Full day with Play n Hooky

Full Day Trip2 adults

We had a great day of fishing and more importantly a greater day filled with memories. This was my wife’s first fishing charter and it could not have been any better. The Captain and his crew mate Tom really put effort into making it something special for her. We did the whole day and I mean the whole day fishing. From the moment we left the dock till we returned we had lines in the water. They worked tirelessly to make sure we caught. We caught ONO and Skipjack on our charter. Both types of fish fought hard and made for some good fish tales. We worked and trolled all day but the Marlin didn’t want to play with us today but it wasn’t from a lack of effort. I would highly recommend this crew and charter especially for those who maybe newer to fishing and charters. They made us feel like they took an interest in us not as a client but as as a group of fishing buddies. Thanks for the memories!!!!

    Outstanding Fishing Experience – Mahi, Memories, and a First-Class Crew!

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    We had an outstanding experience aboard Play N Hooky! Captain Teoni and deckhand Nick were both fantastic from start to finish. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time on the water. The fishing was excellent, and thanks to their expertise we landed some beautiful mahi-mahi. Captain Teoni put us on the fish, and Nick was always there to help, making the entire trip enjoyable and stress-free. If you're looking for a top-notch fishing charter, I highly recommend Play N Hooky. Great crew, great boat, and great memories. We'll definitely be booking another trip the next time we're back!

    Unforgettable Mahi Mahi Fishing Experience

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    An absolutely incredible fishing trip and easily one of the highlights of our time here. Huge spotlight to Captain Teoni and First Mate Nick, they were truly outstanding. From the moment we got on the boat, they made us feel comfortable, confident, and excited for the day ahead. Their professionalism, experience, and passion for fishing really showed throughout the trip. They were patient, encouraging, and always attentive, making sure we had the best possible chance to succeed while also enjoying every moment on the water. Thanks to their expertise, we caught four mahi mahi, and each catch was an unforgettable experience. The energy on the boat was amazing, and you can tell they genuinely care about giving their guests a meaningful and memorable trip, not just a quick charter. If you’re looking for a top-tier fishing experience with a knowledgeable and dedicated crew, we highly recommend Captain Teoni and Nick. We are truly grateful for such a special day on the ocean and would absolutely book with them again.

    What a great day

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    captain Teonie and first mate Nick were great. The captain spotted a mahi mahi in open water, put on live bait and the mahi mahi zoomed past the boat and attacked the bait. great catch for the 1st of 4. We would certainly fish with him again. boat holds upto 6 guests. That would be crowded but they said they do it all the time. Irregardless it was perfect with just my wife, the crew of 2 and myself. It’s a fishing boat, not set up for lounging on fhe deck but we still managed to get alot of sun and catch some fish. Captain Teone did a great job in rough seas.

    Incredible day on the Play N Hooky!

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    What a trip! Captain Teoni has the gift - he found us Mahi, yellowfin tuna, marlin, and even a Hawaiian Shortbill spearfish! And Mate Nick was incredible helping us get them all in the boat and keeping us entertained the whole way with his great personality! Literally cannot recommend this crew more if you want to get out there for some great sportfishing!
