Half day with Captain Craig

Captain Craig and crew were amazing. They were very accommodating and made the trip a lot of fun. Great boat and gear, cold beer and music. I'd definitely recommend going fishing with them.

    Half Day Trip with Captain Oates and Shawn

    Half Day Trip - AM6 adults2 children

    Because the weather was lousy the first day we tried fishing, Captain Oates was very accommodating—he turned the boat around for our family and rescheduled us for the next day, which was much better weather. Although we only caught a couple of tuna, it wasn’t for lack of trying—Shawn had many lines in the water and tried several types of bait (our four year old wanted to catch a shark, and Shawn humored him as best he could!). The kids had a great time and these guys know what they are doing. Highly recommend!

    4 hr morning trip with Captain Oates

    Half Day Trip - PM2 adults

    We had a great time! The boat was well maintained and the fishing setup was very impressive. Micheal set multiple lines in the water at a time to increase our chances of snagging a big one. Michael worked tirelessly to swap out bait combos, live bait, and lures. He made it look so easy and reeling in was very exciting. He set us up for success in as many places as he could while our Captain navigated the waters. Our first hit, we had 2 Bonitas at the exact same time! We also reeled in a small yellowfin tuna with a larger, more fiesty and colorful one to follow. Within a couple minutes, another reel went off- a mahi mahi was the prize at the end of the line! Everything was great! They had cold beer, snacks, and kept educating us on the signs of good spots to fish and why. I would recommend these fellas if you're looking for people that want to catch fish just as badly as you do! Thanks again Oates and Michael

    Half-day Trolling in early Winter

    Half Day Trip - PM4 adults

    Sean and Oates took my family of 4 on an adjusted morning trip trolling for big game fish December 28. The owner Craig encouraged us to go early rather than in the afternoon as we'd planned due to seasonal weather conditions, and was flexible about the timing. Sean picked us up and took us to their secondary boat docked at the Luminous Lagoon. The boat was comfortable, clean, and appropriately equipped. The crew worked hard to find fish- they burned a lot of diesel and kept changing lures all the way out and back, trying to ensure we caught something. We boated a sizeable barracuda, and a 42lb wahoo. The crew was very excited, and filleted the wahoo on the dock so we could take some back to the resort (it was delicious!) Really nice, hardworking crew, we had a great time.
