Blue Marlin
Full Day Trip – Big Game Jul-Sep on October 1, 2026 • 2 adults

The captain, Pedro, was great and was very concerned about the weather. It was very rough on our scheduled day and moved us a few days later. Captain Pedro spoke very good English, which made it easier for us. We caught and released a 500lb Blue marlin, and both the captain and the mate helped tremendously to land the fish. I highly recommend this boat.

Very personable and accommodating crew!
Half Day – Big Game Oct – Jun on June 1, 2026 • 4 adults

Myself and three friends fished with Pedro and his mate yesterday. They were outstanding. They communicated very well and gave us instruction that we could understand. None of us had fished for big ocean fish before. We got that full experience on this trip. We hooked into two big tuna about an hour into the trip. We would definitely fish with Pedro and his mate again!

Response from Captain

Thanks so much for the awesome review! We're super stoked that you and your friends had such a blast with me and my mate. Catching two big tuna on your first deep-sea fishing trip is a huge win! I'm really happy making sure our guests feel comfy and guided all the way. We can't wait to have you all back on board for your next big adventure!
