East Bay. He came to work for the Outer Limits in 2017. He has a great love of fishing and fishes on his days off.
He's a perfect fit for the Outer Limits because he is great with making people have a memorable experience. He stands out when working with young children.
Deck Hand
At a young age Gabe devolved a love for the water, and quickly graduated from fishing ponds to the ocean with his dad.

Gabe is dedicated to doing everything in his power to get the fish onboard and is a great fit for Big C Charters.
