    Great fishing trip in the end!

    3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on November 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    My husband and I went on this fishing trip for our honeymoon and had a pretty decent time! In the beginning, Marcus and his first mate were able to easily catch black tuna bait, but the unfortunate part was the weather. It was quite lovely for us—overcast and then started raining pretty decently midway through. However, this weather was awful for fishing. We spent 7 hours boating around with only one bite, and we didn't even get to pull it up because it fell off the hook. This has nothing to do with the crew or the gear. I just recommend not booking a fishing trip super far in advance when the weather can easily change. We are from out of the country and had no idea what to expect. Marcus didn't give up on us and made up the wasted hours for us by letting us fish 2 and 1/2 hours longer until we both caught something. My husband caught a red snapper and a large jackfish, and then I was able to catch two sharks! This was absolutely incredible. I wish we had a little bit more action, but they made up for it in the end.

    Best fishing trips.

    3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on January 24, 2026 • 2 adults

    I have fished at different locations around the world, and I can certainly say these were the best two trips I've had. Species caught included yellow fin tuna,barracuda,sailfish,mahi-mahi,(big bull),rock snapper,cubera snapper(very big). All in all,these were two very memorable experiences. Captain Marco and crew were great and worked together professionally. Food on board was delicious,(cevise prepared with caught fish,(snapper and cubera). I would certainly recommend going fishing with Costa Catch to fellow anglers! Paul Ellis, visiting from the Netherlands.

    Fabulous fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip – Offshore (AM) on September 24, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had the fishing trip of a life time with the Captain and his first mate. It started slow, but he knew exactly where to go and the techniques to use. He put us on fish and we caught them when we saw them. The price was so reasonable for an incredible day of fishing. We are grateful we got to spend the day on the water with this crew!

    Half Day Trip - Offfshore (Pm) on December 13, 2025 • 2 adults

    went out for an afternoon deep sea trip to catch some marlin and it did not disappoint! we caught two 400 lb marlin and two mahi mahi in about 4 hours of fishing. during the breaks in the action we got fresh fruit, fresh coconut water, and even got to eat some mahi we caught. definitely take a trip with costa catch! (also if you want to buy a shirt or hat ask ahead of time)

    First fishing trip for my son and it was PERFECT!

    Half Day Trip - Offfshore (Pm) on March 23, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    We were very happy with this experience! They did their homework to find the best spot and we caught two huge tunas! It was my son's first time and it has been a dream of his and it was perfect. They even served us fresh sashimi from the fish we caught, and were so helpful when he was reeling it in. Couldn't recommend it more! Thank you!

    Great day with Captain Marco and crew. Caught a couple of really nice fish and had alot of fun. You can see he has been doing this a long time and knows where to try for the species you want. The boat is well equipped and he has good gear, will definately fish with him again if I have the chance.

    Captain Marco and his nephew Nelson were great! I fish a lot of charters NE US. Marco put us on the fish immediately. Other boats came up empty, but we had nonstop action and pleasant company. I will return and fish with Marco again.
