4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM)
Great trip for beginners and more leisurely minded fishers
Easy and fun activity with virtually guaranteed catch. Helpful crew under captain Miguel’s supervision. The four hour trip allowed for 2.5 hours of fishing which was adequate to get a feel for this type of fishing and catch numerous fish of different species. Predominantly smaller sizes. Very easy technique and no requirements on previous experience. Please note that you are expected to manage the baiting by yourself, which means fingering pieces of shrimp and squid. If you have four hours to spare try this out!

Special 6 hour trip for Mathieu Jonz
Great trip, better experience!
Captains Miguel & Nelson will put you on the fish! We booked a shorter offshore trip due to time restrictions but our captain was up for the challenge. We had no trouble finding the boat, we launched right on time, and they even stayed out late to ensure we got a fish on the line. My wife got seasick early on and they were more than accommodating - constantly checking if she needed anything and even slowed the boat down to make sure she was comfortable. We hooked into a massive bluefin tuna and I had a blast fighting the fish. They made sure I was comfortable with fighting the fish, and gave plenty of instruction along the way. They even made time to show us schools of dolphins along the way. 100/10 experience, can’t wait to come back and do it again! If you’re looking for an experienced charter who will put you on the fish, look no further than the beautiful Donzela and her crew.
