Great Boat and got us on the meat early with yellow grouper and tile fish, caught maybe 25 then a 100lb sailfish and a 50lb bull Mahi Mahi. Our geoup of 20 for tonights and best fish i have ever eaten. I know that doesnt happen evdey day but crew was switching bait and lures every 10 minutes until we found what worked.

This is a great entry level charter. The crew are very good and experienced. The boat is smaller and more manoeuvrable. It does allow for a more open air experience but lacks a comfort that larger boats offer.

Just check to see if the fish are biting or not. We had perfect weather and everything was great except for the bite! The captain tried his best to put us on fish, we even seen some yellow fin tunas but couldnt connect. All in all, sucks we didnt catch fish but everall great trip. Its called fishing not catching ??‍♂️

bring bigger coolers. i have used guided fishing for years from Alaska Costa Rica and this trip is up in top 2. also never had to tell captain NO MORE we are done, we had to give fish away and we were all worn out from fighting fish. Best trip ever worth every penny and there was 6 of us fishing.

Be prepared to wade out (knee deep or more) to get on the small skiff to take you to the anchored fishing boat. We got suckered into $10 parking, had we gone 30 yards further out would of been free but at least we had someone watching our vehicle

Don't expect top equipment and secluded fishing grounds. But this is often the case anyway. The people here are friendly and helpful and adjust your fishing trip to your desires.

If they offer to go out an hour early, I would take them up on that. Fishing was better and water was calmer

It's fun to catch on your own gear if you can bring it. Don't bring any bananas. They have pineapple on the boat.

As always, weather dependent, wind is the main factor. Make a flexible and realistic plan contingent on the conditions.
