Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard the pura vida ship.

The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day
For a four hour fishing tour, a four hour fishing tour.

It was a Great trip, from start to finish.  Capt. Greg was very nice and great comms from the start. He answered my questions promptly and tailored the trip to our needs. First mate was also on point very helpful, friendly, and patient with our less experienced members, plus Capt Greg put us right on the fish, the first mate had one hooked in less then 10 secs no joke during his quick demo.  And it really never stopped from there.  We limited out for the day and caught some cool fish. To round it out got to chat it up with Pops and crew a bit on cooking ideas back at the dock then home for a wonder fresh fish dinner.  Thank you Pura Vida will be back for sure

We met Captian Greg and Firstmate Ali at 7:00 am and they were ready from the word go! I had called the Captain prior and let him know we were mainly after Amberjack and a few fish for eating. He gave a little chuckle and said “then we will get everyone’s arms sore and then go for some eaters!” When we hit the fishing grounds they had us on the amberjack almost instantly! We ended up with 10, one being a mule! < everyone's arms were sore>

Went on to fish for some eaters and they were biting very well too. We got another small amberjack some porgie, grouper, grey snapper, lane snapper, lizardfish and few squirrelfish. An unforgettable day on the water with 50+ fish! It would probably be alright to call him Dr. Greg, cause he’s got a Phd in fisholigy!!!!! 3rd generation Captain that knows his stuff. We would recommend him to anyone!!!! Thanks again from MN!

Booked a last minute 4 hr trip for 3 adults and three kids ages 9-13. Captain Greg and his deckhand Ali gave us a terrific trip. Everyone caught at least half a dozen fish. Some caught over a dozen. Gray snappers, hogfish, grouper, trigger fish, sea bass.  Even a toadfish (what?!). We all had a blast. Very clean boat, captain and crew were very welcoming, professional, and good with the kids. If your in Madeira beach looking for a fun time on the water, definitely give Captain Greg a call.
