    An Unforgettable Day! Caught a Huge Marlin – Whole Family Thrilled!

    Full Day all inclusive on December 25, 2025 • 4 adults

    Today was incredibly lucky – we caught a massive marlin that took nearly an hour to reel in! The captain and crew were extremely professional, experienced, and worked together perfectly. The whole family had an absolute blast; the kids were screaming with excitement the entire time. The boat was spotlessly clean – deck and bathroom included. Throughout the trip, we enjoyed cold drinks, beer, fresh fruit, coffee, snacks, and even freshly sliced sashimi. The service was so thoughtful! As a bonus, we saw humpback whales breaching, dolphins swimming alongside the boat, seals popping up, and stunning ocean views all around. Highly recommend this boat and crew – we’ll definitely be back! Perfect day on the water! 🐟🐳🌊

    Full Day all inclusive on September 9, 2026 • 3 adults

    A blue and a striped marlin . Three tuna and a bonito. One tuna became boat sashimi and last nights dinner. The rest went to a well deserving crew. No marlin were harmed and all returned to the deep blue. We also successfully landed a double tuna hook up. Highlight for me. It is not often that one gets to reel a marlin and then have the privilege to walk over and personally release it. Truly a great day with good friends with a talented crew on a world class boat.
