    10 Hour Trip - Big Game on March 18, 2026 • 1 adult

    High energy Captain and mate that worked constantly for 10 hrs to make a great day. I like music and we kept it cranking while cranking in fish. At one point trolling we had five fish on at one time. Amazing day. Thanks

    What dreams are made of!

    10 Hour Trip - Big Game on July 6, 2024 • 5 adults

    My 75 year-old father has talked about catching a marlin for decades. I did some research and chose July for our trip as it was the beginning of marlin season. I reached out to the Viking crew and told them marlin was what we were after… and they made our dream a reality! I honestly thought it was a long shot, but somehow they made it happen! We caught a gorgeous striped marlin (over 130 lbs) and were ecstatic… but the day wasn’t over. Our crew heard another boat caught a tuna nearby, so they raced over there, threw out our lines and we got a hit right away! Also reeled in a tuna over 60 lbs. We also caught some “yellowtail” that weren’t good for eating so we released them. It was an absolutely fantastic day that my whole family will never forget. These guys are the real deal. They know where to find the fish and you can tell they are extremely experienced. They knew what we had caught before we even reeled them to the surface based on how they acted on the line. Cannot recommend this charter enough. We will definitely be back!

    Fantastic Day and New Friends!!

    6 Hour Trip - Fishing & Snorkeling on July 1, 2024 • 2 adults

    I have booked through the app on several trips. Every time we have fished we have had a good time. Yesterday was no different. Carlos and Samuel were fantastic! By end of the day they were not just our fishing guides but we made new friends. I caught a Rooster Fish( not large but has been on my bucket list for a long time). Landed six Jack Carvelle - my arms are worn out! Then landed the Black Drum as we were headed in. We shared our fresh fish prepared by a local restaurant. Beautiful Day! Excellent service, on time, and friendly!!! Definitely recommend these guys.

    A Great day on the water. Got two Dorado in the first hours. Lots of good fun with the crew. They put us on fish and that was important. We would have liked to limit but that’s the way it goes. Thanks for a memorable fishing trip.

    What a great experience!!

    4 Hour Trip - Small Game Fishing on January 6, 2025 • 3 adults

    It was a very complete trip, we caught 10 different varieties of fish, we saw whales, dolphins and the most important thing is that Captain Manuel and his assistant were excellent, they guided us, helped us and supported us during the fishing. They prepared a delicious hashimi with one of our fish, we will definitely hire them again.

    Bonitos Aplenty

    6 Hour Trip - Fishing & Snorkeling on February 19, 2024 • 3 adults

    Three of us went out with Omar and Fernando and fished near Islas Marietas on a six hour trip. We filled the fish box with almost exclusively bonitos after only fishing for about four hours so we headed back in to clean all the fish. The crew was at the marina on-time, was friendly and fun and all the equipment functioned reliably. We would like to have caught other fish species but the bonito were the ones biting. It was a very enjoyable trip.
