⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captain Jorge! A Must for Families
If you have a child, booking with Captain Jorge is an absolute must. My nine-year-old son Ben and I chartered a day and a half with him, and it became one of the most memorable experiences of our trip, even without catching tuna. Jorge is patient, kind, and genuinely gifted with kids. He kept Ben involved in every little task on the boat, always had an eye on him, and made us feel completely safe throughout. You could tell this wasn’t just professionalism. Jorge has a son Ben’s age, and his fatherly instinct and pure excitement at seeing Ben smile and learn was truly priceless. When the tuna weren’t cooperating, Jorge didn’t miss a beat. He spent two hours trolling for barracuda and jigging across three different locations, mixing up the scenery and the species just to keep Ben engaged and ensure he caught something. The action was non-stop. We landed 5 barracudas and 23 other fish, groupers, dogfish, triggerfish, and more. Ben was in absolute heaven. Jorge turned every catch into a little lesson, showing Ben the different species and keeping his curiosity fired up the entire time. Throughout the trip, Jorge kept a watchful eye out for turtles, whales, and dolphins. When he spotted a group of dolphins, he changed course to get us closer. They approached the boat and curiously played around us, putting on a show neither of us expected. Ben and I were completely amazed, and it is a moment we will never forget. The magic lasted well beyond the boat. For the rest of the trip, Ben kept telling everyone how much he loved Jorge, his boat, and their time together. He reminded me multiple times a day to write this review, and he’s nine, so that says everything. This review might sound over the top, but honestly, it still doesn’t fully capture how incredible our time was. Jorge gave us a lifetime of memories, and we cannot wait to fish with him again.
Alex, thank you so much for your review on fishing booker. I was very happy to read your kind and nice words. My heart filled with joy to learn what you and especially Ben felt during the time spent fishing on our boat. It was truly a pleasure to fish with you both. I hope one day we can repeat it. A big hug to you and your lovely sweet son Ben. Jorge Tavares
