Black Snapper II 

My wife, son, and I went offshore for the first time yesterday on the Black Snapper 2, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. We caught Mahi Mahi that we’re bringing home to grill and had a blast catching multiple Sailfish throughout the trip. For a first offshore trip, it couldn’t have gone better. Captain Julian and first mate Angel were outstanding. They worked hard the entire trip to make sure we were comfortable, having fun, and always in the action. From helping with lines to making sure we had everything we needed, they were professional, friendly, and clearly know what they’re doing. The boat was well stocked with plenty of food, snacks, and beverages, which made the day even more enjoyable. The booking process was also very smooth. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which made planning simple. Getting our fishing license the day of the trip was quick and easy as well. Parking at the marina was free, easy, and secure, so we didn’t have to think twice about leaving the car there. My only regret is that we only had time for one trip this visit. Next time we’re back, we’ll definitely be booking another trip with them. Highly recommend Black Snapper 2 if you’re looking for a great offshore fishing experience.

My wife and I wanted to do a day of near shore fishing targeting snapper/jacks/rooster or whatever. we soent a good hour and a half looking for live bait with no luck before switching to trolling up and down the beach and in front of a river mouth for anither hour or so with no luck. Not wanting to get skunked, we shifted gears and went a little deeper to troll for billfish/mahi. they did finally get us on a sailfish that put on a good show. We were a little disappointed in the lack of action early in but that is fishing sometimes. Captain Eric and his mate Snacker made the day a fun one anyway with good food and cold drinks. they even stayed out about an hour extra trying everything they could to get more fish in the boat. I wouldn't shy away from booking with these guys again.

My son and I had an amazing morning fishing. Started catching Mahi Mahi right away and pulled in a good sized tuna almost right away too. We caught over a dozen fish altogether- highlight of the day was my son catching a huge sailfish- a lot of great jumps! Well worth it- great crew and small but comfortable boat.

The captain and first mate delivered top notch service from the time we left until we returned. a great size boat for our four party group. They were very accommodating and even supplied food and drinks for the trip. 5 out of 5 stars, I would book with them again.

Eric and Nekar were an exceptional Captain and First Mate. They were knowledgeable, friendly and accomodating. Our first booking got cancelled and they scheduled our trip in less than 24hours. Our family of 5 adults all caught several fish. Mahi mahi, Sailfish, and my husband was even able to reel in a big Snapper! It was the catch of the day and was delicious for our dinner.

Booked the 8 hr offshore day with Pez Loco for 6 grown men. Started off the morning looking for some sailfish which we successfully caught 4. then proceeded on to try and catch some tuna as the schools were working in the area. unfortunately could not get any. The captain and crew were great, the group I was with are avid fisherman and the Captin was letting us do alot of what we wanted, including letting me in the water to get better images and videos The food was also great, had breakfast burritos, chips, sandwiches for lunch and plenty of drinks. The gear was good and the whole trip was a blast. the Marina and area was super nice as well. I would reccomend this team of boats to anyone.

My son and i had an amazing trip out. Captain and 1st mate were top notch. Would definitely recommend these guys. Can’t wait until next time!

Crew were great. Fishing was excellent. Caught plenty to eat. Great ceviche on the boat. First mate and captain were great!!

Captain informed me he wasn’t available but someone else would take us - that should have been the first red flag. Two young guys took us - seemed to be the “captains” first time running the boat but both were capable mates. They struggled to get live bait for a while - ended up with maybe 6 sardines. Then we headed about 8-10 miles out… straight towards a huge thunderstorm and (I’m not exaggerating) a tornado/waterspout about a mile away. I asked if the storm was coming towards us or going away - captain said he didn’t know. We made it to the gps mark in time to catch one bonito before having to turn around and motor 30min+ back in the other direction to avoid the storm. And that was it. We spent the rest of the time motoring from point to point not catching a thing. Eventually we just let the kids swim in a cove for a while. The guys were nice and did their best but the ride was rough, only caught one fish that was immediately wasted as bait. Maybe better with the real captain, but we had chicken for dinner.

While we booked the Black Snapper 2 for our trip we were notified that it was being repaired. Too our surprise we were upgraded to a 43 ft Viking at NO EXTRA COST!!! Not necessary but appreciated. This company will take care of you. We caught 2 yellow fin tuna, bonita and almost a Dorado. It shook the hook right at the boat. Oh, well still a great trip.
