Captain José and his crew make for a great experience fishng on the water. Altough we didnt bring the Big One home we had great half day trip on water. The second tour of my trip with this crew. With his full service package and a super fiendly and optimistic demeanor, a trip with “our Mary” is a must. We saw some dolphins, a whale blow out and other wildlife. If you want a guaranteed catch, Captain José will take you ground fishing where everyone goes home a winner. Only the trophy sized... More

Great day at the sea

VERIFIED

We had a fantastic day at sea with the captain and crew. Although we didn’t land any deep-sea tuna this time (which is part of the sport), the experience was outstanding from start to finish. When we switched to bottom fishing, the action really picked up and we caught an impressive number of triggerfish, which made the day even more exciting. The captain and crew were extremely professional, helpful, and patient — especially as I was fishing together with my son. They explained everything... More

Hi Mr Ivar thank you so much for your kind review. We always try our best to have our guests going out with a good day of fishing!! That’s how Big Game fishing goes, some days we are lucky and others not so much… Just the exact next day after you guys, we went out again and released a 550 Lbs Blue Marlin! But thanks for all the complements, we aprecciate it! Best regards, Captain José

It was a wonderful experience, we had many opportunities to bottom fish and attempt some big game fishing too. The captain and crew even prepared a whole meal for us on the way back to the Island (chicken, salad, and sandwiches!) They have plenty of iced beverages as well. Overall, it was a great time. Would absolutely recommend this trip and Capitão José!
