First time on the ocean
Manzanillo Fishing Bay on February 24, 20263 adults

Joel was an amazing captain and got us on fish right away. The boat was clean and safe. The weather in Manzanillo is spectacular! Highly recommend Five Reasons for your next trip. We did the bay trip today but want to do a longer one next year for sure.

5 Hours Fishing Trip on October 27, 20251 adult

Ramon and mate Joel were really great. Caught a sailfish at the death but would have been a great trip regardless. Captain and mate were very professional, courteous and worked extremely hard to finally get that fish. Would recommend highly if you visit Manzanillo.

Big Game Fishing Trip Full Day on April 27, 2025

It was a great day, full of action with this fast boat and the best crew. I couldn't ask for more. Lots of tuna fishing and, to top it off, a big blue marlin on board. One of my best fishing trips with my son and great friends.

Totally recommended, great fishing experience.
10 Hour Trip on January 3, 2021

I have made several trips along with Captain Michel and I always end up with full thrill for those great fishing days; starting from the captain's punctuality, his professionalism and good attitude. And it is worth mentioning that the boat is so beautiful, and it is always in impeccable conditions. Captain Michel is very friendly and he is an expert sailor, he explained me everything in detail so that I could enjoy fishing at its best. Michel knows very well the fishing zones, we have caught blue marlins, striped marlins, and sailfishes. We were able to enjoy our fresh fishes at the boat, since Captain Michel is not only a great fisherman, but also a good cook. Besides to what we have caught, we have seen dolphins, turtles and flying fishes, which complements the trip and makes it very entertaining.
