Excellent experience. The crew were amazing and put us right on a school of marlin once we got far enough offshore. We also landed several skipjack tuna, which we tipped a guy on the dock $20 to process for us, then we walked down to Capt. Tony’s and had them prepare a family style meal with our catch prepared three ways. I highly recommend the full day trip as that allows you to get far enough out for the sport fish. I also recommend getting the box lunches. For $20 each person, we each had... More

Went fishing with Francisco and Omar on 9/11/25.  Had a fantastic time caught 5 fish. 3 Tuna, 1 Mahi Mahi and 1 Sailfin.  Omar worked very hard changing lures if one type didn’t work and baiting. When the fish hooked he was on hand to land it. The box lunch consisted of a sub sandwich, chips, burrito and apple. Beer and water were plentiful. On returning to port they set us up to send fish home and where to go to get some of our catch cooked for us. Everything was taken care of in a... More

Booked an 8 hour trip! Goal was to catch tuna, marlin or mahi! Captain and mate were great! Worked super hard for 2,5hours changing lures and ballyhoos working 6 lines to get us our fish. And it worked!!!! Caught a 10foot 90kg Blue Marlin!!!! The Fish was beautiful and put up an amazing fight for 15 min! It was breathtaking! After the catch we did not get a single hit and docked after 7,5 hours. Coming back to the dock was an unpleasant experience as we were swarmed by people asking for more money... More

We had a wonderful day fishing with El Budster pride. The captain and crew were great. We caught 7 tuna and thought we were done for the day but the captain never gave up. On our way back to the marina he spotted a Striped marlin and he turned the boat and headed that direction. We caught a beautiful 9.5 ft striped marlin!

The Captain Louis and mate Ismael are very experienced and work very hard to find you the fish you are looking for. We landed a very nice Sailfish and this was my second trip with this crew at El Budster charter. I have fished on both boats and they both work hard to get you fish. It is best that you do research on the best time of year to fish the species you want as it is fishing and nothing is ever guaranteed when it comes to fishing. Good luck, and tight... More
