We had an amazing half day trip and experience with Carolina. It took about thirty minutes to get out to our first spot for trolling and we were initially targeting Mahi, but after about an hour of trolling a marlin passed by the boat and the captain threw out a line with live bait in the path of the marlin and managed to hook it. It was pretty incredible to watch. Once we landed the first marlin a second marlin hit about thirty minutes later and this time my wife reeled this one in. The crew were incredibly knowledgeable and it was easy to tell they were trying to put us on fish. Additionally, we unexpectedly came upon a pod of dolphins and for about twenty minutes the crew was able to position the boat so the dolphins would swim under and around the boat. Truly an unforgettable trip and we will be looking to use Carolina again. A couple of things to point out. One, you will need to purchase a fishing license which they have available to purchase dockside. It was quick and easy. Secondly, Carolina will coordinate the cleaning of the fish; however you will need to bring some cash for this. The marlin we kept was $30 USD.

We had a great experience with the Carolina Fishing Tours. My brother-in-law and I went out in Mid October for the full day fishing trip. The crew was very attentive to the lines and were changing the lures when the fish were not biting, breakfast burritos, beer, water, and our fishing licenses were all provided for us with no hassle. We were able to catch 2 Striped Marlin during our outing!

So we told the crew (Captain William and First Mate Jorge that we would like to start out by catching anything and then work towards getting a Marlin. We began trolling for Mahi Mahi and despite the crew working hard changing baits and locations for about 3.5 hours, nothing, not a nibble.  So the Captain asked if we wanted to go to an area with some Marlin action. We headed there and saw a few other boats with marlins on the line. Then came our turn when a marlin hit one of our lines. My wife got in the fighting chair and began to reel in. After a big struggle and the awesome assistance of the crew, she was able to land a striped Marlin, which has been a lifetime dream of hers. Also, on the way in, we also caught a Mahi Mahi. Thank you Captain William and Jorge for such a wonderful experience.

Couldn’t have asked for better Captain’s and crew .  Capt Omar and Miguel( brothers ) were great .  I asked to catch Bonita and Rooster fish and we nailed them .  I was so tired of reeling , that they accommodated my wife’s request for whale watching .  After a two hour break . We went for marlin .  And , bam , a marlin on the line . We battled for 50 min, we help from Capt on boat and Miguel giving my arms a rest , we landed a beautiful 106 “ marlin .  Can’t say enough about this crew .  Capt Omar , Miguel and mate Jose , thank you for a great day on the water .

We had a great time and the Captain and crew were very knowledgeable and experienced and helped us land a striped Marlin!  My buddy and I have both been on other deep sea fishing tours and neither of us had caught anything before.  We both took turns and reeled in a great fish that they helped us get butchered and take to our resort where we thoroughly enjoyed it!  Highly recommend them for a great fishing experience!
