    Incredible Day - Highly Recommended!

    Fun Deep Drop/Trolling, 3/4 Day on April 1, 2025 • 2 adults

    My husband and I love to fish and decided to book a charter during our Honeymoon in Cartagena. I'm SO glad we decided to go with this tour from Bomba Tours. We had the absolute best day - Trevor, Heather, Jason and the team were great, and so fun to hang out with. They had everything ready for the day - snacks, water, juice, beer - and gear ready to go. We went out and started trolling, and immediately hit 2 tuna! Then we spent the rest of the day deep dropping for snapper, and got a bunch! After we got back for the day, they prepared the fish and cooked it up for us right there onsite - we got to try fresh ceviche with the snapper, fresh sashimi with the tuna, and whole fried snapper. Overall, it was an incredible day and experience, and we're so grateful to their team!

    Unforgettable Fishing Adventure in Cartagena!

    Fun Deep Drop/Trolling, 3/4 Day on March 31, 2025 • 5 adults

    We had an amazing fishing day tour in Cartagena with Trevor and Holly. It was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, Trevor made us feel right at home. He’s not only super knowledgeable about the area and fishing, but also a genuinely great host. We went out with him and caught tuna and a few other types of fish which was amazing. After the catch, we brought the fish back to Trevor’s camp and cooked it right there. We did some Tuna sashimi and white fish ceviche! The food was incredible fresh, and flavorful. To top it all off, Trevor surprised us with a fun bike ride around the Island, giving us a more local and off-the-beaten-path experience of Cartagena. It was beyond just a tour and it felt like spending the day with a good friend who really knows how to show you the best of the cartagena. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Cartagena.

    Fun Deep Drop/Trolling, 3/4 Day on June 2, 2025 • 4 adults

    Get out and fish! My teenage sons and I had an awesome time with Trevor and crew. They’re knowledgeable and experienced, and we had a great day on the water. Snapper, grouper, a shark (catch and release), and an accidental moray eel! It got even better when we got back to the dock. Trevor and Holly had our fresh catch cooked up for us right there. Ceviche, fried snapper and grouper, and soup! And if that’s not enough, Trevor and Holly are invested in the local community. They share extras with their neighbors. Don’t go anywhere else!

    Best deep-sea fishing experience in Cartagena hands-down

    Pro Deep Drop/Troll, Full Day on May 27, 2025 • 5 adults

    We had an awesome time with this couple. Their boat was very well equipped, and probably the best one I saw out there in the marina. The weather and fishing was amazing. We caught some awesome groupers and then we took them back and they had their chefs cook up one of the best seafood meals we’ve ever had. The tour guide is very experience and had some awesome stories to share with us. He made us feel like we were at home and very comfortable. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone coming to Cartagena

    3/4 Day - Deep Drop Fishing with Captain Trevor

    Fun Deep Drop/Trolling, 3/4 Day on July 19, 2024

    I went deep drop fishing with my son and brother while visiting Cartagena for my wife's 50th. I found Get Tight Fishing online based on the many positive reviews so decided to give them a try, especially as it was all of our first time fishing in the Caribbean. I reached out over email at first but then communicated directly with Holly over WhatsApp. I scheduled the pick-up with Captain Trevor at the resort we were staying at in Baru and we traveled out a good 45m-1hr to a spot he had fished before. This spot did not disappoint. On the first drop we were getting hits left and right, but weren't able to haul one in. After re-baiting the lines and going for a second drop, we nailed a queen snapper in no time at all, and from there on we were landing hit after hit. We hauled in a number of sizable groups and a host of other varieties - so many fish in fact that we ran out of room on the boat. After this, we headed back to their home base where some of their local helpers cleaned up the fish for us so we could bring it back to the resort later. Trevor setup a steam bath for us and we jumped in their pool to cool off. After having some fresh ceviche Trevor took us to a snorkeling spot that was around the corner from our resort and we managed to see many different small fish varieties and some corals. This was a really nice way to end the day. There was no time pressure to fit everything in within 6 hours and we could really take our time exploring. Needless to day, all 3 of us had a blast and I would definitely do it again next time I am in Baru with my family. I highly recommend to anyone considering.

