Find different charter captain was on cell phone most of trip Was full day trip supposed to go way off shore but per above not sure if we did. I understand catching is not assured but feel I might have had better chance to do so than I did

It is what the locals call lent in February. The fish are focused on mating and not eating. That being said we did see a very large blue marlin hit our lines. In Feb don't expect much more. Would definitely do 1 day again at a chance at the marlin we had hit which was over 9ft long

Wouldn’t know. All we did was hold on to what we could grab for dear life. The absolute WORSE " FISHING TRIP" I have ever been on. This"captain" should have checked the weather the day before and the morning of this trip. He should have NEVER Taken us out in this very rough water. There was absolutely NO way we could have fished in this weather. He put all of our lives in DANGER because he didn't want to lose his money for this trip. In the end, we were kept out in these terrible conditions just so he wouldn't give us a refund. Yes, he did refund us $37.50 US Dollars each(which in itself is a JOKE). HE WASTED OUR MONEY FOR NOTHING. IT WAS NOT A FUN EXPERIENCE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THIS CLOWN!!! Any respectable Captain would have NEVER went out in these conditions. We found out after we got back to Riu that ALL other boats CANCELED their trips that day because of the WEATHER. This guy put all of our lives at risk for MONEY. DO NOT USE THIS GUY. I can't say that enough. We realize this is your lively hood but it's not worth risking other people lives and your own life for a few hundred dollars.

Off season for most fish, however we were on fish and were successful. Looking forward to a full day for marlin someday. Always pay attention to what is in season.

the tranquility of the view, along with the hospitality of the crew made this an excellent way to celebrate a birthday!

We were told that because of the heat, the afternoons are better for catching fish when you get a little wind. We intend to go back before we leave and will book an afternoon trip.

It’s fishing. I’d you’ve been offshore fishing, it’s basically that. It’s the beauty of the surrounding landscape that gives it my recommendation.

You are always search for schools of fish and following birds not a lot of structure holding fish..
