    Phenomenal Experience

    3/4 Day Trip on June 6, 2026 • 2 adults

    The boat captain was knowledgeable and took us to a number of locations to help us catch something. We caught three fish: Tuna, Mahi Mahi, hound fish. The water was choppy, but we quickly built trust with the captain and he maneuvered the rocky waters safely. He fileted the fish for us, gave us a taste straight from the spine of the tuna and walked us to a restaurant afterwards to have the chef cook our catch. We'd book Jorge again for sure!

    Half Day Trip on March 22, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing time with Jorge. The boat was so nice and great equipment. Jorge was so wonderful with my 10 year old helping him bring in the fish and he knew the spots. We caught Sailfish, Makeral, Snapper and Mahi.

    Amazing Time

    Half Day Trip on March 12, 2025 • 2 adults

    I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the amazing fishing trip we had with Captain Jorge. (A fellow military veteran) From start to finish, the experience was top-notch, and I couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water! Captain Jorge was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He knew exactly where to take us based on local conditions, and his passion for fishing was truly contagious. Whether it was helping us with techniques, sharing local fishing insights, or making sure we were comfortable and having fun, he went above and beyond. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and perfect for our adventure. We caught some fish, and spent over 40 minutes reeling in a mature sailfish, all while making unforgettable memories, and enjoyed every moment of the trip. I highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for an exceptional fishing experience! Thank you again to Captain Jorge for an unforgettable day—I can’t wait to book another trip soon! Matt & Austin

    Persistent!

    3/4 Day Trip on July 17, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Jorge was great he found us bait fish first and then we dropped lines caught fish out in the deep ocean and to end the trip he took us in shore for some sea trout fun fishing with whatever bait he had left. There was never a dull moment and he was very patient I went with my father in law who’s a little older and he helped him immensely from casting for him to baiting his hook for him highly recommended trip thanks again captain Jorge

    Great day on the water

    3/4 Day Trip – Mahi Mahi on July 1, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Jorge is top notch. Leading up to our fishing trip with Captain Jorge he was easy to contact and answered all my questions. Day of the trip was absolutely amazing! Captain Jorge got us on the fish. We caught wahoo and other species and enjoyed every second. Captain Jorge was very professional and kind and really knows his stuff! If you’re looking for a great experience with someone who knows what he’s doing then Captain Jorge is your man. Thank you Captain Jorge for the amazing day! We will definitely be back to see you so we can put some Mahi in the boat next time.
