Amazing boat, highly skilled captain and crew, excellent experience! Best sport fishing I’ve done in terms of total experience. 100% recommend and will be coming back! Muchas gracias!

success isnt always a count or weight while fishing. we never hooked up on bill fish or big tuna. had a great time and reeled in other varieties until i was relieved when the time was up.

Had a great time with Hansel & Daniel on the Papi Chula charter catching a 55” Wahoo that was made into sashimi within 30 minutes!  Had a great time and will be back again.
