The boat was immaculate and the captain and crew take excellent care of their equipment and guests. We trolled around for ~4hours, but got nothing. I wanted to ensure my kids all caught something so we went bottom fishing after the 4 hours was up. Ended up catching a bunch of trigger fish (15+). Kids had a good time. Would’ve given 5 stars for overall experience except we didn’t catch anything larger than a few pounds. However, I realize that “that’s fishing” and it is in no way meant to be a mark against the captain and crew.

Also, the lunch prepared was fantastic! I expected it to be either sandwiches or tacos, but it was not. There was a mix of ceviche and seared tuna and it was all delicious.

Day started to look good when I caught Amber Jack’s in less than an hour then the wind picked up and put a damper on the next 6 hours but we toughed it out and got a large needle fish and then that nice jack crevalle to end the day. A lot of hit and missed on the roads but over all I was pleased with my trip.

Great boat, great crew, great trip!  Breakfast and lunch were terrific.  We caught two mahi and a striped marlin, and the crew earned their tip bringing the marlin into the boat for a picture without hurting it or themselves.  The captain also brought us around to see lots of whales breaching all over the place.  There were 9 of us, and there was plenty of comfortable room on the boat.  Highly recommended.

The boat and the crew where great we had plenty to eat and drink the food was fabulous . The fishing was good we caught 2 striped marlin and had 2 more hooked but got off after a good fight. The only downside to the trip is that the fish we caught early in the morning we could not keep because there was no where on this boat to keep the fish on ice for the rest of the day to keep it from spoiling. So at the end of the day we came home with no fish to take home but the fishing experience was outstanding and well worth it to our group of 9

We didn’t catch anything but I had a great day on the water with Captain Palotta.  We fished hard, he worked hard but sometimes the fish just don’t cooperate. I fish a lot and I get it. Not the fanciest boat I’ve ever fished on but the equipment was decent and I would definitely go out again with Captain Pallota.