    Amazing Experience ! Highly Recommend Bomba Tours !

    Insta Fishing, Half Day on June 20, 2024 • 2 adults

    Our deep sea fishing trip was awesome! My friend and I have never been deep sea fishing and we were glad we selected Primetime to charter. The boat was equipped with new technology and a variety of bait to attract different fish. Trevor, Shane, and Holly made the experience unforgettable and was the most safe and fun we had while in Cartagena. They make you feel like family. We enjoyed their island so much that we came back the next day to do ATV tours which I recommend as well. It was really interesting traveling through the town and seeing how locals lived. Passionate about fishing, good people, and positive vibes - the team here does an awesome job. Would rate this trip NINETY-NINE/100 only because we didn’t catch a shark.

    Don't hesitate for a moment! BOOK NOW!

    Fun Deep Drop/Trolling, 3/4 Day on February 15, 2024 • 5 adults

    If you're shopping around or just considering this tour I would 100% suggest you book it now. This is coming from someone who caught no fish. They were more than prepared with the best equipment but we had to quit almost as soon as we started given someone wad extremely ill. Rather than have us chalk up the loss like many tours would do, they went out of their way to make our day incredible. They secured us freshly caught lobsters, fresh shrimp and the captain cooked us up an amazing lunch. We were basically given a private island adventure with ice bath, sauna, pool, drinks and food, and then ATV tour, all at no charge! You can tell this team is passionate about fishing but just as important they want to do their best to make you happy. It was my birthday and in the end it exceeded my expectations.

    BOOK THIS FISHING TRIP. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

    Special 8 hours trip for Kevin Argyle on February 9, 2024 • 2 adults

    If you're wondering who to go with, stop! This is the right place!!!! By far, the most amazing fishing charter that I have taken in a long time and I have been on many, many, many fishing trips. This was my second time booking. We didn't have luck the first time around but I had a genuinely good experience with them before so I thought I would give it another shot. We did catch fish this time around and oh boy it just keeps getting better. The boat is newer the crew seems even lighter. Such genuine people, it's hard to leave this place. They don't belong in Colombia but I hope they stay around. Everything is as stated and better. New boat, high tech gadgets, excellent gear. Small restaurant and bar for fishing customers. Their chef is amazing. The lemongrass steam after the trip with the cold plunge was a nice touch while we waited for them to prepare fresh ceviche, grouper head soup, fried fish and bbq. They run a small operation but it has everything you would want from a fishing trip + and their passion for providing a good experience is second to none. This isn't a mill that churns customers out.. I booked it because I had read other reviews and thought maybe I will give it a chance. Will never look back. What a hidden gem in Colombia. Do yourself a favor and avoid other hassles.

    Amazing trip!

    Pro Deep Drop/Troll, Full Day on March 26, 2025 • 1 adult

    This trip was amazing and far more than just fishing. We were picked up at a dock by our apartment and then driven to an island where we had breakfast. We then got on their big boat and went off shore where we were on snapper as soon as the bait hit the bottom. The crew was fantastic and the owner is someone I’ll consider a life long friend. There is so much to experience from this trip. I highly recommend it.

    One of the best experiences I have. Loved the crew and captain they worked tirelessly to put us on fish. Appreciate the technology even if it takes away the personal feel of fishing. Getting a fish with an automatic wheel it’s amazing especially from 1200 feet. Thank you Trevor for the experience …. Don’t get me started on the soup and the food that it was cooked for us ❤️❤️❤️

    What a great experience. I had never used a motorized reel before but once I got the hang of it, we had fish coming up pretty regularly. We ended up with red snapper, grouper and a 6 foot shark! The crew then prepared the catch and cooked it for me, while I waited in the pool at their private vacation retreat. Delicious! Highly recommend this trip!
