    Outstanding Experienc!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Alex and First Mate Dustin absolutely killed it on our charter fishing tour! We caught an insane 11 Mahi Mahi and 3 Skip Jack Tuna - what a haul! The crew was top-notch, knowledgeable, and made sure we were having a blast. They handled everything so we could focus on the thrill of the catch. Highly recommend this tour for any angler looking for an unforgettable experience!"

    Great father son trip

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    My buddy and I took out our sons and we each landed quaikity fish. The Captain and Deck hand were great. Although i would have liked to have kept more fish than just 10lbs of cut fish. I was under the impression that we would leave with 20lbs of cut fish if there was that much brought in. We certainly landed more than 40lbs of processed fish.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Yellowfin Tuna
    Response from Charter operator

    Glad you had a great trip with a nice catch! Next time, just ask for more at the whole sale rate. we would have been happy to cut as much as you like.
