    Get Nauti!

    3/4 Day offshore Fishing Trip • 9 adults

    Our group of 9 had a GREAT time aboard Nauti Ventures! The weather was beautiful and we were all able to make several catches - specifically Mahi Mahi and Sail Fish. I admittedly stopped counting, but we had to have caught at least 25 fish. The captain and his firstmates were friendly, professional, and got straight to business; they worked hard to make sure we had a great time. We enjoyed the drinks, fruit, and lunch they offered - the boat was in good condition too. Catching Tuna would have made this a perfect day, but we can’t always get what we want LOL. THANK YOU!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Sailfish

    Fishing with Cr

    Full Day Offshore Fishing Trip • 10 adults

    The boat is well equipped and has several areas to hang out while waiting for the fish to arrive. I can’t say enough about the Captain and Crew. They were friendly and helpful, but most of all they made the day special for everyone. As a blind person I was worried that I wouldn’t be given the same experiences as the other people in the group. The team helped me by having me feel everything so I would know what to expect, and when the fish was on the line they let me bring it in the same as the others. I felt included and so excited when that fish finally was landed. This was a family event for us and it was the highlight of our trip! Everyone talked about it for the rest of our time together and it will be a wonderful memory for us going forward. Thank you for this great experience!

    Great crew, would fish with them again.

    Full Day Offshore Fishing Trip • 2 adults

    We had an awesome experience with Nauti and the crew. Communication ahead of time was great, and Captain Arturo and Aaron were great. We caught several tuna and sailfish - both firsts. The boat is not fancy but everything met our expectatations - but if you want to catch fish with great guys this is the boat.

    Comfortable and hard working

    3/4 Day offshore Fishing Trip • 4 adults

    Flybridge lounge seat makes for a comfortable ride to and from the hotspot. 3 course meal with plates of fresh fruit, chips and dip, and sandwiches served on 3/4 day trip. Hardworking and extremely friendly captain and crew. We didn’t have great luck with targeted species. Caught a nice Mahi.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    Capitan Chompy and his crew were excellent and put us on the fish. Are party of 4 ended up landing 11 sails and lost one near the boat on a full day trip. We had several othrs come up in the spread that didnt hook up. Crew worked extremely hard all day and they were excellent with my kids as well. could not have asked for a better day on the water

    Captain Champy ask me what we wanted to catch and we caught 5! Please note that the boat is a little worse for wear as it has a few year on her, but the two mates took very good care of us. Fresh fruit in the morning. Crab dip for snack and a nice sandwhich for lunch. I would definetly use them again.

    Boat and crew were awesome. Fishing could have been better but we did catch dinner with 3 snapper. We were hoping for rooster fish but they weren't cooperating. Overall I recomend these guys, they worked hard and everyone enjoyed the day.

    Our family had an amazing experience definitely well worth the money spent. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone. The crew was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. Our family ended up reeling in 7 sailfish.
