3/4 Day Trip on April 9, 2025
Fished with Capt Mario on the Salsa. Knowledgeable experienced Captain that got us on fish. Truly a great day and will fish with him next time I am there. I fished on the 26 or 27 foot Salsa. If you want more comfort, recommend you check out the larger boats in the coyote fleet. But if you are used to fishing smaller boats and want to experience fishing up close and personal, the Salsa is for you.

Half Day Trip (AM) on July 31, 2024
I swear every 20 minutes we had tuna hitting the rods. It was a fantastic day on the water and I would go out with them again. Was a better deal than spending 2k for a 35 yacht to catch the same fish.
