We chartered this fishing boat for my birthday, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions I’ve made. We hooked five fish and managed to reel in three—plenty for a fresh feast and even better for the stories.

The captain and crew were phenomenal. They kept the lines in the water, the drinks flowing, and the energy relaxed yet lively. What really stood out was how they wove in local knowledge—sharing insights about the fish, the culture, and the land with the kind of ease that made learning feel like part of the fun.

The cherry on top? After docking at the pier, the captain personally walked us to a nearby restaurant where our catch was cooked to perfection. Talk about ending the day in style.

I’d recommend this crew to anyone looking for a laidback, memorable adventure. I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’m aiming for all five fish in the boat.

I can’t recommend these guys enough.  Even if we didn’t catch anything I would’ve been happy with how well he read the water and explained his thought process to me.  He was also willing to listen to my input and seemed as excited to catch fish as I was. 

I was originally signed up on a night fish for snapper and grouper but I got a call from the captain who said “look man, it’s not good season for that, I recommend marlin, tuna, or mahi.” So we changed it to meet at 7am.  Immediately I learned a lot about the local fishing, tide lines, etc. as we motored out.  After talking to some other boats we decided to head farther out where there is a small island.  Once we caught out bait (skipjack) it was just a waiting game.  As soon as one of the other boats left the captain remarked that the fishing was about to pick up because the skipjack started jumping.  Just like that FISH ON!  After about 20 minutes we landed a 25-30kg sailfish.  Already a dream.  We decided to keep going and as the captain said, that was the appetizer.  Caught some more bait and ALMOST had what would’ve been the biggest tuna I’ve seen but it didn’t hook, just bit the bait in half!  Gave it a little longer before we got another strong bite.  As we wondered what it was we saw a giant marlin jump at the end of the line.  We hooted and hollered and settled in for an hour and a half fight with a huge black marlin.  Got it on board like a pro and we booked it back home with a beer to celebrate. 

Bring a cooler if you fish with these guys cuz they know their stuff and if the fish are there, they will find them.

The day started off a little rainy, but Captain Angel said don’t worry we will get on the fish. We motored out from los Muertos to los Arcos and found a good spot to start trolling. The captain got our baits in the water and within half an hour we had our first bite. It was a double hook up, but the mahi-mahi came off. My son reeled in his first shark! We let that one go but soon enough my son reeled in his first mahi-mahi! We had some other action, saw turtles, lots of bait fish, some jumping sailfish and caught another mahi which we released. A+++ day. Highly recommend these guys!

Great boat, crew, and equipment. We were here in early June and did an extended day trip. We did not catch any fish but still had a great day. We fished and then hung out in Yelapa per our request. If you are solely interested in catching fish in early June you should let the Captain know and do an extended day all on the water so you can go further out. They bring you some food and water, if you are going out to fish for the full 10 hours I would bring extra food and drinks, they provide an ice chest with ice for you. I would go out with them again for sure. Angel was our boat Captain.

Just WOW! 
We booked the 10hr excursion for the 6 of us - my husband and I, our 8 year old son, our 20 year old son and his girlfriend, and my mother. Quite the eclectic group! And some of us were worried that it would be too long or boring. Boy were we wrong! It was an impressive trip from start to finish!
The fishing was great and successful, Jeff was fun, helpful and knowledgeable. We saw tons of humpback whales breaching, sea lions, various birds, a sea turtle, and a large pod of dolphins!
Then, and this is why I feel
Like we got the VIO experience (but you can too), we went to Yelapa, cozied up to an on the beach restaurant m, had some drinks and then ate ceviche, sashimi, and fried fish that was cooked up by the restaurant from THE FISH WE CAUGHT!! It was the most amazing, delicious experience! Yes, that cost is extra and paid to the restaurant, but well worth it.
Highly recommend this company and going BIG with the 10 hour trip. Far surpassed fishing trips we’ve done in Hawaii
