My 14 year old nephew and I had s great day out fishing with Alex and Luci! The boat was very comfortable, the company was great and they had everyhing needed for a good day on the waves. We saw flying fish and a seal, and we caught tuna, mahi mahi and a couple of other fishes. Luci took us to a local restaurant that cooked the fish for us that evening, which was magical. Thanks again for taking such good care of us, we had a great day 🤩
Hy you both, thank you very much for the review🥳🥳🥳. Liam is great and concentrated fisherman, when he is grown up we will take him to work on the BZU with us:-) Special day 🎣🎣🎣
Our family had a truly exceptional day on the water. From the start, Captain Alex and First Mate Lucy were welcoming and clear with instructions. On the AM mixed fishing trip we caught around 25 fish—snappers, triggerfish, groupers, and more—and the crew made sure everyone was engaged, even our kids (16 and 10). The gear was great, and they helped with baiting and tips. Beyond fishing, they shared insights about the island, making it interesting. The cherry on top: they arranged for our fresh catch to be cooked at a local restaurant, giving us one of our best family lunches ever. Highly recommended!
Hy you four. Thank you a lot for this great review. You are a wonderful family and we also had a special day with you all:-) Hope to see you again anytime 🥳🥳🥳
Great company and the Craig was excellent. Loved every minute of being out watching my son reel in on an ice rod a couple of trigger great fun. The bitch (served us well (you have to go out to understand this)). Would recommend to anyone it very definitely one of the friendliest boat I have ever been on. When we are back we will be booking. Keep up the great work spreading how great fishing is. John and Will
Hy John. Thank You so much for the great Review🙏 You and your son were also wonderful people to have on board. Hope to see you again🥳Best regards from Luci and the Captain-Bitch Alex😂😂😂
The four of us (2 parents and 2 older teenagers) thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Alex and Lucia were wonderful…fun, friendly and knowledgeable. We caught several fish (4 big trigger fish, a medium sea bream and several smaller snapper which we released) and we learned how to filet the fish. They were great with our teenagers. We would highly recommend this trip.
Hy Sam, thanks a lot for your Review 🥳. You are a wonderful Family and we really enjoyed the time with you all. Thank you for spending time with us😎😎😎
We took our 8-year-old daughter on her very first fishing trip, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The crew went above and beyond to make sure she had a wonderful time, and she ended up catching 12 fish. She is already talking about when she can go fishing again. They even coordinated with one of the marina restaurants to cook our catch for us, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything about this trip was fantastic. This is a definite must-book experience!
Hy Raven, thanks a lot for your Review. It was also for us a great day with you three on the water🎣🎣🎣Your doughter will get a great fisherlady🥳🥳🥳
