Helgren Oceanside Sportfishing is a family owned operation. Opened in 1978 by Dick Helgren, the business has stayed in the family despite a tragic car accident that took the life of it’s founder.
The business is now run by Mr. Helgren’s son Joey (who is also a captain). Joey has been involved in the business from a young age, and keeps his father’s vision alive. Respect must also be paid to Dick Helgren’s wife Caroline, who is also still involved with the business.
