    Full Day Trip – Big Game2 adults

    The boat and its crew were fantastic they were so helpful and knowledgeable they could mot do enough for our 3 man trip. They cover almost 85 miles in the day in search of big fish. but we dod see some amazing wildlife, dolphins in their hundreds, whales and turtles. I have the highest regard for the two guys in their pursuit of big fish for us and the hospitality they showed us. alas it was not meant to be that’s why this is called fishing and not catching good look in your future endeavours lads all the best Daz, Rob and Bert fron Sheffield , UK.

    Fantastic Fishing Trip!

    Half Day – Bottom Fishing/Jigging7 adults

    Captain Carlos and First Mate did a super job of taking care of my family of 7 on our half day fishing adventure. Captain found some fish shortly after leaving the harbor and continued to track with them. Caught some nice sized barracuda and one trigger fish. Everyone in the party was happy catching these fish. Boat was clean and very comfortable for all of us. Great time was had by all.

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda

    great experience what expected crew and boat were professional and fun didn't catch my target fish, blue marlin, but did catch a large big eye tuna no charters had caught any fish for several days, so I was a bit of a celebrity when getting back to port, that was kinda fun ended going on a different boat, larger, the Scorpion, which worked out very well highly recommend

    Amazing experience!

    Half Day Trip – Big Game3 adults1 child

    We had such an amazing experience with our 10 year old son. Luis and Guilherme were very motivated to catch his dreamfish… which we did! A 800lbs Blue Marlin just at the end of the trip when we thought we were going home empty handed. What a rush! The boat is a very comfortable size and the crew so fiendly, enthousiastic and motivated. Highly recommended!

    Reported catch:
    Blue Marlin

    This trip carried 3 generstions of men in our family. The seas were a wee choppy but the captain and his mate took care of us. There were snacks ans beverages, a comforable boat environment and alot of fun and laughs! We would do it all over again! We all caught barracuda and enjoyed it later that evening in a traditional Michalense style of cooking!

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
