Captain Enrique of Samaki Charters runs a great operation. The communication from booking up until departure was top notch. He reached out the day before our charter to let us know the forecast was for a windy day with rough (seas at 6’ at 5 second intervals) and asked if we would like to reschedule. We opted to go as it was not an issue of safety but of comfort. All four of us are glad we did! Captain Gabriel, along with deckhands Luis and Little Pollo are all amazing. From the moment we left the marina they were all friendly, approachable, BUSINESS! The day was a methodical targeting of larger and various species. We caught our first Bonito within 10 minutes of the lines getting wet. After we landed several more, and a few near misses, we stopped to catch some sardines and fish them amongst the bait schools. Then Bam! Sailfish on! After a great fight, my dream of landing one of these majestic fish was realized and this beast was released safely back into the sea. Then we started targeting Baracuda and Wahoo, with success! Fishing with Captain Gabriel, Luis and Pollo is like fishing with your friends. The seas for most of the day were as rough as advertised, and they did their work with smiles, jokes, and determination. And it was WORK. Work to stay balanced, run the lines, get the bait on hooks, stay on the fish, and haul the monster fish over the rail onto the boat. And when the seas calmed down in the late afternoon, Pollo got busy in the galley and prepared from scratch the two best Ceviche’s I have ever had. I will never book with anyone but this crew in Cancun, period.
