Chad Hiley5.0VerifiedGreat day with the fam
Full Day Trip on December 30, 2025 • 2 adultsSpent the day with Captain Rick and mate Orlando. After a slow morning, we found the yellowfin tuna and caught plenty. Once we had some fish for eating we targeted billfish and hooked and landed two sails. A great day, and excellent hosts.
Matt WeigelRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFish were caught
Full day off shore on December 7, 2025 • 4 adultsFishing wasn’t lights out seeing it was early in the season but Rick did his best to provide us with the best opportunity. We caught several yellowfin and a dorado. I would definitely fish with him again.
Georges Hougaerts5.0VerifiedPerfect day for a family that has never fished before!
Full Day Trip on August 9, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Rick knows what he's doing and will guide yoy through all the steps of finding and cathching fish. I caught (and released) a sailfish and my kids a blue marlin (catch & release) and a yellow fin tuna (which we kept and ate later that evening). We also saw sea turtles, dolphins and a mother whale with calf on our way back home.

Optimism
Full Day Trip on December 4, 2025 • 5 adultsFishing was very slow, with zero hits most of the day. We wanted to call it around 1 but the captain would not quit until my daughter caught something. Around 2:00 out day turned positive when we hooked into a blue marlin!
