Kaitlyn Love•
Maryland, USMember since 20195.0VerifiedAmazing Fishing Adventure with Esteban and Fernando
Half Day Trip on January 2, 2020 • 6 adultsI don’t know if I can put into words how awesome our day was. One of the guys on our trip said it was the best experience of his life. Esteban and Fernando are great captains, very knowledgeable about the local water and so much fun too! We started the day by seeing a humpback whale, followed by fighting and catching 3 large Mahi Mahi, and ended with a quick snorkeling session by the whales tail. We ended the day with cervezas, while they cleaned our catch and made us the best ceviche of our lives. Do not hesitate to book this trip, you won’t be sorry!
Amy Smith•Montana, USMember since 20215.0VerifiedHalf Day Trip with Capt. Esteban Jimenez Gomez
Half Day Trip on May 20, 2021 • 2 adultsThere is not enough room to describe the most memorable experience ever. Capt. Esteban could not have been accommodating. It was a friends birthday that I mentioned to the Capt. and the reason for the trip. 45 minutes into the trip out comes a Birthday Cake. Totally unexpected. Capt. took us all over to show us a different perspective off the coast. We saw sea turtles, jumping sting rays, pacific dolphin and a rare marine snake. Capt. Esteban has a work ethic you rarely see in any profession these days. He worked none stop changing from trolling to jigging to deep line drop in facilitating our ability to catch fish. We caught many varieties of fish and sad to say we lost a giant snapper, due to our inexperience not the Captains. Coming back we toured the mangroves and as we approached the dock, Capt. Esteban sang for us. Excellent voice by the way. All I can say is we will be back and will recommend Capt. Esteban to everyone I know.
