Short answer, great trip and would reccomend his guide service to anyone! Captain took us out deep as we requested for Mahi Mahi and sailfish. We trolled through some feeding yellowfin but no luck. Did see some whales and a pair of mating sea turtles though whoch was really cool.
Went closer to shore and tore up the Bonita. They made bonita sashimi for us on the boat. Delicious. They fillet the remaining fish for us and sent us on our way with our catch once we got back to the shore. It was a great first deep sea fishing trip.

it was a fantastic trip well maintained boat, excellent and friendly crew. I went out to target a billfish (Marlin) on top of my list and they made it happen. However, the only recommendation I would suggest is that they have the equipment to be able to bring in 400 pound fish. We hooked up to her, she was beautiful,  she jumped a few times but broke the line . I was truly satisfied that she broke off and was free and unharmed. I’m gonna consider this checked off my bucket list and grateful to the crew of Fran just. I’m looking forward to fishing with them again soon in a few weeks.

We booked a full-day fishing trip. The communication was great. Captain contacted us a day before with all the details about when and where we meet.
There was a slight delay in the morning because the primary captain’s ship didn’t start! Luckily, he has two boats and he was able to switch to the second boat.
We asked the captain to focus on sailfish and he and his crew was more than happy to do so. We trolled for about 3 hours with no luck. We saw some sailfish but didn’t catch any. Other boats reported the same. We switched to bottom-fishing to get some fish for the dinner. We gor a few groupers and a couple tilefish. Captain and his crew did the fishing, set the hook, and we just reeled in the fish. I wish this was more hands-on for us.
We were running out of time but captain decided to try trolling for the sailfish on our way back. We were lucky and the fish finally decided to bite. We had two bites but the fish didn’t stay on. Third time’s a charm and we managed to get a beautiful sailfish on board! After taking a few photos, we headed back to the port. The captain gave us a little extra time on the sea.
The deck hand cleaned the fish for us and we gor home with a great fishing experience and some fish for the dinner.
The captain has some sodas, beers, fresh pineapple, and a sandwich for us on board.
Overall, it was a fun expedice and both the captain and the deck hand tried hard to get us on our dream fish. I only wish the bottom fishing was more hands on.

Myself and some friends who had very limited fishing experience going into this trip and we had an absolute blast! For the first part of the trip, luck was not on our side in terms of the fish biting but we were still very pleased and having a good time as the crew provided snacks and drinks as well as pointing out lots of wildlife such as dolphins, sea turtles, and sailfish. As our trip was ending and we were packing up getting ready to head to shore, a monster sailfish decided to bite and the crew allowed us to fight the fish for an hour past the time we had the trip booked. Bringing in that sailfish was the highlight of the trip and we could not have done it without the very good help and guidance of the crew.

The captain was also super helpful leading up to the trip and communicated very well and was flexible with the times for us.

Just got back from a half day of fishing out Capt Juan and first mate Aaron, solid guys! We started the morning with them picking us up from the new Waldorf Astoria property that just opened. We arranged for him to come pick myself (the only angler) up from the beach at 06:30. He was prompt and was communicating the whole time with me from the point of booking to the pickup time.

Once on the water, I wanted to target Rooster fish. Capt Juan was running two lines off the back while I was working a surface bait which had two good hits but couldn’t keep the fish on. We decided to head out into deeper water and looked for mahi and sailfish.

It only took about 30 mins before we ran into a school of yellow tail tuna, and it was on. Had multiple hookups, ended up with 4 yellowtail in the boat. Capt Juan was running 4 lines when the bite was hit and we had two diffrent, double hookups. First mate Aaron stepped in and helped pull one in while I was handling the other

There were dolphins running alongside the boat, which for me is lovely sight. We connected with a 1-1.5 meter sailfish but it shook the hook, which is fishing of course! I’m already booked for another charter and wouldn’t hesitate recommending him to others. He fillet our catch which I brought to hotel that made ceviche and grilled yellowtail for lunch. 1.5 hours from the catch to a plate, how can you get fresher than that?!

Pura Vida!
