Perfect fishing day!

Half Day Trip4 adults

“Fishing” may be called that instead of “Catching” for a reason, but on this day “Catching” would have been more appropriate! This Aug 31st was a perfect half-day morning fishing charter for me, my son Kevin, son-in-law Justin and nephew AJ. Rita was more than accommodating with the start time based on our disembarking time from our Royal Caribbean cruise ship. Albatros Captain Oscar and first mate Jimmy (Jaime) were wonderful. They were prompt at the pier at 9:00am and everything was as promised with plenty of food and drink available. All of the bait was pre-rigged and ready before we boarded. We were fishing minutes after boarding. Within 30 minutes we hit a school of mahi and had four on rods at the same time! A while later we brought in two more all about the same size of about 22” - 28” long. Then the big bull hit and kept us all busy for over 30 minutes taking turns wearing each of us out. He was over 48” long and a bruiser! On the way iback to the dock we caught two more of the smaller females to make it a total of 8 (2 each) plus the one big bull! We ended the trip with a lunch at the nearby Sand Dollar cafe consisting of two of the mahi mahi’s which Jimmy filleted for us on board. Thank you for a fantastic trip and the wonderful memories we will each have forever.

    Great time fishing!

    Half Day Trip6 adults1 child

    We would definitely recommend this charter! The captain, first and second mate were amazing. Manuel and the 2nd mate made everything extremely easier for our group. We landed our first fish within 20 mins of the lines in the water, and were busy with fish on all day long.

    Great Day on the Water

    Full Day Trip4 adults

    We started off our day on the Albatross with Captain Jack, Tony and Alexandro. The weather very questionable. A lot of storms and lightning around, but they persevered. Fishing was slow for much of the trip, but they worked tirelessly to try to put us on fish. The weather may have affected our luck. The afternoon snack they prepared was excellent with guacamole, ceviche, quesadillas and fresh fruit. We also selected to do some snorkeling during our trip and they took us to a fantastic location. The place they took us to go eat lunch was also beautiful with plenty of stingray swimming around us. Finally on the way back to the resort they did not give up on trolling the entire way back. By the end we did catch fish, including rainbow runner, barracuda and wahoo. You’ll be pressed to find a better first-mate than Tony. We would book them again in a heartbeat.
