Top notch service and well organized
Half Day Trip on July 14, 20261 adult1 child

I booked a 4 hr trip for my 12 year old son (his first charter fishing trip) and I. About an hour into the trip we started to get some action and bites but unfortunately my son was getting really sea sick. I asked the crew if we could go back which we did, fishing for another 45 mins on the way back in. Got a nce Dorado hookup but didn't get it to the boat on the way back. Fairly sure we would have caught fish had we stayed out the full 4 hrs. Once back, to my surprise and beyond my expectation, they refunded me a material amount of cash for unused fuel on the shortened trip. Also, transfers were on time in nice clean vehicles with AC and friendly drivers. Top Notch!

Great family day out
Half Day Trip on June 5, 20264 adults

My wife and I , my son and his girlfriend had a great half day out. My son was the only fisherman but we all got involved. we caught 7 fish , 3 Barracudas and 4 Mahi Mahi. The crew helped us all catch. The day was excellent from the pick up at the hotel , the transfer to the boat and the return to the hotel. we took 2 of the fish back to the hotel for a friend of our's. He was extremely happy. Thanks to everybody involved. i can well recommend Big Mahlin.

Great Boat, Great Captain and Mate!
6hrs. Offshore Fishing Charter on January 8, 20262 adults

We are seasoned fishermen in the NJ area and that did NOT prepare us for the 8ft rollers we experienced while we were out there! Unfortunately we both ended up getting crazy seasick (we never get sick and were pretty embarassed) and that affected our trip. However, in the meantime we caught 5 barracuda (can't eat them, kind of a waste), and the Captain (Kelby) and First Mate (Etto) were great. I will say that I didn't expect that all we would do is troll - there wasn't any jigging or casting, it was just trolling back and forth the entire time, but the weather was nice and I don't know if we would have pushed to do more if we weren't feeling so sick.
