We did a half day morning fishing trip with our family. The day started out pouring rain, but we didn’t mind. It cleared up and the sun came out strong towards the end of the trip. The Captain and 1st mate we both very friendly and made us feel welcome and at ease from the beginning. They provided us with drinks and a watermelon and all the equipment needed. The fishing ended up being really slow but we didn’t mind to much. It was fun just being out in the boat on the ocean. Our son did end up catching one Jack and he thought it was awesome.

We had a great experience with Soleil Fishing! We went out on a full day of offshore fishing. Captain Elier and David were very accommodating and flexible. We stayed offshore for most of the day and caught one mahi mahi and a tuna. Captain Elier offered us the option to go inshore to see if we had better luck and we caught quite a few mackerels and a Jack. We stayed out a bit longer than scheduled and had a lot of fun!! Then we went to the Captain’s restaurant, Bahia Azul, and the waiter offered to cook up some of our mahi mahi for our dinner. It was the best meal we’ve ever had and they kept it in the freezer while we ate. No charge to cook the fish, only paid for our drinks and sides. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!!

Had an amazing time with captain Elier and his mate Danny. Started off the morning by heading offshore and was able to see some sailfish jumping out of the water but could not get them to bite. Then the real fun began when me and my dad each got to bring in 30 pound mahi mahis. We fishing offshore for a couple more hours with no more luck. We headed back inshore for the afternoon as I told Elier I wanted to catch a rooster fish. We caught live bait and were able to catch 3 big Spanish mackerel and one Jack. They took the extra time to take us to different spots and even stayed out late to catch some more fish. Highly recommend.

Day started off on time, went to catch some live bait and headed offshore. Trolled for about 6 hours 30 miles off shore with no bites. We did see a sailfish and 4-5 marlin jumping in the area, but they just didn’t want to play. We started heading back in and through the trip was over due to it hitting the 8th hour, but Captain Elise wanted to make sure we put fish in the deck. We fished for an additional 2 hours in shore and landed a solid snook, rooster fish and a good sized jack!
Gear on the boat is up to date, sandwiches he brought for lunch were great with fruit and drinks. He let me fillet the snook and I took half the fish to my hotel where they grilled it for us.
Definitely recommend fishing with Captain Elier and deckhand David. Thanks Captain for the maximum effort you put in to make sure we put fish on the deck.

We booked 2 trips with Elier, one inshore and one off shore.  The first trip, though they struggled catching bait, resulted in us catching 2 mackerels, 3 needlefish and 8 Jack crevalle.  The second trip was to be our offshore trip but after talking with Elier and learning the sailfish were about 37 miles out we decided to do another inshore, which resulted in 5 mackerels, 2 jacks and 1 needlefish.  First mate David quickly prepared an amazing ceviche with our first mackerel right on board!  Delicious!  We greatly appreciated the communication from Elier before each trip.  He reached out several days before our first trip, even before we left the US.  Though their boat is not as large as some other charters they proved that the boat doesn’t get you the fish or make it enjoyable… the captain and crew do! As a female, I was a little uncomfortable peeing onboard in a bucket, but when I had to go they were very respectful and pulled everyone to the back of the boat facing away from me.  As a bonus we got to see a couple sea turtles and a group of dolphins joined our boat… they were so close that we could have reached out and touched them.  We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.
