Every angle was covered; top of the line equipment; incredible crew (hats off to Omar and Nick)…these guys were second to none. Kerim was relentless in getting us on the fish. The bite wasn’t great and the Blue fin were being shy in the early morning window….. despite a less than stellar bite, The crew made sure Every one landed a fish and we even had Bonita sashimi on the boat. If you want to know who to pick, and are in that mode where you don’t know which charter to pick……. Read this and stop looking! The conversation was awesome, we wanted for nothing and are committed to returning back with Western Star! You will not be disappointed!
We’re so happy to hear your group had a great time! Can’t wait to get y’all back out there!
Amazing trip with 2 Dads and 3 boys that are about 14. We caught our limit on yellowtail and had a couple Bonita mixed in. Kerim found the fish and it was a couple of catching fish one after another. The deckhands were very patient teaching the kids along the way. The boat is perfect with 2 different sleeping rooms. Food was great they cooked for us as well. Will book with them again for sure!
Our trip with the Western Star was an unforgettable afternoon out with the family. Captain Karem and his first mate Kyle were very welcoming and made you feel eight at home. The ship is more than accommodating with ample space to lay down, sit and bs, or have a beer in the back while you enjoy the view. As first time fishers, the crew went above and beyond making sure that not only everything was easy but that we caught alot of fish 😱 I forgot to take my seasick meds so qe had to turnaround early but I will STILL be back in the immediate future for those bluefin tunas 😋 Thanks again for the fun guys 🙌
It was great getting you and your family out Jesse! We’d love to get you back out!
Fantastic trip, Captain and crew made the trip. Right on top off the fish. Great advise for both novis and experiencd fishing persons. The boat is beyond comfortable even on a little choppy seas. Our group plans to charter the day and half trip next time in town. The experience was 110 out off 100.
I took a half day trip today with two of my colleagues and it did not disappoint! Kerim and his crew were amazing. The boat is beautiful and very well maintained. Kerim and Jordan helped us at all times, baiting hooks, finding great spots and basically anything you ask for! All three of us were pulling in fish on every cast and most of the time they were doubles for every one of us! They really go the extra mile. Kerim told us about a processor close by to send our fish home but then he called them on the way back to the dock and they met us there. So amazing fishing, fantastic boat and kick ass crew that delivers outstanding customer service-- what more could you ask for! I highly recommend and definitely will be back.
So glad you enjoyed your trip! We were stoked to have you all and the fishing was amazing today! Hope to fish with you all in the future!
