Nelson and crew were great. Small communication issue as someone new to the area, you have to take a water taxi from shore to the boat.
Once on, the crew jumped into action and made us feel at home. Fishing was decent, one keeper, Dorado. A couple more were released.
Boat was in fair shape but the exhaust was too much for my son, he chummed the water for us. 
For the price, it was a great trip!

Terrific experience. Captain Nelson got us on the fish early and kept them coming in. All 7 of us caught fish. Sailfish to start and then Mahi Mahi to bring home for many feasts. Bento and Tony ( deckhands) were great, working as a well oiled machine and keeping us catching fish. On our list for next year.

It is hard to give a great review for a day of fishing where the only fish we saw was the ballyhoo used for bait.

However, I will say that it was not for lack of trying by the captain and crew.  They tried everything possible.

After getting back we learned that the week we were there was not the week for great fishing.

The other issue was that we were interested in catching some more inshore fish and all we did was look for the offshore species.

The boat is an 83 model and show its age, but it was comfortable, rode the waves and never felt any issues with the boat.  Would not hesitate to go in it again.

we had a grea time fishing with Nelson. he did a great job communicating with me before the trip indicating expecations, etc. the boat is as advertised, rustic. the fishing crew did a great job and tried their best to get us some fish, but luck just wasnt with us on the trip… we only got 1 yellow fin tuna… recommendation is to check if there is a full moon when you are planning to go.

Cpt Nelson knows the waters, the fish, and equipment. His many years of guiding and experience is very evident. I highly, highly recommend him. I am coming back in February 2023 and will be booking with him.
