We had an incredible half-day fishing trip with Luis and his wife Shirley aboard the El Gato III! From start to finish, they were extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience unforgettable. The boat was spotless and well-organized, and they made sure we were comfortable the entire time with plenty of cold beverages and snacks on hand.

Luis took us inshore and used a variety of techniques—including trolling, bottom fishing, and casting—which kept things exciting throughout the trip. We caught a great variety of fish, and Luis expertly cleaned and bagged them for us to take home.

Their warm personalities, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the local waters truly set them apart. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend fishing with Luis and Shirley on the El Gato III to anyone looking for a top-notch day on the water!

Had a good trip with El Gato 3.  It was my family of 4.  Boat was a little crowded with 4 of us plus captain and mate. I requested to fish for roosterfish and snapper and thats what we did.  We did a 5 hr trip.  First hour we spent slow trolling live blue runners for roosters and no bites.  Next we moved to a snapper spot that quickly started biting.  We caught and kept 5 small red snapper for dinner and lost a few more.  After the snapper bite slowed we headed back to troll for roosters where we had one bite but no hookup.  They did there best to get us on fish and to fish what i requested.  They had sodas, beer, water, fruit and chips for snacks.  They were very attentive and I would recommend them to someone looking for an inshore trip.

This was absolutely amazing. We caught 4 fish over the whole day, and had a relaxing boat ride the rest of the time. Captain Luis was kind, fun, and when the fish started biting he and his wife launched into action. Everything was exactly as we hoped and we were so grateful for them taking us along. The pictures they took for us were incredible, and the mahi mahi we caught was even better. I highly recommend the Gato III to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing trip while they’re in Playa Flamingo.

we had a great time fishing and caught multiple fish that we have not had the chance to catch in the past. They were very accommodating and picked us up at the beach of our hotel. we were with a group that all hired different boats and we caught the most fish especially rooster fish which is what we were most excited to catch. The fish we could keep was cleaned and ready to take to our hotel to be cooked. I woukd absolutely recommend this trip.
