Half Day Trip (AM) on August 4, 20265 adults

Pre-trip communication ia a 10 out of 10. We were picked up on time, actually early. the entire crew is top notch. Fantastic peoole who know what they are doing. we were baited and lines in water with minutes of leaving the harbor. The crew was so knowledgeable. they put us on fish right away….3 barracudas and then asked if we should try for yhe big fish. we landed a 400lb Blue Marlin. an hour and 45 later, dream come true. Oh, and on last line in water produced a second Marlin. We decided to book a second trip. LFG…..best in the business. FYI….we all have the company fishing shirts now as well. if you want to get treated crazy good and get out on the fish….this is your team!!!! Thank you for a great day and seriously making dreams a reality….catchijg a real kife trophy fish.

We had the best time. Amazing day!
Half Day Trip (PM) on February 8, 20262 adults2 children

Hector picked us up from the cruise port to start our day. Jose and GG were our boat crew. They were very nice and you could tell that they loved what they do. We caught 2 barracuda in the first 15 mins! Then 1 more and 3 mahi mahi. It was amazing! Jose cooked one of the mahi on the back of the boat. There was a cooler full of drinks and snacks, fresh pineapple cut up for us. I cant say enough great things about this trip. It exceeded our expectations. We gave them a big tip, they deserved it and more. Will post pictures soon!!

Amazing experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on January 13, 20261 adult

The trip was fabulous from the beginning. I was arriving on a cruise ship and they were willing to work with me on the time the trip began. I met Hector who drove me to the other port where the boat was waiting for me. Hector was very personable and I enjoyed our conversations to and from the fishing boat. The crew on the boat were fabulous. Almost caught my dream fish (a marlin) but it broke the line and got away. I ended up catching 2 Mahi Mahi and 1 Barracuda. One of the Mahi Mahi became our lunch. I have been on several chartered fishing trips and I must say this was the best one!!!

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda

excellent experience
3/4 Day Trip on March 31, 20262 adults

the crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and really attentive to our needs. they picked us up at our hotel (extra charge) which made things so much easier for us. the water was rough, but that didn't prevent us from having a good time and catching fish. as a matter of fact we were the only boat of the morning to catch anything - barracudas and dorado.

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Great Barracuda
