We (husband & wife) did an 8 hour trip with Captain Jovany & crew (Mariano & David) & had a fantastic time. We started out strong fishing with both of us catching a Mahi Mahi about 30 minutes in. We saw 2 very large turtles (between 2โ & 3โ across while out on the water fishing. We stopped about 4 hours in at a reef & did some snorkeling while the captain made ceviche with some of our catch. The ceviche was delicious with the tortilla chips provided. We were also given watermelon & pineappleโฆyum! While snorkeling, we saw 3 stingrays, a turtle & lots of other small fish at the reef. Captain & crew were always checking in to make sure we were doing good. Ended the day with 4 Mahi Mahi & 1 barcuda. We had 2 Mahi Mahi that got away (so sad!). Captain Jovany fillets the Mahi Mahi for us to bring back to our apartment, so we will be having lots of Mahi Mahi tacos in the future & hubby will try his hand at ceviche.
The crew was always working the lines to make sure they were free of seaweed (a full-time job) & the bait was good. They were always working, never just sitting around. A good pair to have on the boat so the Captain can captain.
If you are looking for fun in the sun & a wonderful memory making opportunity, I highly recommend Captain Jovany, the crew & boat.

What a winderful review. Thank you sooo much! Like the A-Team used to say back in the 80โsโฆ. โI love it when a plan comes together!โ Safe travels ย ๐๐ฝ
What a terrific day. Truly memorable. Always apprehensive when booking a trip based solely on reviews and not having had personal recommendations- but there was no reason to be. The day was totally excellent. We had windy conditions and quite a large swell but within an hour a Mahi Mahi was in the boat and so too a large Sailfish of around 35kg. 30 min later and a larger Sailfish arrived. Arm aching stuff. No other boats were catching so hats off to the skipper - his 14 yrs experience paying dividends. After another MM lost at the boat we bottom fished for some trigger fish and snapper (for lunch) which was great fun and non stop action. Captain took us to a beautiful bay for lunch where he made the most incredible ceviche. Best meal so far. In addition on this trip i saw large turtles, a huge stingray, remora, flying fish, frigate birds, a pelican sat next to me on the boat, and then to cap it off capitan filleted my snapper and mahi mahi and my family and I had the most wonderful meal and the adjacent restaurant. Just a magical day. Thank you capitan - incredible memories made

Wow! We canโt thank you enough! Thatโs an amazing review. Safe Travels. ๐๐ฝ
The captain had help from Mariano and David. We had an issue getting a Taxi in the morning (Communication Issue). I messaged the boat, and they responded quickly. We showed up about a half hour late, and the Captain and crew were happily waiting for us. We were trolling within minutes of leaving shore. We trolled for a couple of hours with no success. Seemed like other boats were having a similar morning. The captain then had us bottom fish for a bit. We brought in trigger fish and a banana fish, and a big Cuda! The seas were choppy, but the captain did a great job maneuvering through the water! We would happily fish with this boat again!

Thanks for the nice review! We loved having you onboard! Safe travels. ๐๐ฝ
Exceptional fishing trip on the ocean! The captain and crew were extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we caught fish. They were fantastic with my kids and really took the time to help them catch fish as well.
We ended up catching a ton of triggerfish (including one huge one!) and a few other smaller fish. Considering the weather wasnโt great, we did really well. We also had a 5-year-old on board, and he absolutely loved getting to drive the boat.
The staff were incredibly friendly, and we really appreciated that they cleaned the fish for us when we got back. They also recommended a local restaurant where we brought the fish, and they cooked it up for amazing fish tacosโso delicious!
We would absolutely use this company again when we return and highly recommend them.

Thank you for the nice review. We loved having your family onboard. Letโs do it again sometime! Safe travels. ๐๐ฝ
Communication prior to the trip was very good.ย We had to push our start time back and then there was a possibility of canceling just prior to heading out due to the weather.ย They could not have been more accommodating. We decided to go out despite the threat of rain and we are glad we did.ย 2 adults and 2 children age 10/11. We caught alot of trigger fish and the crew was great.ย Very patient with the boys and making it fun the entire time.ย I highly recommend this boat and company. We cant wait to eat our fish tonight for dinner.ย PS . we also loved the friendly compitition and banter between another boat in the same fleet (our boys def caught more fish then they did) lol. Great time had by all.
