    Nice Topwater fishing, beautiful Views!

    It was a really great trip with Captain Sentana. The pickup at the pier was on time and worked perfectly. The whole trip with its beautiful views around the island would have been worth it even without fishing. The Captain put in every effort and tried everything so we could catch a fish. We fished unique spots. Unfortunately, that just wasn’t the case on this day – the sea always wins.

    Fishing is one of the best ways to refre

    Enjoying the beauty of the ocean, escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and simply being present in the moment — that's the beauty of fishing. Together with Melissa, we shared great conversations, lots of laughter, and wonderful moments on board. And of course, we had some nice catches too! 8 grouper and 2 skipjack tuna, just the perfect size for a delicious BBQ! ?? Thank you, Melissa, for sharing such a lovely day with us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable fishing adventure on board! Good times, great company, and memories made at sea. ❤️

    That was amazing! Today I caught my first tuna! We came across a pod of dolphins. I saw how local fishermen catch octopuses. We talked a lot, joked around, and laughed. Thank you to my captain, Aryatisa, and his friend Idris, for the unforgettable experience!

    Best fishing trip ever!

    Beautiful day to be out fishing! We caught 18 different fishes—from tuna to red snapper, grouper, ruby and other variety. We got picked up in Nusa Dua from our hotel. Captain Butu and Madi was great from start to finish. Absolutely the best! They helped with the gear, fishing, clean up. There was soda, water, snacks, and packed lunch. After fishing, the crew took us to a local warung to cook our choice fish and had lunch with us. Overall, so worth it! We totally enjoyed this day! Everyone caught fish!!! -Jiji and Manny, Dennis and Jora

    Great way to start the day.

    We had some pastries from the bakery ready to go for a 5:45am start. Manu was ready early as were we, so we hopped in and straight off the bat hooked into multiple bonito. We didnt get any trophy fish unfortunately but thats fishing. The experience takes you to beautiful parts of lembongan, Ceningan and Penida, including Manta Bay, Manu was extremely well equipped and informative, although apologetic about no big fish we understood he does not control nature.

    First of all, special thanks to Mandy for his outstanding guidance, which allowed us to catch two big fish. He provided professional equipment, and despite the scorching sun, our persistence paid off and we accomplished our goal. If you ever have the chance to experience deep-sea fishing in Bali, this is definitely the ultimate choice!

    A Challenging But Memorable Fishing Day

    We had the pleasure of welcoming the lovely Louise family from New Zealand — a friendly, enthusiastic family of experienced anglers who were ready for another adventure on the waters. The weather was beautiful that day, with great conditions to enjoy the ocean. However, the current was unusually slow, the water was quite cold, and even our sonar showed very little fish activity below. We started at our first spot with jigging, hoping for an early strike. Interestingly, we had fished the same spot just one day earlier and had some great strikes there. But as we all know, fishing is never the same every day. Sometimes the fish simply have their own plans. After giving jigging a good try, we decided to change our strategy and switch to trolling. We also met several other anglers on the water who had made the same decision because the fish activity was not very aggressive that day. Finally, we were rewarded with one solid strike from a tongkol (skipjack tuna)! Although it wasn't a big catch, that single pull made the difference and reminded us why we love fishing — you never know what the ocean will give you. After the fishing session, the Louise family enjoyed some relaxing snorkeling around Nusa Dua before we wrapped up our half-day fishing trip. Thank you, Louise family, for bringing such great energy and positive vibes to the trip. Sometimes the ocean gives us plenty of fish, and sometimes it gives us a story to remember. Fishing is not always about the catch — it's about the adventure, the experience, and the memories we create along the way.
