Full Day Trip – Big Game on July 27, 20262 adults

The boat and its crew were fantastic they were so helpful and knowledgeable they could mot do enough for our 3 man trip. They cover almost 85 miles in the day in search of big fish. but we dod see some amazing wildlife, dolphins in their hundreds, whales and turtles. I have the highest regard for the two guys in their pursuit of big fish for us and the hospitality they showed us. alas it was not meant to be that’s why this is called fishing and not catching good look in your future endeavours lads all the best Daz, Rob and Bert fron Sheffield , UK.

Amazing experience!
Half Day Trip – Big Game on July 21, 20262 adults1 child

We had such an amazing experience with our 10 year old son. Luis and Guilherme were very motivated to catch his dreamfish… which we did! A 800lbs Blue Marlin just at the end of the trip when we thought we were going home empty handed. What a rush! The boat is a very comfortable size and the crew so fiendly, enthousiastic and motivated. Highly recommended!

Reported catch:
Blue Marlin

great experience what expected crew and boat were professional and fun didn't catch my target fish, blue marlin, but did catch a large big eye tuna no charters had caught any fish for several days, so I was a bit of a celebrity when getting back to port, that was kinda fun ended going on a different boat, larger, the Scorpion, which worked out very well highly recommend

Caught yellowfin, AM trip
Half Day Trip – Big Game on October 4, 20232 adults

Carlos and Pablo ran a great short trip for my wife and me. We booked a 4 hour trip last minute the night before, and would recommend a similar trip to anyone. Pablo put out 5 weighted and skirted rigs on Penn 130s, and trolled almost out of the harbor for the rest of the afternoon. He put us on the shelf/drop off and we found some birds working and what looked like albacore tuna breaking/jumping on the surface. Followed the school around for a bit with no luck. Came about two miles closer in to shore and got a bite on the center line. Pablo cleared the lines quickly and I got in the chair after the initial run. After about 15 minutes got the fish to the boat, was an approximately 45"/60+ lb yellowfin! The guys did a great job wrangling the fish, gaffing, and dressing the fish on the boat. That was the only fish of the day for us, but it was a good day overall. Carlos made sure we were having a good time and wanted to talk shop/fishing as much as I did! I'd recommend anyone to head out with them.
