It’s hard to overstate how awesome this bucket list fishing trip was. The boat was immaculate and a perfect size for our party of 6. Captain Ezequiel and his mates Nanu and Framer were consummate pros, and we had a fishing experience we could’ve only hoped for for our group of two dads, one mom, and three teenage boys.
After running out a ways, we snagged a bunch of bonito to use as bait for tuna fishing. Captain then quickly ran to a hot Yellowfin Tuna bite and we landed two massive yellowfins - 46” and 54” - after really good fights. With the cooler more than stocked with filtered tuna loins, we set out for our main goal — a billfish.
Within 30minutes of trolling, we landed our first Pacific sailfish. By 2pm all six of us on the boat had each had the thrill of getting a 7ft+ sailfish to the boat.
Mate Nanu coached all of us, and especially the boys when they had their fish on—giving them the confidence and direction to stick it out and land their trophies. Mate Farmer killed it as well, with the addition of preparing watermelon, pinapple, and fresh seared tuna sandwiches and restaurant quality tuna carpaccio right on the boat.

Dear Jacob: You guys are great fishermen!!! You did a great job reeling those heavy tuna… they can give a fight and it takes serious energy to bring them on board. Plus, the billfish you caught put the cherry on top. The crew had a wonderful time with you and your guests. We truly appreciate your nice words. We will be very happy to fish with you again in the future. All the best, Dream Maker team.
