If you know and love fishing than you won’t be dissapointed going with the Emmanuel and its crew. The Crew- Algenis, the Captain, put us on fish using only his experience and knowledge. (And his phone😏) He spoke some English. Yordani, first mate, 19yrs old. Hard worker and great attitude. Very skilled in setting up fishing gear. His dad is a captain on another boat. Been helping on boats since he was young. Speaks very little English, but he went out of his way to communicate through his phone app. We had some nice conversations this way. He also showed us how to rig up the bait on the hook. Anderson- around same age maybe younger. Very little English also. Very quiet but worked hard. Seemed a little less experienced but never sat around when there was work to do.
The boat is old, which at first gives a bad impression. The fishing area at back of boat has an exhaust smell the entire time. Sometimes bad, sometimes very little depending on wind direction and speed. Also boat is not equipped with electronics, which I would like to see, but we were always within sight of shore so not really necessary for what we were doing. BUT… It was very clean and well maintained. There were no mechanical issues and we were put on fish almost from the start. It’s fishing, not a party cruise. The crew was excellent, the boat was ok, and the fishing was awesome even though we only caught 2 fish. One was a trophy sized sailfish that even had the crew excited! We had numerous bites throughout the trip and had one big wahoo on at end of trip that got off. I would definitely recommend fishing with this crew on this boat, just know what you are getting.

Emmanuel the Captain did a very nice job keep8bg us safe, answering questions and putting us on fish. However the star of the show was his first mate Luis. Crazy awesome and thoughtful dude. English was good and he really cared for us. He switched out baits often, and chatted and had fun with us. Highlight was he cleaned and cooked a barracuda on the way back. I don’t like eating fish and this was AWESOME! Best meal I’ve had here. Highly recommend
The experience we had with this company was great! They messaged us to change the date because the day we picked was going to be to rough to go out and fish. So we ended up on a different boat The Orion. They picked us up outside our hotel (not at the lobby, we had to go to front gate to get picked up). They took us to the boat and off we went. The captain was Manuel and first mate was Louie . Louie showed us how to bait the line and how things worked. They were both nice and happy and helpful. We were a group of 5. Some of us were sea sick. Louie helped them out with putting water over our necks and told us to splash water on our face and to do some other things to try and help us all enjoy the trip. We caught two mahi mahi. On our way back to shore Louie filleted one of the fish and cooked it up for us and made a fish salad. It was amazing!!! The trip was great! Thank you so much Manuel and Louie!!!
