    Full day Fishing and swimming trip with Capt. Mako

    8 Hour Trip – Just A Day Out on January 17, 2025

    It was one of the best fishing experiences I have been on to in the Red Sea, we did some jigging and popping as well as some trolling on our way back. We also went to a beautiful area for swimming and the water was a beautiful crystal clear turquoise color. Overall my experience was a 10/10 would deff recommend to all my friends and family. The hospitality was amazing, the boat was clean with top notch safety and equipment. Worth every penny I paid. The captain was very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate. This will not be my last time for sure.
