3/4 Day Trip

Highly Recommend

VERIFIED

Well seasoned fishingbooker here to leave a review for the Approved and crew. 3/4 day charter. The captain handled all of the transportation to the dock at a discounted rate and free return back! This is a service that we are not accustomed to and think it’s really made a nice difference. Outstanding communication before our charter date. We were greeted at the dock on time and everything was prepared to go! They provided refreshments including premium beer and nice sandwich fixings. Later sushi was made with fresh caught tuna. The overall service: 5 stars in consideration of the comments above. The boat: 5 stars. The boat is exceptionally clean and modern. Spacious with very well appointed interior, air conditioning and a ladies approved head. Fishing equipment was better than most and well prepared for immediate use with no fuss. The Crew: 5+ stars given here. Courteous, Fun, highly knowledgeable about the fishing opportunities in the area. Truly enthusiast about big game fishing. These folks will work very hard to earn your business. We will return to The Approved!

3/4 Day Trip

Great day!

VERIFIED

These guys were recommended as best by our dive shop. And they were right. Quito was a great guide. He knows the ocean here and how to fish it very well. Also great to talk to and fun to be around. We caught a 55 lb. Wahoo, 2 barracuda and a tuna. Caught the Wahoo on a weighted hand line— a first. Great guiding, service, lunch, drinks, everything.

Good Fishing Trip

This was a beautiful boat, very comfortable. The main fisherman was Quito along with Captain Jorge. The sea was quite rough the day we went out which clobbered a few on our party. Luckily the cabin was air conditioned! We caught two barracuda and lost a few others. Overall a good trip with an excellent outfit!
