Maybe we got lucky with the Jack.
In this time of the year, we was told so, it could be hard to catch a great viarity of fish and it's not the best time of the year.
So If you want to catch different species of fish ,you should inform yourself wich time of the is the best for catching.

We highly recommend Captain Nelson &Co.
We had a great time, and caught Barracudas and Spanish Mackerel.
We also hade the opportunity to go svimming with turtles mantas and pelicans.
Absolutely great day with Capt.Nelson.

Nelson and his son were great! My grandson made memories that will last a lifetime time! He was very excited about the tuna and red snapper he caught! Nelson is a master Captain, we felt safe the whole time!! I got our dates mixed up and Nelson still accommodated my family making sure we could go out. He provided drinks snacks. 5 out 5 hands down!!
**** please note I was trying to do the survey on my phone and accidentally submitted a 4 rather than a 5 star rating, the app will not let me edit or delete the mistake ***

Waste of time and money! You might catch 1 small barracuda if anything at all….Check out different charters and make everything clear with your captain if he’s going to actually go out what’s the plan/experience how much money is owed ex very shady and unprofessional make sure someone speaks English….basically got a boat ride on the most uncomfortable/safe boat I’ve been on to be passed a fishing pole one time for one small barracuda better off bringing a pole and fishing from the beach you’ll do better and it’s free

We had a problem with the bartender adding on extra drinks, pouring more drinks than requested and doubling the price of what drinks we had ordered. Great day up until that, she drank with us the. Wanted to charge over $1,000 usd. We drank and were prepared for the drinks at the appropriate price. No explanation or itemized receipt would be provided. The crew was nice, the boat could use some better seating for the 8 hr day. Just be extremely careful at the bar.

May was good, heard June is great. We were trolling the entire time so don’t expect catching fish every 10 minutes, however, when u catch something, expect it to be a keeper. Very happy with the trip overall
Chad Barber
Yes I highly recommend to any angler with experience or not. Nelson and his crew will take care of you
Bruce Erratt
Not high season for area according to people we asked. But potential for a number of different fish.
Leo Trautwein
I'm not a fishing expert so I can't truly assess the quality of fishing in February. We had a great day though.
Mark Norris
The baracuda are catch and release so we didn't catch dinner, but our guides clearly knew what they were doing. Fun day of fishing.
Maximillian Alvarez
Wear water safe shoes or go barefoot on the boat. everything else is provided for you!
Charles Gordon
Great time of year to visit due to weather and lower tourist count. Probably the wrong time of year for fishing but if you go in November and want to fish, I recommend this team.
Cody Mclellan
if you are experienced or not yo should take a trip with nelson. will not forget the time you have
Cynthia Moore
make sure to have pesos. the exchange rate seems to vary. I ended up paying $350 USD despite fishing booker saying only $278 usd.
Kenedy Nguyen
Charly and his crew will take of you when you book. Had a great time.
Note that you will have to pay a fee for the National Park since the boat is located there
Michael Olson
Be cautious and keep an eye on wind patterns. Southern wind came in and gave as 8 foot swells. The chop made it near impossible to fish let alone stay in the boat. Be careful!
Daniel Sapp
Waters were not too rough for me. Swells didn't seem over a few feet. Shore line was always in view. Maybe only 1/2 mile off shore at any time.
Alyssa Boswell
I think if we had more experienced anglers, they could have caught more fish, but I don't know much about angling.
Nicole Saula
The boat and gear was rough but it did the trick and some. We had a experience that left us bragging to out friends and family. We were really satisfied with our choice of picking Jazmin charter

Make it fishing and not a boat ride experience. Live bait fishing would have been better then just trailing the lines behind the boat.

Its trolling. My girlfriend thought we would be casting. Also, if you've never been on a boat, bring your sea sickness stuff.
Charles Mignot
Bring some snacks, the crew brings beers and cokes and get ready to fight a big fish!
Albert Roy Medina
Bring a change of clothes. We did expect a little water, you're in the ocean. Enjoy.
Candice Contet
Bring some towels/layers to keep yourself warm if it's a windy/cloudy day.
No restroom on board ;-)
