Good day fishing
4 Hour Tour Quest on February 16, 20266 adults

Captain Randy and First Mate Caribe were great. We booked a 4-hour trip, which was delayed a day die to windy conditions. (Thanks for rescheduling!) When an hour of trolling yielded no fish, we switched to bottom fishing. We quickly caught a nice sized Red Snapper, then a Silver Snapper, another small fish, and a Barracuda. The highlight of the trip was the ceviche they made with part of the Red Snapper. It was delicious. We would have loved to have caught more fish, but overall it was a good trip. Thanks to Randy and Caribe!

Great Fishing
4 Hour Tour Quest on March 30, 20262 adults2 children

Osiris worked hard on a slow day where there was very little bite and finally got us on Barracuda. The trip was excellent, we even had fresh made guacamole and ceviche. Osiris made sure it was a great trip for my family. We highly recommend!

17 Mahi Mahi in 2 Hours
4 Hour Tour Quest on September 5, 20242 adults

The captain and crew took care of us from the minute we stepped on the boat. Our one request was to catch great tasting fish that we could have cooked up locally in Puerto Adventuras. We set off trolling and they had us hooked into our favorite fish, Mahi Mahi, in less than 30 minutes. We pulled in 17 Mahi before our sea nausea got the best of us. We could have easily prevented this with Dramamine - but oh well! We were on pace to pull in well over 30 fish if we could've stayed out for the full 4 hours. When we got back to the marina the crew took some photos of us with our catch and filleted our fish. They had us pick out the ones we wanted to fly back to the states with and the one we wanted to take to the local restaurant. They packed up the fish and we headed to the restaurant - it was the best meal we had on our vacation. A three course meal with our Mahi. Can't recommend this crew enough!

Great day on the water
8 Hour Tour Quest on April 8, 20252 adults2 children

Took the kids out for some fishing and had a great day out on the water. My husband and I each caught a fish, which was great considering it was a slow day for the other fishing boats as well. We were taken to a reef where we could do some snorkeling and our oldest had the time of her life doing that. Crew was super friendly. Ended the day with a delicious meal of burgers and hotdogs. Would recommend!

I've been passionate about the sea ever since I was a kid. My favorite technique is trolling, and I prefer to release the fish after I've caught it.
