It’s about the experience
5/5
I can’t say enough about David and Max. We may not have caught fish all day long but we caught fish. We had four hookups on Sailfish, 1 hookup on a Blue Marlin that was about to spoil the real before it spit it out. Not giving us a chance to fight, then landed a nice Yellowfin Tuna. It was a great outing and money well spent. I would highly recommend this crew. Their knowledge showed as we trolled through the slow times but found fish each time. Thank you David and Max!

We had an incredible time. Javier and his first mate are excellent! I have fished my entire life and this was #1 Best Day Ever! 2 Blue Marlin (200lb and 350lb) and a trophy Mahi Mahi (40+lbs). Would go again in a heartbeat. I give them my highest recommendation possible! Enjoy!!!
