Super day
Full Day Trip – Big Game on August 24, 20251 adult

Excellent friendly crew. We lost a White Marlin early in the trip but then we found the Tuna and finished with 3 Bigeye of around 100 kg each. The only problem was my sore shoulder the following day! Those Bigeye are pure muscle.

Reported catch:
Bigeye Tuna

It's called fishing for a reason
Full Day Trip – Big Game on April 27, 20255 adults

A large and comfortable boat with a friendly and knowledgeable crew. We did not catch any fish but it was not from a lack of trying. There is communication between both charter and commercial fishing boats and the tuna were not biting. If you are going to be disappointed if you don't catch fish the near shore fishing may be the more appropriate trip.

Great experience despite no fish
Half Day Trip – Big Game on January 19, 20242 adults

This would have been a much better trip if we had caught fish, but our captain did everything he could do to find us something. The equipment and boat were both top notch. In addition, the captain and crew were great. I would have loved to catch fish, but I plan on booking another trip with this captain at a more probable time to find fish.
