The crew was great. The boat and equipment were well prepared. They put us on fish. Larger types would have been preferred but that's fishing. Thanks guys. Good trip.
Captain Poncho and Jose were incredible people! Both were outstanding fisherman who were professional, organized, knowledgeable, experienced, and accommodating. They tirelessly worked the whole time to get us on a fish, clean the boat, prepare baits, change locations, or prepare delish fresh ceviche from a couple fish we caught. We were lucky enough to have landed a huge 12 ft Marlin!! Captain Poncho also was an exceptional boat driver and made us feel very safe, as the ocean conditions were pretty rough coming back in. He also helped us package our fish to take some home and gave us options as far as mounting. A day we will never forget. What amazing people!! You can tell they are dedicated to what they do.
Thank you very much for your comments, we hope you come back again and that you recommend us to your family and friends
Could you please let me know if you didn't enjoy my service, how I attended to you, or what the issue was with the service? I would appreciate your feedback.

Captain Ildefonso's passion for fishing is only matched by his passion for people. He sees fishing as a way to interact with different people, to enjoy together, and to make new friends. Having run charters since the mid-1980s, he knows exactly what makes a successful fishing trip, and says he'll never tire of seeing people smile as they reel in a big fish.
