Fernando and his friend are passionate about fishing and enjoy sharing that experience with their fishing charter. He has great customer service and is willing to go the extra mile to make it a memorable trip. Anytime I got to the ocean I will charter a fishing boat. This by far was one of my more memorable trips. If you are looking for a fishing trip I highly recommend captain Fernando

This captain will work hard for you and is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Cheers to the captain and first mate.
Fernando was amazing! Ten out of ten would recommend going with a group of people very patient and shows you all the great spots for fishing
Fernando was great, both of them (captain and deck hand). While this isn’t one of the hot fishing months for the bay we had a marvelous time. We caught some fish, eat delicious fresh guacamole and had a couple of drinks. I would do this trip again. The boat was simple but very clean and well maintained, as was the fishing gear. As noted on the booking, there is no bathroom on board, and finding one on dock required purchasing from a business as they are only for customers, so don’t over do the offered beverages.
Over all an amazing experience. Do not recommend drinking to many margaritas the day before. Very seasick! No one's fault but mine lol. They were absolutely amazing very knowledgeable in fishing and the land learned a lot about the area. Caught some fish but nothing crazy big. Offered drinks and chips and salsa. Would definitely recommend to others. Had a great time. Thank you
The team was great and very helpful! Unfortunately Mother Nature wasn’t helping us. We didn’t catch any keepers due to several things, nothing that the team could have done anything about. We even saw other boats that didn’t catch anything.
I would recommend this team but definitely during a better season. The team still made the trip memorable and the weather was great.
Unfortunately we didn’t catch a single fish…just birds. Birds kept stealing the bait. Guacamole was good. Glad drinks were included but hard to indulge without a bathroom onboard🤪. Guides were great. Not a bad experience , just disappointing to not catch a single fish.
The crew was great. I got sea sick and they were great about taking us in early. Unfortunately we didn't catch any fish.
The crew was patient and great with kids. We had a great day! It was easy to get to and from the marina, the iguanas were very cool in the area, and the boat was perfect for 4 hours.
If I could give the team and this excursion more than 5 starts I would! They got us on fish right away and my husband and I both caught a lot! I know it's called fishing and not catching but the crew is so knowledgeable that they will definetly get you to where the fish are. They had a variety of beverages on board and they made us the best guacamole we have ever tasted! I definetly reccomend this amazing fishing charter!
Went out with this lovely father-son duo for a 4 hour morning. Sadly we didnt catch anything and our young kids werent feeling well. No fault of the guys. They were so kind, accommodating, and doing everything possible to ensure a fun and comfortable day. Would recommend!
Although the fishing wasn’t great to no fault of the tour guide/captain the day of the trip, the captain and staff made sure the experience was still memorable!
Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

We had a great time. Captain Fernando and his fist mate were excellent in every way. Great Margaritas and Guacamole! Caught a ton of fish!
À notre arrivée, lorsque nous avons rencontré le capitaine Fernando et son assistant, nous avons eu l'impression que ces derniers et leurs amis se moquaient de nous. Ils se parlaient en espagnol et ils riaient. Ils avaient l'air de se dire: voici des touristes nous allons les amener faire un petit tour de bateau...
Ensuite ils nous ont dit qu'au mois de mars nous ne pourrions pas prendre de Mahi Mahi, car ce n'était pas la saison. Suite à nos recherches, nous savons qu'il est tout de même possible d'en prendre même si ce n'est pas LA haute saison... Fernando est ensuite passé prendre des appats, puis nous sommes partis pêcher à la traîne pas très loin dans la baie. Nous avons tout de même attrapé un vingtaine de poissons (alligator fish, yellow fin et une petite carangue)Notre activité devait durer 4 heures, mais il nous a ramené au quai 45 min avant la fin et nous n'avons pas utilisé les appats. D'après nous, il les gardait pour le groupe suivant. Dans le contrat il était écrit qu'il devait arranger notre poisson et il a dit qu'il n'avait pas le temps qu'il avait d'autres clients à aller chercher.
Nous trouvons que le prix que nous avons payé était exagérément cher pour le type de pêche que nous avons fait, on s'attendait à plus. C'est pourquoi nous ne recommandons pas cette activité.
