3/4 Day Trip – Inshore/Offshore on December 30, 2024

Captain Andres and his first mate were great guys! With five people on board, we all caught fish! My wife reeled in a 200lb sailfish and a large mahi mahi! The crew cut up our tuna on board and made sashimi for lunch! Would recommend to anyone! We’ll be back!

Full Day Trip – Inshore/Offshore on February 20, 2024

Had a great half day deep shore fishing with Vibert and crew. Caught 4 sailfish and a mahi. Boat was impeccable. Watching the captain and crew get all the lines out was like a work of art, super efficient and we were fishing almost immediately as we were leaving the harbor. Communication was great. Fun catching the little dingy on the beach to get to the big boat. Had food - sandwiches, watermelon, coconut water and beers stocked on board. Would 100% use again.

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on February 9, 2024

We had a great day on the water with captain Vibert and his first mate. We only booked a half day but should have done a full day because it was such a great experience. His boat is high end and immaculate, fruit was delicious, drinks plentiful, and his knowledge of the fishing grounds was amazing. He pulled out all the stops and we caught barracuda, tuna, and my bucket list rooster fish. Captain Vibert is calm, considerate, and has a killer playlist. Highly recommended!
