With trips running all year round and for all types of angler, they are sure to have a fishing package to suit your individual needs.

Captain Frank’s boat is a 25 ft Mako center console called “La Reyna”. Immaculately presented and loaded with top quality gear, the vessel is a comfortable and effective platform for groups of families or friends. It features brand new Hummingbird electronics, a radio/stereo, and twin four stroke Yamaha motors. You will find comfortable seating on board, as well as a shady T-top to ensure that everyone on board can enjoy their experience to the full.

Samara Local Fishing offer both full- and half-day trips, and they give you the option of fishing either inshore or offshore.

When fishing offshore, you will mostly be trolling, and will be able to try the effective ‘bait and switch’ technique for thrilling big game fishing for Sailfish, Marlin, Tuna, and Wahoo.

Drinks and snacks are included in the price of all trips, and the charter company also offers a pick-up service for guests who are staying in the local area.

Fishing Trip with Captain Frank and First Mate Olman

Wonderful fishing trip with Frank and Olman…..Both are always cheerful, always happy, always very professional in the fishing experience.  We (husband and wife) booked a four hour morning tour.  They were on time and perfectly prepared with everything possible for our enjoyment…great fishing gear, clean boat, cold water, juices, snacks and cold beer.  Lots of everything!
They did everything possible for us to catch fish - short of diving under and putting the fish on the hook!  And we caught fish.  Around a 35 pound Roosterfish - great photos and then back in the water.  And a large yellowfin Tuna which happily graces our dinner table and lots to share with friends.  And three medium size black tuna we used for bait during the day. At the end of a wonderful day, they arranged for the transport back to our hotel.  Highly recommend this fishing experience to anyone.
