Everything was top notch. Caught a barracuda. Sandwiches provided by the crew were delicious.
Went for a 3/4 day trolling, one week after hurricane Beryl. Capt and first mate worked hard to find the fish, but it was a slow day.ย Caught a small tuna and had one bull mahi crash the spread, hitting two baits before moving on.ย Boat (SurReel) was SUPER clean, tackle was top notch Penn gear. The other boats in the fleet had some age on them.ย Chad, the first mate, was great.ย Polite and knowledgeable. They had made sandwiches for the anglers, cold beer and water/soft drinks.ย Good location, pick up at hotel is available, overall good experience.ย Recommend that you manage your expectations and align to the fishing seasons.ย Middle of July is not the best time to fish, especially 1 wk after a hurricane.ย Yes, I would do it again on the same boat, with the same crew at the same price.

Great boat, gear, and crew.
Great time on the boat with Stephen and Michael. Trip started slow but finally located the birds and got into some good action landing 3 yellow fin and 1 skip jack. No monsters by any means but great experience nonetheless - the crew cooked up one of the yellowfins on the boat for us, got to see several whales breach next to the boat, dolphin followed us in and got to see the โtax manโ breach the surface and eat one of the tunas during blitz. Sad to hear other charters apparently were not as lucky and did not catch this morning. Overall great experience. My only gripe was that I couldnโt bring my personal spinning reel to site cast because they didnโt have a spinning rod to accommodateโฆwould have been awesome to throw out some poppers during tuna blitz.
