In a good way, careful what you ask for

3/4 Day Trip2 adults

Went out with Daniel and Johnny on 2/7/26. Daniel wanted to leave an hour early, which I like. we were out on the fishing grounds way before everyone else. Started off with Skipjacks, trying to pick yellowfin out of the schools. Ended up with one Yellowfin. My buddy asked to catch bigger fish, immediately hooked into a nice Sail. Did some jigging for red snapper, then went for Cabrera. Hooked into a massive Bull Shark while fishing the bottom for Cabrera, we wanted bigger fish and got it. Daniel put us on the fish and Johnny is uncanny at hooking up. Pura Vida!

    BEST FISHING TRIP I HAVE BEEN ON!

    4 Hour Trip (AM)2 adults

    Caught the BIGGEST FISH of my life on this charter. The captain and crew was very friendly, attentive, and well educated. My wife and I fish all the time back home, but nothing like what we caught on this charter. I really suggest anyone looking for an exceptional experience and to catch some BIG FISH and nice fish to eat after the trip you should look no further and book with them. Thanks again for an unforgettable experience.

    Mission Accomplished!

    4 Hour Trip (AM)2 adults

    We wanted to catch fish to eat. Johnny and Joseph had us on fish with the first line down once we got to their first spot. Mission accomplished! The boat is modest but that is exactly what we chose and expected. We prefer to be able to touch the water and their style of boat allows for that. The rods and reels were top notch and worked smoothly. The crew, Johnny and Joseph, were expert at their craft. The wind and waves kicked up some while we were out and they handled the conditions expertly, all while fishing at the same time. We caught plenty of snapper and grouper to feed our families within the first hour of our half-day trip. We then switched to trolling for trophy fish. Even though that approach didn’t produce fish it was great to have time to try. I appreciated the care both Johnny and Joseph showed for the fish we caught but weren’t keepers. They took the time to make sure each fish released was able to swim away under its own power. I recommend Maryola Tours. I will definitely book another trip with them!

    Daniel and Jonny were awesome!

    3/4 Day Trip3 adults1 child

    We had an amazing time and we caught fish! The boat in good condition, had food, drinks, and a good time. We went out early for the tuna bite, and we caught several yellowfins and skipjacks on spin reels. Then we went for snapper and caught four on a jigging setup. Then caught a bull shark because my son asked to catch a shark, I thought they were kidding when they said yes, but that made his day!. We finished with trolling for mahi, but they weren't biting that day. When we got off the boat we had plenty of fish for lunches and dinner for a few days. I will be looking them up again when we go back.

    Once In a Lifetime

    3/4 Day Trip1 adult

    Iwas offered an earlier time than the original but I believe fate had it that way. Not even 3 mins into our trip, including ride time, I was hooked into beautiful sailfish. Then not too long after I reeled i a nice yellow fin tuna, my dinner that night. These guys made this trip extra special and memorable. I'd highly recommend them if you're looking for a great day fishing!
