We had a great day with Carlos and Jose. We didn’t catch much fish but Carlos and his family went out of their way to help celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. We “caught a cake” and that was THE perfect ending. Boat was immaculate!

Great day on the water. We didn’t catch any fish but we knew we were in between seasons. The crew was awesome, checking bait and refreshing the whole trip. I will book again next time I’m in the DR

1/2 day trip started off with a couple of barracuda. Hoped that would be a good sign for the day. Went dry for a couple hours before our captain (Carlos) got us on a school of dorado. Ended up having a blast with 2 barracuda, 1 wahoo, and 10 dorado. Highly recommended. Saul, our first mate, never let our gear go unbaited. Very attentive. Go have some fishing fun!

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The captain and crew were great. Just a warning be prepared for what we thought were pretty rough seas. You never know with fishing but Carlos found the fish made this old man’s day. Very exciting. No trophy’s but lotsa fish. Thank you to captain and crew!
