  Sailfish surprise and a crew that’s amazing with kids

  Half Day Trip (AM) on July 13, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

  Had an amazing day out with our group — myself and four boys, ages 10-13. We landed snapper, grouper, skipjack, and even got the incredible bonus of hooking a sailfish, which was a huge highlight for the kids. The crew was fantastic with the boys the whole trip — patient, attentive, and clearly experienced at making younger anglers feel confident and included. The boat itself was spacious and comfortable, and the ride out to the fishing grounds (and back) was smooth and enjoyable, not something you can always count on. Highly recommend this crew for families or groups with kids — a great mix of real fishing action and a well-run, comfortable boat.

  Captain Mario and Issac On The Flamingo 2

  3/4 Day Trip on March 18, 2026 • 4 adults

  We had an amazing day from start to finish! The dedication and determination of these two was like no other. The fishing had been slow for days but that did not stop them from trying. Issac kept changing out lures and bait constantly until he found something that worked. They put us on a beautiful 100# sailfish. Our day was running out. When most captains would call it and head back in they fished until the last minute and we were rewarded with another beautiful sailfish. Thank you Captain Mario and best Mate Issac for a day we will never forget! A special thank you to Maria for those amazing homemade sandwiches!

  Blue Marlin!

  Half Day Trip (AM) on December 26, 2025 • 3 adults

  WOW what a day. This trip was the best i ever had. It started with the communication with everything discussed and worked out tight down to what kind of sandwich i wanted. Both the crew members spoke english which made things much smoother. We went out about twenty miles. a good 45 Minute ride. Lines weren't in ten minutes and caught a 100lb+ sailfish. Then we headed to their marlin spot. They fished hard no luck and the captain started to fish for live bonita and systematically replaced the baits with live bonita. It wasn't long until we hooked up on a blue marlin. They said it was small lol but it was 250 lbs and i was the only man in our group so it was all mine. It was a grueling fight of over 40 minutes. It was so strong i could only take back line when the captain backed up for me. By the time he started to tire i was almost done and thought i might lose the rod lol. The first mate cheered me on. We almost had him and he went crazy ripping back off 100 fr of line and putting on a spectacular leaping display fight behind the boat. I hung on for dear life lol. He eventually. calmed down and i got him back within 10 ft of the leader and i could not do any more. Issac then hand lined him until he finally got hands on his bill. no small feat. The fish fought and bounced him up and down on the rail but he hung on and then the fish finally complied. We got all the photos and sent him back for another day! My first marlin and a day to always remember. The power of a marlin is hard to describe and everyone should feel once in their life. Can not recommend these guys enough!!
