My son and I set out for our second trip in the last year with Viking. Captain Carlos and Samuel did not disappoint us. We did not catch our limit like last year, but got some excellent Mahi to put in the freezer. The best part of the trip was the crew. They worked hard to get us on fish and we had a great time. Seeing Captain Carlos again was like seeing an old friend, and Samuel was like we were family. Thank you both for a most memorable day!

So the crew was very attentive and they were always very polite, i went with my 4 years old daughter and wife so could fish longer but we did about 4 hours of Fishing and the rest moving to the snorkel point which was nice.
As the Fishing part of the day, i can say it could be better but thats how fishing is, there are good days and not so good days, i think we might have change locations more often since there were no bites nor activity seen where we trolled the first 2 hours. So i feel they could be more proactive looking for the bites other than that the crew was very serviciable.

We booked an 8 hour trip and Manuel met us on the beach at our resort offering the 10 hour trip and suggesting that the fishing would be better if we went farther out. He said we would get 13-15ish fish rather than 8 or 10. We agreed to do so and met Francisco for our trip the next morning. The trip was great. Francisco worked very hard. We caught 3 tuna and 2 mahi mahi. After getting back, we were surprised, however, to learn that Francisco would get only a very very small cut of the large fee we paid for the trip. We were not prepared to tip the large amount expected to make it worth his time as he was great and worked really hard. Francisco was grateful for the amount we originally offered prior to knowing how little he would be paid - but it was obvious that he needed more to be able to support his family.

I am hopeful this was unintentional; but, we received 2 fake $5 bills as change when paying for our trip upon arrival at the pier.

Overall, the trip was great. I just wish we would have had a little more information regarding the pay and/or tipping situation prior to our trip so we would have known what questions to ask and have been more prepared.

Great day on the water. 2 minutes with lines in and we hooked two sailfish. Then as the day went on the fishing pick up with a total of 14 Mai Mai. At time all 3 of us had a fish on. Absolutely amazing day!!!!!!!
