Our group of 9 had a GREAT time aboard Nauti Ventures! The weather was beautiful and we were all able to make several catches - specifically Mahi Mahi and Sail Fish. I admittedly stopped counting, but we had to have caught at least 25 fish. The captain and his firstmates were friendly, professional, and got straight to business; they worked hard to make sure we had a great time. We enjoyed the drinks, fruit, and lunch they offered - the boat was in good condition too. Catching Tuna would have made this a perfect day, but we can't always get what we want LOL. THANK YOU!
The boat is well equipped and has several areas to hang out while waiting for the fish to arrive. I can't say enough about the Captain and Crew. They were friendly and helpful, but most of all they made the day special for everyone. As a blind person I was worried that I wouldn't be given the same experiences as the other people in the group. The team helped me by having me feel everything so I would know what to expect, and when the fish was on the line they let me bring it in the same as the others. I felt included and so excited when that fish finally was landed. This was a family event for us and it was the highlight of our trip! Everyone talked about it for the rest of our time together and it will be a wonderful memory for us going forward. Thank you for this great experience!
Flybridge lounge seat makes for a comfortable ride to and from the hotspot. 3 course meal with plates of fresh fruit, chips and dip, and sandwiches served on 3/4 day trip. Hardworking and extremely friendly captain and crew. We didn't have great luck with targeted species. Caught a nice Mahi.
We had an awesome experience with Nauti and the crew. Communication ahead of time was great, and Captain Arturo and Aaron were great. We caught several tuna and sailfish - both firsts. The boat is not fancy but everything met our expectatations - but if you want to catch fish with great guys this is the boat.
We did the half day trip. My wife and I and our kids, 14 and 16. We caught total of 7 mahi mahi. Had some sailfish on the line but lost them before we got them in. Snacks and drinks were provided and great.
