    20 years waiting to catch a sailfish. Mission accomplished

    6 Hour Trip on October 31, 2026 • 2 adults

    First off, can't stress enough how amazing captain Chris and AJ were on our trip. Called the captain the night before to check if there was any last minute things we needed to go over. Because we were trying to catch a sailfish (which I have tried in the past) I offered that I would pay for live bait (goggleeyes) (to those who don't know these baitfish are extremely expensive...10 bucks a fish) but its the go to bait for sailfish. Boat arrives promptly at 630am. And we are off. Both captain and crew were in great spirits and we set off for the start of our 6 hour trip. Took about a 30 min ride to the grounds. Didn't wait longer then 30 mins before first hit. A beautiful kingfish that leapt clear outta the water. That was quickly followed by some nice size Mahi and a stud black tuna. Finished the day with 2 sailfish (one around the 50-60# mark. Still psyched about that) Overall I couldn't be happier with how our trip went. If you want an amazing trip with even better people...BOOK THIS BOAT!!!

    Best fishing experience

    4 Hour Trip on August 19, 2026 • 3 adults

    Both Chris & Kevin were excellent hosts with a wealth of knowledge & experience. The fish were not biting but they kept trying different techniques to help us catch, not a massive haul, yellow tail salmon, amber jack & finished on a high with a 12ft shark. Would definitely book these guys again 5 out of 5

    What a great day! Captain Chris and First Mate Kevin were excellent guides. They knew the area and were great at explaining how the trip would go. The boat was well equipped and comfortable. I caught 3 sailfish thanks to them pulling out all the stops. If you're looking to have a great deep sea experience, these are your guys. Again, thanks for an amazing day!
