    Fun time with my boys

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    My two boys and I took a 4hr trip out of Simpson Bay with Daniel and Ashton. We each had a chance to reel in a catch but unfortunately only got one into the boat. We end up with a 15-17lb Mahi Mahi that we split with the crew which was more than enough for me to make lunch for my boys, wife and I. Daniel and Ashton did a great job taking care of three novice fishermen. A great memory for me with my boys.

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

    Thank you, Mike! We’re so glad you and your boys had a great time with Daniel and Ashton. Even if only one made it into the boat, that mahi mahi sounds like a winner. We love hearing that the trip became such a special family memory. Thanks again for your kind words, and we hope to see you all back on the water soon.

    Captain Miguel and First Mate Coco are St. Maarten natives and knew the waters. Great service, drinks, all the equipment. Did trolling and bottom fishing. We had a great time and would do it again.

    It was a great afternoon on the water. We only caught one fish (barracuda) but it wasn’t for a lack of effort and that’s the way it goes sometimes. Miguel and Cocoa were fantastic guides/crew and we had a great day. Recommend!

    The guys gave us an amazing trip! The fish weren't quite biting but it wasn't for lack of trying. No one gave the fish the memo they were supposed to be eating. We will be back
