Marine Life Charters is where you can feel the power of the fish. The captain is very agile and vigilant with health studies and waterman life. You will have the reel so you must know that in the offshore we don't use full drag on them. We use carbontex drags with 600° grease to fight the fish. Just relax, they will stop and get tired.

    Excellent Trip with a Great & Friendly Captain Francisco

    3/4 Day on August 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    Although the day was not crazy packed with action Capt. Francisco still managed to put us on 2 great size fish! (Mahi & Mackerel) We did a 3/4 day trip and had a blast! His expertise and knowledge of the fishery was impressive, only to be matched by his friendliness & welcoming vibes! Thank you Capt. hope all of your future trips can be as fun & peaceful as ours!

    sailfish

    3/4 Day on December 27, 2025 • 3 adults

    We had a good day. started out with a big marlin breaking our line then we landed a nice sized mahi. It was a slow bite kind of day but at the end of our 3/4 day we hooked up with a beautiful sailfish. The sailfish was definitely the highlight of the trip.
