They were very prompt in responding and picked me up right off the dock at Sandals where we were staying.  I’d chosen a 3/4 day trip for myself (seas too choppy for my wife).  Ack and Julian were the crew and they were a great tandem to fish with.  As soon as we left the inlet by Sandals they were already working gear to try to land some live bait for bigger fish (e.g. we caught some skipjacks right out of the gate).  One of the skipjacks got sheared in half as I reeled it in and showed what they said was a clear Wahoo strike.  We caught a couple of small barracuda.  Then a small Rainbow Runner that we quickly released.  We then got a double hookup of Mahi Mahis.  We picked the one we wanted to fight and got the leader to the boat, but before we could could pull it out for some pics, it’s last ditch effort it threw the hook (tip of the cap to the fish:).  We then caught a couple nicer barracudas that we kept.  Also caught a couple small blackin tuna that made for some tasty sashimi:).  We cruised out to and around Klein island which was cool scenery while fishing.  And to their credit they continued fishing up until the last minute which is when the trip moved into the Epic class.  As they started pulling in the line for the outriggers and calling it a day, we got a strong hit on a down line.  That’s when we reeled in the 40+ pound Wahoo!  We were all fired up.  Put on a pretty good show as we paraded the fish past the Sandals pool so my wife (and everybody else:) could see!

When I hopefully come back to Curacao, I know who I hope to fish with…Ack and Julien on the Ynot!

Julian and Derek (hope I spelled his name correctly) were extremely professional, safe, informative, and weren’t going to let us go home without catching something. What looked like what may be a “hitless” af5ernoon quickly turned into 2 caught tuna and 1 barricuda. This is all thanks to their relentless efforts. They could’ve called it a day after 3.5 hours of no catches on a 4 hour trip but wouldn’t give up and ended up getting those 3 catches while taking their time getting back to shore. Snacks, water, and soda were provided as well as information on the bait/fish we caught as well as safety procedures on the boat. They are worth every penny! I recommend them 100%.

Crew did a great job getting us on some small tuna and barracuda.  Seas were calm and from what we learned that is a bad thing.  Causes the water to heat up and the fish to go deep.  Crew was great an interacting with us and giving us info on the island.  Would recommend trying this crew.  They were nice and very professional.  They caught enough fish for us to have a meal when we arrived back on shore.  Mission accomplished!

It was our son’s dream to catch tuna, and it came true! We caught blackfin tuna, barracuda and rainbow runner. Big waves at times, which were thrilling and fun. Motion sickness medicine recommended (I took it in advance and was completely fine.). Captains were knowledgeable, efficient, and courteous. We got to have tuna sashimi on the boat with soy sauce and wasabi and took lots of tuna fillet home for a big lunch. We had a great time!!

5-Star Fishing Experience on the Party Hooker!

Had an incredible day out on the Party Hooker! From the moment we left the dock, the crew was professional, punctual, and clearly knew their stuff. They worked hard to put us on the fish, and it paid off big time — we landed yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, and skipjack tuna. On top of the action-packed fishing, we were treated to a show by a huge pod of dolphins. The crew made sure everyone was comfortable and safe, and their passion for what they do really came through. Can’t recommend this trip enough — if you’re looking for a top-notch fishing experience, this is it.
