Minnesota, US•Member since 2024•2 trips5.0VerifiedUnforgetable!!!
Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 childWe had an incredible morning fishing with Captain Cruise (5 hour). The fishing was phenomenal—we brought in four mahi-mahi, an ono, and a tuna! Captain Cruise is a total pro; he’s extremely knowledgeable about different techniques, the land and water. He was a friendly, accommodating guide throughout the trip. The absolute highlight, however, was when seven humpback whales surfaced right next and under our boat. It was a massive adrenaline rush and something we’ll never forget. After the trip, Captain Cruise filleted the mahi for us, and we made fresh poke and fish tacos back at our condo. The mahi tacos freshness and kiss of the grill were the best our group has ever had. If you're looking for a top-tier guide who knows the waters and fishing, book with Bob Marlin Charters and fingers crossed you get paired up with Captain Cruise!!!

Half Day Trip • 2 adultsWe had an amazing day. Kevin and Cruz were truly pleasant, passionate, and professional. I had an unforgettable experience, and thanks to their experience we managed to bring a wahoo onboard—even while it was being attacked by a shark at the same time. Without their expertise, it would have been impossible. I highly recommend Bob Marlin Charters. My only regret is not having booked more than 5 hours—or more than one day—out on the water, and not having had the chance to leave them a bigger tip because they absolutely deserved it.

Half Day Trip • 2 adultsCruise and G were great guys! Very friendly, sociable, and made us comfortable the whole way! We caught a great skipjack and they cut it and bagged it for us after taking pictures. They worked hard to get us to the fish, and gave us directions/tips while still letting us reel in our catch ourselves and cheered us on the whole way! High-fives all around!

Morning Half Day Trip • 3 adultsWe went on a half day morning trip. The crew was great. They worked hard to get us on some nice fish. We took home a nice Ono and had a good fight with a big shark. We had a blast. Good luck in AK!
