Bob Marlin - Offshore full day.
Take the trip!
My 2nd time deep sea fishing but an experience like no other. When we caught a yellow fin tuna and mackerel, I thought it was a great day! Then came the mahi mahi and to finish it off, a 88” sailfish! Not to mention seeing dolphins jumping and even a whale breaching from the distance. The crew filleted our fish and put them in ziploc bags for us to take home. We had a tasting of sashimi as well while on board. What more could we ask for it was the ideal day on the water. We felt so fortunate. Tim and his crew were so hospitable and helpful in every way possible. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to go deep sea fishing! You won’t regret it
