    Father’s Day gift

    Half Day – Bottom Fishing/Jigging on July 9, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    This trip carried 3 generstions of men in our family. The seas were a wee choppy but the captain and his mate took care of us. There were snacks ans beverages, a comforable boat environment and alot of fun and laughs! We would do it all over again! We all caught barracuda and enjoyed it later that evening in a traditional Michalense style of cooking!

    Double hook-up!

    Full Day – Bottom Fishing/Jigging on July 28, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captian and crew were excellent! They worked extremely hard and got us a double hook-up with 2-100 pound big eye! Captain positioned the boat perfectly and first mate was running everwhere to make landing both possible! Gear and boat were in excellent shape. Thanks for the great trip!

    Excellent Tour just missed luck

    Full Day Trip – Big Game (copy) on August 28, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Roberto and Team gave us (family with two small kids) a lovely day at sea and tried everything to bring us to the fish. Unfortunately it was the day of the Marlin and not us. Anytime again to Level that Account with a big blue marlin. Thank you again for the great time.

    Fantastic Fishing Trip!

    Half Day – Bottom Fishing/Jigging on July 6, 2026 • 7 adults

    Captain Carlos and First Mate did a super job of taking care of my family of 7 on our half day fishing adventure. Captain found some fish shortly after leaving the harbor and continued to track with them. Caught some nice sized barracuda and one trigger fish. Everyone in the party was happy catching these fish. Boat was clean and very comfortable for all of us. Great time was had by all.
