We booked a 5-hour afternoon trip with Captain Alex and his deckhand Juan aboard the Nuj Kay to celebrate my son’s 22nd birthday, and it turned out to be an experience we’ll never forget.

The action started early when my son landed a beautiful blackfin tuna—his first catch of the day. We were already thrilled, thinking the trip was a success… but then Captain Alex made the call to use that tuna as bait. What happened next was the kind of moment every angler dreams about.

Not long after, a massive 51-inch trophy barracuda came out of nowhere and smashed the bait just feet from the boat. The fight that followed was wild—full of adrenaline, excitement, and expert teamwork. With Alex calmly guiding the action and Juan handling the deck like a pro, we were able to bring that beast aboard. It was the catch of a lifetime and the perfect birthday surprise for my son.

The Nuj Kay was spotless, well-maintained, and fully equipped with top-tier gear. The boat had everything we needed for a smooth, fun, and safe trip. And the best part? Alex and Juan were just awesome—friendly, professional, and passionate about giving us the best experience possible.

Even in just five hours, we made lifelong memories, caught an incredible mix of fish, and shared a moment that will go down as one of the greatest birthday stories ever. They even cleaned and bagged the fish for us at the end of the trip.

If you’re considering a charter, stop thinking and just book with Captain Alex and Juan on the Nuj Kay. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a day on the water, you’ll leave with amazing stories, photos, and a huge smile on your face.

We went on an 8 hour trip with Alex and Jordan. I have done many charters, but this was the best by far. They made the whole day fun and entertaining all while catching mahi mahi and a giant black fin tuna. They were very professional and polite. Their experience showed how a real charter should be. We caught fish all day! They catered to our every need! When we were all done, Jordan made fresh ceviche that was amazing. Not only do I recommend this company, but I will definitely be using them again, and I will be asking for Captain Alex and Jordan. Thank you for the best fishing day ever!!

We just went on a trip with Alex and Lucas. They are an amazing team. We went on a four hour afternoon trip and we started getting bites within 10 minutes. My son landed the first mahi mahi and my daughter had an epic fight with a monster mahi mahi. The crew navigated the smaller boat very well and they helped each kid and were very patient. This was my kids first deep sea trip and it was amazing. If you’re looking for a great priced trip with superb personnel this is the trip. The restaurant ant the marina cooked our catch and it was unbelievable. Until our next trip I wish you tight lines and smooth oceans my friends. Thank you for the memories and be safe.

Alex (Captain) and Juan are a fantastic crew. They make everything easy and were trying to find Fish the whole morning. They work very hard. We got a Trigger Fish and a Porgy, They clean it for me and it was cook at Krudo Restaurant. Very happy with Alex and Juan. I can not ask for more.
The part I really do not like is that Hugo (Captain and person that I have to realize the final payment) was not very clear with the last payment and I had to pay more money that it appears in this web page. Around 50 USD more. Not happy and I was very close to cancel the trip due to this.

Great crew who went above and beyond for my family and I. My kids are 11 and 13 and reeled them in as well on the fighting chair. We caught tons of Bonita, sail fish, and several barracuda with the biggest being 54”. Great trip and would highly recommend for everyone. Also, we saw small number of reviews and loved the boat prior to booking. Glad we didn’t let that discourage us, as we have zero regrets of using nu jay and the marlin Monroe crew!! Great job mi amigos!!
