There's a fish with your name on it in Jan Thiel and Wazapap Private Charters will help you catch it! Captain David will be your guide, giving you access to years of angling experience.

Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Great Barracuda, and more can be found in these waters, depending on the season. On these trips, you can expect to troll.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.

Your day begins aboard a 44' Luhrs convertible with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board as well as bbq on some trips.

Very awesome experience!!!
3/4 Day Trip highly recommended on July 23, 2026 • 2 adults

We had a great time with Wazapap Fishing Charter! We only caught two fish, but that's fishing—and the experience was excellent. We caught a sailfish early in the trip and later caught a beautiful mahi, making for a fun day on the water. The captain and deckhand were both friendly, professional, and very accommodating throughout the trip. They worked hard to put us on fish and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. We'd definitely fish with Wazapap again and highly recommend them!

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Great Fishing Trip
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 1, 2026 • 6 adults

We had an amazing 4-hour fishing trip! The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to put us on the fish. We ended up catching four large mahi-mahi, which made for an unforgettable experience. The boat was clean, the equipment was in great condition, and the entire trip was well organized from start to finish. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, I highly recommend this charter. We’ll definitely be back for another trip!

What an unfogatable adventure
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 15, 2026 • 1 adult • 2 children

I had the pleasure of stepping aboard David and Allan’s boat with my two young sons for a family fishing trip. We booked a 4-hour outing and caught four fish—much to the excitement of my kids! Allan was incredibly patient and took the time to answer all of my sons’ (many!) questions about fishing, which they absolutely loved. David even invited them up to “his office” so they could take in the view—such a special touch that made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this crew! They are friendly, trustworthy, helpful, and genuinely great with kids. Let’s go Wazapap!! 🎣

Rocky Seas, One Wahoo, and an Awesome Day with Captain David”
3/4 Day Trip highly recommended on December 15, 2025 • 3 adults

We went out fishing with Captain David on a day when the seas were definitely on the rougher side, but he handled everything with confidence and professionalism. Despite the conditions, we still managed to land a beautiful wahoo, which made the trip even more memorable. Captain David kept the mood upbeat the entire time, explained what we were doing, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. You can tell he knows these waters well and genuinely enjoys what he does. Even with challenging seas, the experience never felt stressful — just adventurous and fun. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable captain who stays positive, works hard to put you on fish, and delivers a great experience no matter the conditions, Captain David is a great choice. We’d absolutely go out with him again.

Reported catch:
Wahoo
