    Great trip!

    The captain and mate were awesome! We didn't have many fish on, but it wasn't due to lack of trying. My wife was able to land a Mahi Mahi, a dream of hers. I had a blue marlin on for quite some time before the line broke. Still awesome crew and wonderful experience!

    A Dream came true - My First Blue Marlin

    Today, a little dream came true - a blue marlin. The captain and his son are incredibly friendly, and the whole trip was simply amazing. The experience was made even better by the sight of a large sperm whale and some dolphins. I can highly recommend this incredible experience and the Maranatha team to anyone. Thank you very much.

    Unbelievable fishing experience

    Regis and Mencho were absolutely amazing, great fishing guides and super friendly. They’re true professionals, the way they put us on fish, but more impressively how they landed the fish. We were interested in catching bill fish and they put on two big blue marlins and one big mahi mahi. While reeling the second marlin, Mencho prepared ceviche from our fresh mahi mahi, and turned out to be the best ceviche we had ever had. We highly reccommend you book a tour with Regis and Mencho.

Blue Marlin are the stars of big-game sportfishing. These fast, powerful Billfish are famous for blistering runs and dramatic jumps. Anglers target them for the challenge, the teamwork, and the chance to release a true ocean giant. Blue Marlin fishing is about skill, patience, and an unforgettable fight.

Most trips focus on offshore bluewater fishing. Captains often troll artificial lures or rigged baits at varied speeds and depths. Teasers raise fish close to the spread, then a bait or lure seals the deal. Heavy tackle is standard, and many crews use circle hooks to help safe releases. Fly fishing is possible with specialized gear when conditions allow.

Expect an early start, a run to deep structure or current edges, and long watches as you cover water. When a Marlin strikes, the action is fast and intense. Fights can last minutes or hours, so a fighting chair or stand-up harness helps. This trip suits anglers who enjoy adventure and teamwork. Bring sun protection, a hat, polarized sunglasses, boat-safe footwear, snacks, and a camera. If you get seasick, consider motion-sickness remedies before departure.

Rules for Billfish vary by location. Always check local fishing license and permit needs before booking. Review current season status, release guidelines, and harvest rules with your captain. Many crews practice catch and release to support healthy Marlin fisheries. Your captain will explain best practices on board.
