Special 6 hours trip for Leo Kukuk
Captain and Crew ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A wonderful trip out on the sea – perfectly organized from start to finish! The captain and crew were incredibly kind, attentive, and very professional. From the moment we set off, we felt welcome, and throughout the entire trip there was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. What deserves special mention is the captain's great fairness and honesty: since the water was too cold for big game fishing that day, he didn't just take us out anyway but instead changed the tour on short notice. Rather than taking a risk or selling us an empty trip, he put the well-being of his guests first – something that is rare to find these days and builds great trust. This turned the trip into a varied fishing experience where we were able to catch different species. The crew was always helpful – whether it was reeling in the lines, removing hooks, or explaining the types of fish – and even gave us tips on how to prepare them so we could enjoy our catch later on. The calmness of the water, the vastness of the sea, and the honest, down-to-earth nature of the entire team made this day truly special. Fazit: Highly recommended – absolute fairness, flexible planning, warm hospitality, and an unforgettable day with a crew you can truly trust!

Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing
More Than Fishing
This trip was so much more than fishing — it was a genuine human experience at sea. From the very beginning, Captain Josué made us feel like we were old friends. Calm, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable, he carries the sea in his soul. He doesn't just navigate the boat — he shares his passion for the ocean, his respect for nature, and his quiet joy in watching others connect with the water. Alongside him was Guilherme, the mate — kind, funny, and always ready to help with a smile. Whether he was untangling a line, explaining the bait, or sharing stories of past adventures, Guilherme brought a warmth and generosity that made everyone on board feel at ease. We went bottom fishing, yes — and the gear was great, the catches exciting. But what made this trip unforgettable was the way Josué and Guilherme created a space of trust, laughter, and real connection. It felt like we were part of a small crew, even just for a few hours. If you're looking for more than just a boat ride — if you want to experience the ocean through the eyes of people who truly live it — this is the trip for you. We came for the fishing, but we left with something deeper.

6 - Hour Game Fishing Trip
Incredible day
What a day, Captain Josue really knows what he is doing, along with the 2 crew mates. Had 3 amazing fights with some big tuna. I am a complete novice when it comes to tuna fishing and was quite worried about that, but it turns out I had nothing to worry about. I was walked through each part of the fight, what to do, they explained what the fish was doing. I couldn't recommend this charter any higher, I will definitely be back.

Full Day Trip – Marlin Fishing
Great skipper and great day, just not the day for bites
Great day out, saw hundreds of dolphin's and the skipper tried really hard to find us a fish. But big game is high risk and we knew this before we booked. Sadly as nice as it is to see dolphin's, they do tend to scare the fish we wanted to see on the deck. Would recommend and will book again if I'm ever back in the area Big thanks to Josea and his son👍🏻

Special 3 hour trip for Gary Povey
Great experience would recommend
Accommodated our request for a specific duration and times. We were 2 adults, 1 x 17 year old and 2 x 14 year old. The crew were amazing. Really knowledgeable about location, tides, weather etc and chose a great spot (they clearly know their stuff) where we caught a lot of fish. The team were very supportive and made the experience incredibly memorable
