Join the crew for a unique experience. Whether you are after big numbers or big fish, there is a trip for you. Everyone is welcome to join in the adventure.

The crew will guide you through the basics before you make your first cast and show you the ropes. The boat is a 35’ Cabo Express. She comes powered by two 420 HP engines and has plenty of fishing space for up to 6 anglers. The boat is rigged with a GPS, a fishfinder, and two VHF radios, radar, as well as outriggers, electric reels for dredges, and safety equipment with a life raft for a professional fishing experience.

Enjoy a morning out on the water or check the bite later in the afternoon. Stay for the whole day and explore those productive waters and all the fish species that reside up to 26 miles out. Test yourself in light tackle trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, popping, and deep sea fishing for whatever is biting. Your potential catch can include Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna, Black and Blue Marlin, Wahoo, Spanish Mackerel, Red Snapper, Sailfish, Roosterfish, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, and who knows what else?

All trips aboard are all-inclusive. You will only need to bring your desire to have fun. Half day adventures include chips, fruit, water, beer, soda, and juices, while full day trips come with a light lunch.

3/4 Day Trip

Great trip,would book again.

VERIFIED

Had a great time with the captain and crew. Went out in the Sea Cruz with Captain Alex. Crew handled absolutely everything and we weee catching almost as soon as we were offshore. Boat was stock with all sorts of water, soda and beer. Snacks, fruit and lunch were all provided. We also saw more dolphins than I could imagine which I was not expecting. Crew was very attentive. Went with my family and two teenagers. Everyone had a great time. I would book with them again without hesitation.

Half Day Trip (AM)

Great boat, great crew, well worth it

VERIFIED

We booked a 4 hour morning tour that took place last weekend (March 2025). Whole process was well organized and prompt. Met at the beach and took a smaller vessel out to the 35' boat. Boat was very clean, crew was ready to go (all lines, pulleys, bait, etc). Sailed out to sea for about 20-30 min and dropped our lines. Caught 3 huge fish within 2 hours. Saw dolphins and other sea life. Calm seas, beautiful weather, beautiful catches. This was a real good trip for us. Recognize not all trips are as lucky, but highly recommend this crew if you're considering booking a fishing trip.

Fun half day trip

VERIFIED

Weather forecast called for 15/20 knot winds and I think the captain wanted us to stay near the reef. My son and I really wanted to catch game fish so we asked if we could go further out. He listened to what we wanted and we ended up catching a 80lb wahoo and a sailfish. It was a lot of fun but the captain was right it was blowing and the waves were huge.

Cool & Knowledgable Captain/Crew Put Us On The Fish

Out of our six-pack, I was the only real angler on the boat and watching the crew take care of my buddies was cool. They knew how to work with them, even though my buddies are a bunch of block-heads :-) We got on the sailfish and look forward to going back and getting on the tuna and dorado too. Pura Vida!
