Superb Trip

Full Day Trip - Inshore5 adults

I have fished on many charters but this was one of the best. Very fair price and a good safe Marina. Very nice clean boat and equipment. Had good selection of drinks on ice. Good snacks/lunch with fresh made sandwiches. Fishiing was great, started slow then the bite started. 18 sailfish total. Half dozen misses. Pure madness had 4 on at one time. The crew did a great job and was very prepared. Captain was very experienced. I would fish with these guys again. this was a full day trip. only way to charter a boat. We were 40 miles out. Only improvement would be bean bag marine chairs. Boat seats needed some help.

    Great sailfish trip

    Full Day Trip - Offshore • 2 adults

    Overall, we had a great trip. The start was not ideal with questionable communication. My plan was to fish sailfish and tuna and asked for recommendations for a fish processor. I was told the client takes care of that even though everyone I talked with and reviews I read said the charter should be able to help out. Also, the website said we’d get picked up at the mini price store. Incorrect. We had to go directly to marina. Not a big deal as we were close to it. After catching some baitfish for tuna, we began the troll for sailfish. About 2hrs after we left the dock, my daughter had her first ever sailfish on. About an hour later we had the 2nd one on. Decided to skip the tuna fishing for the better sailfish fishing. Landed 5 of 7 sailfish. The captain did a great job circling where the fish where and the crew was amazing. They treated my daughter with respect as a fisherlady and allowed her to enjoy the fight and holding the fish for pics. Snacks, drink and lunch were provided, including one of the best sandwiches I’ve had. The crew did an amazing job if getting us great pics and videos of the trip. Memories for sure!

    A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

    Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    What can I say… wow, wow, and re-wow! My boyfriend and I went on a full-day offshore fishing trip with Captain Jerry and his crew (Jose and Juan Carlo), and it was one of the most exciting fishing days ever! The mahi-mahi were on fire, and so were the sailfish. Cowboy’s team are true professionals. We caught at least 8 sailfish (at one point we had 5 on the lines at the same time and managed to bring 3 to the boat!), and we landed 11 mahi-mahi. I may have lost count because it was absolutely insane — doubles and triples happening over and over again. The Captain and crew were nonstop busy, and so were we! This is a day we will never forget. Fish aren’t always on fire like this, but let me tell you one thing… these guys know exactly what they’re doing, and they will put you on fish. I’d say: don’t hesitate — JUST DO IT!!!

    Full day offshore! Great time!

    Full Day Trip - Offshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    I did a full day offshore with my wife and nephew. We had a great time with Captain Jerry and his mates Juan Carlos and Jose. They worked hard to put us on the fish all day. We ended up landing 6 sailfish. Captain and crew were very friendly and accommodating. Overall, we were very pleased and would definately book with this outfit again. highly recommend!

    A lot of fish

    Full Day Trip - Offshore • 2 adults

    We had a great day at sea with the Cowboy crew. They worked hard to make sure we caught fish. I have fished all over the world but nowhere else have we caught so many fish. We managed to catch one mahi mahi and 6 sailfish in 8 hours. Fishing is about the sea giving or not. You can't decide if you will catch fish or not, but this time the sea was generous. Thanks to the crew for the experience!
