Captain Ariel contacted us the day before our trip to ask what we are looking to catch. He gave us his assessment and had several recommendations of where we could go with the best chance of finding fish. Well, we took one of his recommendations and caught more fish than we ever expected. I live in Alaska and fish in the ocean throughout the summer and have many friends who are charter operators/guides. I would put Captain Ariel among the best of them for working his tail off to try to keep... More

I highly recommend this trip for anyone…from a novice to an experienced fisherman. Boat was very clean, crew was excellent & friendly. There was a variety of equipment on the boat. We caught plenty of fish with breathtaking scenery. Added bonus seeing dolphins & turtles & to top it all off FRESH & tasty ceviche entree was prepared by our Captain. I highly recommend Calypso!

Eric and Sammy were awesome. Put us on fish almost immediately!! We ended up with 13 fish overall. We had a much better experience than in years past with previous guides. They did everything they could to put us on big fish. Sammy made some of the best ceviche from fresh caught Spanish mackerel that I’ve ever had. Ariel communicated via text or email everyday prior to our trip. We’ve chartered several other fishing trips in the past at PV, and hands down this was the best. 10 of 10. Would... More

We had Alex and Samual and these guys treated you like family. It was like fishing with extended family members. I have been fishing down here before and it was nothing like fishing with this team. The boat was clean, the equipment was good and the crew was knowledgeable. I will be booking with them again when we return.
