The boat arrived at our dock exactly at 8:00am as promised. This type of precision started the trip on a positive note. Seas were high and the ride a bit rough at times but Captain Richard handled the boat competently and safely.
The mate Byron was fabulous in technique and attentiveness. Truly top notch. I could not have asked for a better, more coordinated crew.
I’m still waiting for Richard to email me the picture of the massive bull mahi we boated. (4 big mahi and about 20 cudas)

This trip did not disappoint, within the first 20 minutes of being on the water we caught a really nice barracuda followed by tuna and overal we ended up with 3 very large barracuda and nine tuna. To end the day I hooked on to a blue marlin but after a 25 minute fight the line got cut. Overall a great experience and highly recommend this trip. Plus they came and cooked the fish for us at our suite afterwards and was delicious!!

The water was a little rough, but didn’t get sick. Ramiro was very friendly, and
worked extremely hard to find fish, and kept all rods freshly baited and in the water
as much as possible due to several bottom snags. We caught several species of
snapper, shark and barracuda, and Ramiro even caught our fresh bait in the
shallows with a throw net.
  All in all, a good trip, and I would recommend it!

My husband and I had a wonderful time with Capt. Luis for a lagoon adventure and cookout.  We were able to catch barracuda and spear lobster for lunch, and we spent some time swimming around the coral reef- I was thrilled!  After lunch we went in search of manatees, which also pleased me greatly. We also waited out a rain storm by tying up to the mangroves in the boat. 

The only thing lacking from this fishing trip was the fishing itself.  The website posts all sorts of pictures of exotic fish being caught and fishing was probably only 20% of our actual full-day adventure.  My husband was particularly disappointed that we didn’t spend more time fishing… perhaps we could have had the cookout later in the afternoon (when it was forecasted to rain) to allow for fishing for more diverse species in deeper water while it was sunny out.  Or perhaps the live bait could have been caught the day prior so we didn’t have to spend time looking for them. Or maybe the itinerary wasn’t properly explained to us up front as we did not know that we needed to specify that we wanted to catch more fish for the sport of it.  We looked for snapper but couldn’t find them- nobody’s fault.  I was delightfully surprised by the wildlife and coral viewing but it was supposed to be a fishing trip after all.  Maybe the captain changed the itinerary on the fly due to the afternoon lightning storm… hard to say.  We had fun, but the fishing portion left us wanting.  For the price we paid, we’ve gone on fishing trips and caught dozens of fish each, and on this trip I think we each caught two fish over the course of an hour… we would have happily sacrificed other activities to spend some of the other ~6 hours fishing.

Caught 4 barracuda and a waho that a 7 foot bull shark got a hold of,,,,, that was an incredible fight!!! Captain filleted one of the barracuda for us and our resorts chefs gladly prepared it for us, grilled, blackened and fried.  A fantastic day!!
