  unbelievable trip!!

  10 Hour Fishing Trip – Big Game on September 5, 2026 • 2 adults

  We went on the 10 hour trip. the crew was absolutely amazing! Captain Aires, Tito, Luis and Aires Jr. worked all day to put us on fish. we ended up with 12 Mahi Mahi and 1 White Marlin!!! everyone was so nice and friendly, but what stood out the most was how Aires Junior worked. i would say he is an amazing 12 year old boy, but using the word boy is not correct. He conducted himself as a young man!! He will be captian of his own ship one day. Hats off to senior for raising an amazing young man! They literally gave us the shirts off thier backs. We couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend!!

  Great Boat and Crew - fish were not biting

  4 Hours Fishing Trip AM on July 1, 2026 • 6 adults

  Captain and crew were excellent. They worked really hard for us to catch fish. The fish just were not biting. We fished 4 hours got 2 barracuda. Took my 13 year old daughter and her friend for first trip. Seas were not that rough but they both got sick. I have fished out of Puerto Rico before and had a similar trip where we didnt catch anything. If I had to do this trip over I would have targeted bottom fish and just fished off some type of structure. Of course if we had caught a marlin like the guy did who was sitting by us on the beach did the day before maybe a differnt story. A lot of the reviews say this area is great for Mahi and sailfish. They just eluded us today. Setting up transportation was also very easy.

  Great crew and nice boat!

  8 Hour Trip – Blue & White Marlin on May 19, 2026 • 3 adults

  Excellent crew and a well equipped, nice boat with decent equipment/tackle. We caught 8 small mahi-mahi and 2 barracuda, we just couldn’t find any larger fish or other species. Overall, it was an excellent day, even with the rough seas and huge areas of seaweed mats (which is where we caught all our fish). Captain Ares and his crew Tito & Luis worked hard and took good care of us. I would definitely recommend booking with Fishing Machine & the “Vitamin Sea”.

  Mahi Blitz

  6 Hour Fishing Trip on June 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  The whole marina skunked on billfish and most boats on all but cudas. Not us, we got 15 mahi and 10 or so cudas that were all good sized. Captain and crew worked their ass off all day and I cannot recommend enough. My nephew (12) had a blast on his first trip off shore even though he slept for 2/3 of the trip. A+ rating for this boat and operation. Our ride from Case De Campo was easy to coordinate and top notch as well

  Fantastic fishing trip!!

  6 Hour Fishing Trip on July 27, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

  We had an amazing trip on the Vitamin Sea. Pickup and drop off from the hotel was easy! The captain and mate were very accommodating and found fish very quickly. We caught a total of 9 fish including tuna, mahi, and bonita. They also cleaned the fish so we could take it back to our hotel. Top notch experience! I will definitely book with them again.
