3/4 Day Trip highly recommended

Had a great time with Wazapap…good music, and plenty of beer included. David and his mate were awesome. We had several big fish on the line. Unfortunately, our lines broke before we had the chance to reel. 2 blue marlins hit simultaneously and gave us a show, also a couple large tuna. Heard they landed a 500+ pound blue marlin the next day. Was able to land a barracuda and a couple jacks, which they allowed us to take for a restaurant to prepare. Great eating. Thanks David!

There should be an option for 6 stars! David and his deckhand were awesome! We asked them to pick us up from the Sandals Resort and they were their waiting for us right on time. We were welcomed aboard his very nice boat and offered refreshments, and a place to sit as we took about a 45 minute trip south of the island. I wanted to catch yellowfin tuna, and he took us straight to them. We caught 3 in less than an hour. One was over 3 feet long! His deck hand was experienced and helped the entire... More

Very competent and experienced Captain and Assistant. They know exactly what to do and where to go. We had a nice Waho near the coast. Also a smaller yellow fin tuna for tasty sashimi. They are super kind and funny and relaxed- we had a lot of fun together. The ship is really big and there is a lot of space and comfort and the equipment is perfect. I will book again when I come back.
