From the moment we spoke on the phone about the trip to the moment we docked back at the marina, every aspect was catered to us to have a good time. We booked a full day for our party of six guys.
Captain Dennis was at the helm for our trip. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable and educational. A true man who loves being on the water. He provided us with top-notch fishing gear and bait (Goggle Eye $100/dzn), making the experience even more enjoyable. The 1st mate, Sage, was great. He worked constantly without ever an ebb in his smile or tasks and was very gracious helping each of us with the poles, reeling instructions, and baiting and setting lines. We wish him the very best on his journey to being a captain of his own vessel.ย
Throughout the day, we caught several fish. Capt Dennis asked if we wanted to switch up our targets and rig things differently for other species, but we opted to gamble instead and kept hunting big sailfish (weโre not the guys that expect or want to put pounds of fish in the boat, weโre a casual bunch of amateurs). The boat was clean and spacious. The cabin was the perfect escape for anyone that wanted a break in the AC and made for a perfect spot for us all to devour our Pub-Subs.
THE REAL TREAT was sighting a 30โish foot whale shark basking and feeding about 6 miles offshore. A once in a lifetime opportunity. The water was as calm as a pond, so we opted to pause fishing and swim alongside the whale shark. It truly was a happy birthday trip. We immensely appreciated the captain allowing us to pull the lines in and getting us into a safe and manageable position to open swim alongside one of the oceanโs greatest fish!
Overall, this fishing trip was an unforgettable experience that my friends & I will cherish forever. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and thrilling outdoor adventure. Your mileage may vary, itโs the great outdoors after all and Mother Nature doesnโt always set the table the way we want, but for us, it couldnโt have been a better day on a better boat with a better crew.
