    6 hour trip w, Steve and Adam

    3/4 Day Trip - Morning on July 21, 2023 • 6 adults • 2 children

    The day was great! What a great experience! Our family had never been on a deep sea fishing trip until today. We caught a good number of fish, most were tossed back and we ended up keeping only one mahi-mahi. The entire experience we were trolling and we caught several different kinds of fish doing so: mahi, tuna, jacks, and even a barracuda. The crew were great, both helping with keeping the lines always ready as well as educating the family on how to find fish, the types of fish, the bait, and even the birds. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Was a great time!

    Full day with Captain Steve

    Full Day on June 25, 2023 • 5 adults

    We started slow and then went through a massive squall. Captain Steve could have turned back, but he said there was better fishing ahead so we went through it fine. My nephew, wha has never trolled got the honor of bringing in the first strike. It was a beautiful sailfish. After that everyone got at least one turn to sit in the fighting chair. Most if our catches were too small, but it was still fun to reel them back in.

    3/4 Day Trip - Morning on September 6, 2023 • 2 adults

    Where do I start? This was our second trip and the first we caught a lot of yellow tail. We wanted to venture out and do more sport. Did NOT disappoint. Brought in 5 big Dauphin and caught plenty more. I mean there’s a bathroom and AC if it gets to be too hot. Good folks. Highly recommend.

    Full Day on June 21, 2023 • 5 adults

    The crew was awesome and very helpful. We looked all day for the big blue guy, but was it elusive! However, we still managed to get some nice Mahi Mahi on the boat. A couple got away and one cut the line, guess we can’t get them all😁

    Got off to a slow start, but wound up with a nice haul. Captain was kind enough to drop us at nearby restaurant he recommended to have the fish cooked up. Good time. Mackerel, Mutton and Yellowtail.

3/4 Day Trip - Morning on June 29, 2026 • 6 adults

Captain Jeff and DeckLead Jeff were awesome! Couldn’t have asked for a better crew. We caught a Tuna and about 40 yellow fin snappers. Great experience we’ll definitely be back. The boats a little long in the tooth, but the crew made up for it for sure. 👍
