Fishing with Marcel

Half Day Trip (AM)3 adults

The fish were too smart for us that day. Unfortunately we didn't have much of a fishing experience as the barracuda were too smart for us and kept stealing the bait. Overall, the experience was good and great for the price. Marcel was great at communicating before the trip...was very organized on the boat...and managed many lines in the water at once...we just weren't really successful that day. But it happens!

Response from Captain

If unfortunately the barracudas made a course to steal our bait, they were always looking for a way to get off the hook, if not we captured about 10 barracudas, thank you very much for visiting us and I hope we can go fishing again and capture the barracudas that stole our bait

    Best catch ever

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    We had an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Before we even arrived, our captain went above and beyond by arranging a taxi from our resort, making everything so easy and stress-free. The fishing was unforgettable—we caught mahi-mahi, and the highlight of the day was landing an incredible 250-pound blue marlin that took over an hour to reel in! Throughout the fight, he was patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable, helping us every step of the way. He also kept us supplied with drinks, made sure we were comfortable, and genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. We can’t thank him enough for making it so memorable. We highly recommend booking with him

    Great Time and Bucket List Item Checked

    3/4 Day Trip • 3 adults

    Captain Marcel was very knowledgeable and works hard to find the fish. We were able to land 3 nice Wahoo, while two other storng hits were able to escape, one by bending the hook and another by being able to spit out the hook. Fishing did get a bit slow in the mid morning but once we found the fish it got intense! Our group decided to come in a little early as well and Captain Marcel was flexable to our changing needs throughout the day. Afterwards we were able to get the fish cleaned and led us to a local restaurant to have it prepared. Such an awesome experience and day. If you want to get a real deal fishing experience Captain Marcel and Elimar Fishing is place to use!

    Incredible captain with brains and energy!!

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Marcel knows the local waters intimately and put us on fish throughout the day. We fought marlin and tuna multiple times and landed over 40lbs of fish! His hospitality is the best I’ve ever seen on a fishing charter, he had an amazing stocked cooler, Bluetooth for music, and a very comfortable ride for all anglers!! He will be my captain again when I come back next year!!

    Great fishing trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Marcel and his crewmate did everything they could to get us to the fish. We caught two mahi mahi and two small tuna. Unfortunately, we lost three more mahi mahi. At the beginning, a wahoo also bit. We had a lot of fun. Marcel also had various drinks on board for us to help ourselves to. We recommend Elimar Fishing Tours. It was a great experience.
