    Beautiful day and hard working crew!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) • 2 adults

    A gorgeous day and a great boat…..along with a hard working crew made for a great experience! We caught several small tuna right away, which was fun, then they were promptly turned into bait for some big fish. And dang, We missed a couple big ones; however, we did catch a bunch of small fish on the reef, which made it a lot of fun as well. Erika was a great communicator, and captain and two crew members worked hard to try and put us on fish all day long even if we only got a few. It was still a fun great experience with good friends and a few cervazas; I highly recommend for easy and fun trip for family or experienced fisherman. Erika even made it easy for me to pick up my rod which I accidentally left on the boat. The first mate made a special trip just for me the next say and I was extremely grateful. Thanks for a great day on the water.

    Fish weren’t biting but still a beautiful day on the water.

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 6 adults

    The crew did a wonderful job trying to put us on some fish but it just wasn’t meant to be. The food and service were great. However, I booked this trip with the explicit goal of fishing for rooster fish, which the captain was made aware of at the time of booking. We were informed by the boat staff that a large boat, using lures rather than live bait and the waters which we were cruising, were all wrong for rooster fishing. It was a slight disappointment but the trip was still a good day.

    Change of plans/boat but great fishing!

    3/4 Day Trip – Offshore • 4 adults

    We initially booked with Flamingo Sportfishing, but the boat had an engine issue and we had to shift to another boat at the last minute. Thankfully, the boat and crew, Capt. Simon and Leo were great! We caught a bunch of fish including some huge yellowfin tuna. Overall, it was a great trip!

    Reported catch:
    Yellowfin Tuna

    Full Day Trip - Offshore • 3 adults

    I did a couple trips with Flamingo Sportfishing. Everyone was very friendly and worked hard to get us on the fish. Easy to coordinate with. We had a great time out on the water.
