These waters are known for Great Barracuda, Bonito, Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, African Pompano Jack, Jack Crevalle, Roosterfish, Sailfish, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!" On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish.
You can keep any fish you catch, so long as regulations allow it. Capt. Juan Carlos can even clean your catch for you. How's that for fresh seafood?
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea for a boost of energy when needed!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 31' fishing boat with room for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. 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.
A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), 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, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks available on board.

Captain Mendez was amazing! It was a slow fishing day, and we only got 3 bites and only caught 1 mahi mahi. However, captain mendez and his crew really did their best to give us the best chance possible, including setting out 7 lines and staying an extra hour at sea to try to get us a 2nd fish. He made us ceviche with the mahi mahi and set up a spot for us to get our mahi mahi cooked when we got to shore. It was my first time deep sea fishing and captain Mendez and his crew made it a great experience! Would highly recommend him to anyone else and am looking to book another charter with him again!
Captain Juan and his second were awesome. Friendly and knowledgeable. Other boats followed us because of his local knowledge. We caught enough fish to grill for 10 that night and leftovers for the night after. And Juan had fish to take home too. Fishing novice with us caught double fish on a single line twice. Great time. Highly recommend.
Hi Cris, thank goodness we'll have a great time here. We hope to see you soon and thanks for the review.
Great fishing trip! The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and everything was well organized. We caught several fish and had a lot of fun on the water. Beautiful scenery and a relaxing day overall. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys fishing. 🎣 Pura Vida 🤙
Booked a half day, was on a BIG black Marlin within 20 minutes of lines in the water. fought him for almost two hours! Glad I was with friends so we could tag team it!!!! After that, on the way home, we connected with a nice mahi that we are having for dinner tonight!!
We had a great time fishing with captain Mendez. We caught 5 mahi mahi! The crew members were very nice. We ate the fish we fished. Nothing but compliment to say about our day!! Thank you ☺️
