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.

We booked a 5 hour fishing trip in the bay and requested to have them take us to a restaurant to cook some of the fish. We had a great start early, catching fish left and right. Paco and Carlos were a fun duo, very friendly and knowledgeable. The island they took us too for lunch was amazing. I would suggest doing that too. Overall, a great experience, we will book with Viking again next time.

Great crew and a fast boat. The crew worked really hard to hook fish for us and were very friendly. Fishing was great for mahi-mahi and blue marlin, although the marlin broke the line at the boat. We plan to take this charter again next year.

I’ve been on numerous charters in different countries and oceans and this was one of my best experiences. Victor Manuel and Omar were constantly pulling in lines and changing gear and tactics. I talked about viking charters at local bars for the next couple days, and not a single local was surprised- they clearly have a great reputation in town. They also showed up with live bait they purchased so we didn’t have to waste valuable (and expensive) time catching bait.
These guys are the real deal, don’t hesitate to book them.

My only complaint is that this app rotated my uploaded pictures for some reason haha

Caught some nice Jacks. Slow trolling, but they made a worked hard and got us some nice fish.
