Unforgettable time with my younger kids!

Novice Special3 adults1 child

My younger kids wanted to lean to fish, they learnt and they loved the experience! Nick the captain, was all the time helping us and taking care that we were happy and that we were fishing all the time! We laughed a lot! We will always remember this day and we will be back! The boat was clean and comfortable! Thanks for a unforgettable day Nick!

    Oustanding trip

    Tuna time local • 6 adults

    We had a great experience in this trip. This was our first time with Cap Nick and Glenn, they were very friendly, they knew what they were doing, very respectful and patient, and made sure we were comfortable at all times. This was a family trip with a couple of first timers, all adults. The boat was very comfortable, it never felt crowded. We had a lot of activity on the deck and there was plenty of room for all of us even when we had 3 jooked fishes at the same time, this happened twice, and the second time I made a video and noticed how calm and organized the crew remained on the deck. There was no chaos. The boat also has a kitchen, dining room, where we relaxed and had something to eat when going from an area where we caught big Bonitas, to another sector targeting other kind of fish. The boat also has a bathroom. We caught a nice size Dorado as well, everybody in the group had their catches. We were selective on the size we kept, once we reached the point we had enough fish to consume for the next three or four days, we started to catch a release. we have thrown back to the water at least a dozen of Bonitos, at least half of them were of very nice size. Thank you guys for helping is to create great memories!

    Yellowtail

    Tuna time local • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Nick and First Mate Jim are both patient, experienced, and knowledgeable fishermen who have a good sense of humor. They worked hard to make our fishing experience memorable and enjoyable. And it was. The boat is comfortable and well-equipped. It took us an hour to load up at the crowded bait barge. As we left the barge, Captain Nick said immediately that he was going to add an hour to our charter because of the bait barge delay. We caught fish, just not as many as we’d have liked. But we know fishing is unpredictable and every day is different. It was a tough day all around as the boats Nick spoke to had reports like, “1 fish landed, 3 fish lost”. We wouldn’t hesitate to charter again with Captain Nick. Highly recommended. 5 / 5

    Best captain and amazing time!

    Halibut Special Trip • 4 adults

    Captain Nick was extremely knowledgeable and we had an amazing time. First went out to try and catch some larger fish and saw a marlin and a manta ray. Then he got us on a school of Bonito. I would recommend minimum 5 hours to a full day. Next time we are going all day so captain Nick has time to get on the big fish. Thor was great as well. We will be back to charter with Captain Nick.

    Great experience

    Rockcod special • 6 adults

    I booked this fishing trip for my husband and five of his friends for Father’s Day. They all LOVED it. Boat is beautiful, gear is great, and the captain was knowledgeable and approachable. My husband was the last to catch a fish, but the captain wouldn’t go back until he did. Highly recommend!
