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.

Captain Alan and his son Ian were fantastic hosts and put us on the fish! What more can you ask for? I canโt think of anything more they could have done to make the day any better. Great family run boat with a long history of fishing the beautiful waters of Bermuda!
Thanks again to Alan and Ian for a great trip!!
Hoping to come back ASAP!

Definitely recommend this trip to anyone. The Captain and crew were awesome. Our trip started slow but they didnโt give up. It ultimately payed off catching 4 Wahoo, 1 Mahi, and a Barracuda. We had a crew off 4 first timers and 2 with some experience. They did a great job being patient and teaching the proper way to work the rod and reel. Fish with these guys and you will not be disappointed. We will be back next year! Thank you for a memorable trip!!!
