Weโve fished tons of charters over the years, Capt Alan & Ian were first class. Extremely hospitable, boat is very well kept & clean with tons of room both upper deck & lower with seating etc, cold drinks & snacks and MOST importantly they WANT to catch as many fish as they can for you! From the time we got on the boat the engine was running, takes about 10 minutes to get through the channels and about 10 minutes to trolling waters and once the lines hit the water we were FISHING!!! Thatโs what we were there for and thatโs what we did, even when pulling wahoos in our other trolling lines were out & Capt kept the boat moving just slow enough to get our fish in, but as soon as it hit the deck motor was back up to trolling speed and we were back at it. Top notch family ran business, and if you are looking at best chance of not just fishing but Catching these are your guys!!! Thankyou for an amazing day!

I took my son on a spontaneous trip one morning with Captain Alan and his son Ian. All the taxis knew exactly who Alan was and said heโs a legend, so that was assuring since we were coming from the cruise with no local knowledge. The boat was pristine and all the gear was high-end and very well cared for and we immediately knew they were pros. They had tons of drinks and snacks all set and were able to start fishing within about 15 mins of leaving the dock. We hooked 2 White Marlin, a wahoo and a barracuda, which were all firsts for my son.ย Ian never let us lift a finger and gave us some great local food suggestions for later. A great time and weโd definitely go back on the Challenger w Alan and Ian. Thanks guys!

I am Bermudian and have constantly heard great thing about the Card brothers and Challenger through the fishing community. I have gone on tons of fishing charters in Bermuda and this was by far one of my favorite experience. Captain Alan and Ian were extremely knowledgable and filled the day with great fishing stories and unforgettable memories catching wahoo with friends. I had 3 friends down visiting that had no experience fishing and had an absolute blast! They all have the fishing bug now! I Would highly recommend for experienced and unexperienced anglers!

Did some trolling for marlin and and wahoo on the way to Challenger Bank, had a hit but didnโt catch him.ย At the Bank, we got two black-fin and two yellow fin tuna, one of which was 103lbs.ย We had 3-4 other hook-ups and 2-3x we got clipped off, and there were one or two wahoo hanging around and it had to be them.ย Those wiseguys knew to bite the line without the wire leader.ย Maybe weโll outfox them next time.ย Same for mr. marlin!
If I can get back to update this review, Iโll add some pix.
Hoping to coming back next year to do it all again!ย Thanks Alan & Ian.
