Had an absolute blast. We were celebrating our honeymoon and they made the trip easy and fun. We started morning off bottom fishing and caught tons of red snapper in under an hour. They fixed us up probably the best meal of the trip with amazing ceviche! They surprised us with a little bottle of bubbly to celebrate too! We spent almost an hour checking out the reef with them guiding us and showing us amazing spots. We saws tons of conk, fish, a stingray, sand dollars, starfish, and so much more.... More

my two boys and myself both caught fish.  Mahi Mahi were the fish of the day.  I cought a five ft long Mahi Mahi and the boys caught some two and a half footers.  I got a couple blisters from reeling in the fish but no complaints here.  We did the 4 hr 730am excursion.

Absolutely amazing fishing trip! Lucio and Leo were outstanding guides—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made sure we were comfortable, having fun, and constantly on fish. In just a 4-hour trip we caught around 45 fish, which far exceeded our expectations.
