Wild ride! Fantastic service
4Hours Fishing Trip (AM) on January 18, 202612 adults
Before we departed the Captain let us know that there were large swells, and the trip could be rough. He offered to take us back to our resort and not charge us for the excursion. We decided to go, and we soon learned of his honesty. it was rough and a few of us were not enjoying the morning. Without hesitation he returned to the marina to drop off a few of our group. He took the balance of us out to finish our tour. We caught some Dorado and all had a good time. We would recommend this to anyone.

8Hours Fishing Trip on January 2, 20261 adult
started the day off greeted bybthe crew, the lads where great talk me through everything. i ask about shark fishing and before i new it we was at the point dropping a bait. it didnt tale long before the first hit, which we succeeded on landing. (my first bull shark) around 80lb. what a fight, ive caught some fish in my time but for a juvenile bull shark it put up one hell of a fight. we went on yo catch another but before that we lost one, i can only explain it to being attached to a train, it just run. finished the day off trawling but had no luck. overall it was a fantastic trip, the crew couldnt do enought for me. thank uou bery much. a trip i definitely wont forget.

Everything was great
6Hours Fishing Trip on January 24, 20262 adults
Everything was great. The crew was very well prepared, motivated, and fun to be with. The trip itself was excellent and well organized. Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal — it was windy with big waves. Despite that, we still managed to catch one small mahi-mahi and a slightly bigger barracuda. Overall, a great experience and a professional team. Highly recommended

AMAZING CREW
6Hours Fishing Trip on March 30, 202512 adults
LET ME TELL YOU A SHORT STORY ABOUT THIS CREW including, Tito,and Elias. We are down here for spring break and I'm bringing a few of my sons friend and fathers, deep-sea fishing for the very first time. Unfortunately, the seas were not favorable and we had probably 6 to 8 foot seas. Been the first hour I had four men throwing up overboard. At that point, I said to the captain, wrap it up and bring them in, I don't want them ruining their vacation over a fishing trip. Without hesitation, he brought them back into port. And I resumed Fishing by myself for the rest of the day. They were very helpful while the kids were getting sick. And very accommodating to get them back to the dock and bring me back out to the sea. We caught three mahi-mahi, one barracuda, and lost one monster Wahoo. The captain was extremely knowledgeable of the seas. By following the grass line, chasing the birds around and was diligent by getting me to where the fish were. The meats were very helpful and clearing the seaweed off of the lines. Even though I typically give them a hand with my fishing knowledge. Without reservation, I highly recommend this amazing staff.
