Great Captain, boat and deckhands. Terrible fishing, but not due to them or anything they could control.
12 hour Deep Sea Fishing on July 9, 20258 adults

We chartered a 12 hour offshore trip for Marlin, Sailfish and Dorado. The Captain and 2 deckhands were awesome and spoke good English. The boat was really nice with a good AC and excellent equipment as well as a nice bathroom. The fishing that day was terrible, which was not for a lack of effort on their behalf trying. I don't know if the fish were just not there, weren't biting because of the moon phase or what, but we caught ONE fish all day. Luckily it was a nice 140 lb Blue Marlin. We had 6-7 lines in the water all day and tried everything. That being said, I would highly recommend both the crew, the equipment and boat and wouldn't hesitate to charter them again. There is a reason it's called fishing and not catching.
