Full Day Trip - Bare Boat on December 27, 2024

Captain and crew were great, caught a Marlin and a Yellow Fin tuna. Stayed out an hour later than the 8 hours trying to get another Marlin we saw on the way back and fighting with another boat to position us. Great experience overall. Negative note, the guy from Gray’s taxidermy waiting when we returned pressuring a one time deal now. Suggesting that you measure Marlin from the tip of sword to the end of the tail so they know how big to build the crate for shipping. The rates for taxidermy are based on length and you measure Marlin from the bottom of the mouth to the fork of the tail. Probably added 20” to this fish and shipping and packaging is extra. The guy followed me all the way to the restaurant trying to sell me on this.

Full Day Trip - Bare Boat on May 4, 2025

We didn't catch lots of fish but we caught what we were trying to catch. We boated two Marlin and released one. One was injured in the fight and was dying. We got one decent Yellow fin and about 8 or so Bonita. Very rough and windy. I think we did well under the circumstances.

Full Day Trip with Captain Poncho and Mate Tu-Pac on the Merengue 40'.

Full Day Trip - Bare Boat on October 27, 2021

This was a Full Day Trip with Captain Poncho and Mate Tu-Pac on the Merengue 40'. The captain and Mate were very friendly, knowledgeable and very experienced. They speak good English and worked hard to get us fish. It was a long day with a few bites but no fish boated until 2:15 PM, the captain and mate were so happy and relieved as you know no one wants to be skunked. We caught a big bull Mahi-Mahi, we took the fillets to The Funky Olive which I highly recommend. They cooked it 5 ways plus sushi and sashimi to begin, all with one half of the fish, best fish meal ever! Highly recommend The Funky Olive!
