Awesome trip
8 Hour Trip on November 13, 2025 • 1 adult
Captain James and first mate Darren were awesome! I had eaters and a bill fish on my bucket list. We caught 7 mahi and a few other non-eaters to start the trip out. Best in fleet that day! We went for bill fish in the afternoon, and we hooked into one that gave me an absolute thrill for about 10 mins with multiple jumps. Unfortunately, they are sneaky fish and he got unbuttoned. Captain also hooked into one that also unhooked himself. Both captain James and first mate Darren were very determined, hardworking and even extended our trip (free of charge) by two hours to try and fulfill my bucket list bill fish, but to no avail. A bill fish will have to wait for my next trip. I highly recommend captain James and first mate Darren.

Great Crew, Great Experience
6 Hour Trip on October 15, 2025 • 2 adults
My buddy and i had a great fishing trip on the Eva Marie! Captain James Willis and First Mate Darren were fantastic! They cater to both seasoned fishers and beginners. We fell somewhere in the middle and couldn’t ask for a better time. Yes! We caught fish, including some tuna and Mahi. If you’re interested in a fishing experience where the crew care as much, if not more that you catch fish then check them out. You will not be disappointed

6-hour trip
6 Hour Trip on March 26, 2025 • 2 adults
It was a beautiful day. We had some bites top water trolling early in the day. We heard over the radio 20 boats with no fish in the boat trolling. Switched to 20-30 ft deep on down riggers with no luck over the reef around hour four. Then we fished for yellow tail. I caught a mackerel and as it came into view a barracuda latched on and ripped it in half. We used the mackerel as bait to keep the barracuda in view. The crew did all they could to get it in the boat but the pelicans were swarming the bait fish as we tried to lure the barracuda. My son and I had a great experience and a story to tell. Maybe next time I will get that trophy.
