AustraliaMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewA must do trip!!
8 Hour Trip – Kingfish Mahi (MAX 8) on September 12, 2026 • 7 adultsI would highly recommend this trip to anyone, whether you’re going with a big group or a small one. Captain Tony was an incredible host with a wealth of knowledge and experience. He was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the entire trip, regardless of everyone’s skill level or previous fishing experience. We had a beautiful day out on the water and caught more than enough fish for all eight of us who went out. Overall, it was an incredible experience and a day we won’t forget. A massive thank you to Captain Tony for making the trip so enjoyable. We would definitely do it again!

Tony and John were very accommodating and helpful during our trip.
