Half Day Trip (AM)
Amazing Experience
I would 100% recommend Captain JP and his crew. Everyone was very friendly, the boat was in great condition and comfortable. They managed to hook my first Marlin after 3 hours of trawling! I will always remember that huge bang as it took the lure and sped down with the reel screaming! What an experience. Thank you. I’ll definitely be back.
