We had our trip canceled on the fortuna due to weather so we went in the Sherlock the day before. Very grateful they could accommodate us. It was a slow day, morning crew only caught 1 fish. Our captain did everything he could to put us on fish. 1st mate kept us entertained with historical knowledge and music. After an Hour into our 4 hr trip the captain spotted a group of Mahi ( No idea how ) and we were on. In total we caught 2 Mahi, 2 Wahoo and 2 barracuda.ย Great day of fishing.
We ended up fishing on La Fortuna, and the boat was a nice boat with good equipment. However our charters highlight was the crew. Eddie was the first mate on our boat, and he was incredibly personable and fun to chat with. Additionally, some members of our group became seasick and the crew was incredibly flexible to meet the needs of everyone. Thanks Big Marlin Charters!
Did the 6 hour trip. The boat was great size, clean and comfortable! First mate Ed was super! He moved all the time checking the lines and doing his fish calls! Waves were pretty big that day! We caught several fish! I highly recommend fishing on the Fortuna!
Excellent time! The guys were outstanding- funny, helpful, polite, knowledgeable. From the time we were picked up to the time we were dropped off, we were escorted or accompanied by at least one member of the team and we always felt safe and well cared for. They were super helpful when the younger members of our family were reeling fish in, snacks and water were available and accessible at all times. Really fantastic
Our deckhand and captain were a great team. They make taking the waves on look easy, we however were feeling queasy. 1/2 day was perfect for us. Only caught 1, but we are grateful!
