We wanted to catch fish to eat. Johnny and Joseph had us on fish with the first line down once we got to their first spot. Mission accomplished!

The boat is modest but that is exactly what we chose and expected. We prefer to be able to touch the water and their style of boat allows for that. The rods and reels were top notch and worked smoothly.

The crew, Johnny and Joseph, were expert at their craft. The wind and waves kicked up some while we were out and they handled the conditions expertly, all while fishing at the same time.

We caught plenty of snapper and grouper to feed our families within the first hour of our half-day trip. We then switched to trolling for trophy fish. Even though that approach didn’t produce fish it was great to have time to try.

I appreciated the care both Johnny and Joseph showed for the fish we caught but weren’t keepers. They took the time to make sure each fish released was able to swim away under its own power.

I recommend Maryola Tours. I will definitely book another trip with them!

We had an amazing time and we caught fish! The boat in good condition, had food, drinks, and a good time. We went out early for the tuna bite, and we caught several yellowfins and skipjacks on spin reels. Then we went for snapper and caught four on a jigging setup. Then caught a bull shark because my son asked to catch a shark, I thought they were kidding when they said yes, but that made his day!. We finished with trolling for mahi, but they weren’t biting that day. When we got off the boat we had plenty of fish for lunches and dinner for a few days. I will be looking them up again when we go back.

Went out with Daniel and Johnny on 2/7/26. Daniel wanted to leave an hour early, which I like. we were out on the fishing grounds way before everyone else. Started off with Skipjacks, trying to pick yellowfin out of the schools. Ended up with one Yellowfin. My buddy asked to catch bigger fish, immediately hooked into a nice Sail. Did some jigging for red snapper, then went for Cabrera. Hooked into a massive Bull Shark while fishing the bottom for Cabrera, we wanted bigger fish and got it.
Daniel put us on the fish and Johnny is uncanny at hooking up. Pura Vida!

Iwas offered an earlier time than the original but I believe fate had it that way. Not even 3 mins into our trip, including ride time, I was hooked into beautiful sailfish. Then not too long after I reeled i a nice yellow fin tuna, my dinner that night. These guys made this trip extra special and memorable. I’d highly recommend them if you’re looking for a great day fishing!

We were a family of four adults who went out with Captain Daniel and Jose for a 3/4 day fishing trip.  We were warned in advance the the wind conditions were going to be an issue.  It was.  We could only troll and only in a fairly limited range that offered a little shelter from the wind.  Even under complicated conditions, we had a “fish on” every 15 minutes or so.  It was a good day for us, but a harder than normal day for Captain Daniel and Jose.  Given the limiting conditions, they did a great job keeping us in the boat and catching fish. My family came back soaking wet, loaded with great memories, and ready to go back again - even if it’s windy.
