We had a great trip aboard Papi Chulo with Captain Hansel and crew. Everyone in our group caught fish. First mate Daniel made superb ceviche (the best we’ve ever tasted!) from the catch and we still had plenty to take home for dinner. We’d definitely recommend this boat and crew!

It was the best fishing trip we have been on!  We cauggt and saw more than we had hooed for!  The entire crew went above and beyond!  5 stars!!

Amazing boat, highly skilled captain and crew, excellent experience! Best sport fishing I’ve done in terms of total experience. 100% recommend and will be coming back! Muchas gracias!
