Epi c Experience!!!

6 Hour Trip4 adults

Farther and son were exceptional guides! We (4 of us) got into fish right away and scored a 36 pound Mahi Mahi, a 14 pound Mahi Mahi and numerous tuna. Epi’s son prepared delicious ceviche with the tuna. We saw a mama whale with her baby and a large sea turtle as a bonus!! We took half the larger MM to a local restaurant and enjoyed a magnificent lunch. We plan on returning and will ask Epi to take us snorkeling and exploring his neck of the woods. We highly recommend this duo to get you into some great fish! You won’t be disappointed. Nancy and Stephen

    Great outfitter

    8 Hour Trip • 1 adult

    Had a great 8 hr charter today. Chuey was captain and Jorge was first mate. Both were great. No issues with English. Caught lots of fish. About a dozen skip jacks, Spanish mackerel, two large Jack crevelle, and lost a nice mahi mahi at the boat. They knew what they were doing. Both very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend you consider Epi Gilligan.

    AMAZING FISHING TRIP !!!!!!

    8 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    An incredible day with Epi Jr and the crew guy. We were incredibly satisfied from start to finish. A very nice little boat, perfect for fishing. We caught a beautiful big mahi-mahi to cap off this perfect day. I've had many fishing trips like this and I highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you.

    6 out of 5 stars

    4 Hour Trip • 6 adults • 1 child

    Our 2nd yr in a row and already planning a 3rd. Epi is very knowledgeable about fishing spots and helped us snag a 39cm jack caravelle as well as a smaller skipjack. Great communication and fun personalities for spending hrs on a boat together.

    8 Hour Trip • 1 adult

    Never promised, but caught a sailfish very early into our trip. Caught a lot of fish within the first 3 hours. Captain and mate were great and made it an even better time. Def would use them again and would recommend them to anyone!
