    4 hour tour

    4 Hour Trip on May 12, 2022 • 9 adults

    Everything was as expected based on the high reviews prior to booking. They were great helping us from booking, transportation, and making sure everything went off without any troubles. We caught fish pretty much all day but got 3 big ones including a rare tiger grouper. This was our first deep sea fishing trip so I don’t have anything to compare it too, but I’d go again with these guys just because they did such a good job making sure we had a good time.

    Great Crew, Great Time, So-So Boat

    8 hours on June 26, 2024 • 4 adults

    The crew really was amazing. Very informative, very fun. Captain Willy, Antonio, and Pato worked tirelessly to get us on fish, and ultimately did! We only caught one big fish, an 8’ nurse shark, which we released, but still had a great time. The boat, the boat was old. It was lacking a lot of basic comforts, and technology you’d expect on a deep sea fishing trip. The photos of the boat’s cabin were not taken within the last decade. I would not hesitate to go out with this crew again, on a different boat. I wouldn’t go out on this boat again.

The owner operates with several boats. Their owners are also the captains and guides with and addition of other experienced guides and skippers. With a bilingual team, you don't have to worry about communication, even if you don't speak Spanish. The owners are actually pilots working for commercial airlines and they started this business out of a sheer passion for fishing.
