Although our family of 7 became a bit sea sick and unable to finish the fishing charter, we really had as good of a time as possible.
The captain and one crew mate were very friendly, and helpful. When they saw we were not doing so well, they cared for us as much as they could by checking on us, offering waters, trying to steal the boat out of some of the huge waves and even cleaning out vomit buckets with a smile lol
The boat was comfortable, ran properly and they offered as advertised light snack and drinks. They had soda, water, beer and rum. I could not imagine drinking and rum while sea sick so I bet they save lots on that :) They also offered a fruit tray that was nice and cold and sealed.
When returning us they offered to take us to go snorkeling or swimming in shallow ocean waters since we still had time in our reservation. Some of the family wanted to go back to the condo and others wanted to swim. They had no problem what so ever dropping some off at the condo and then returning us back for swimming.
The two people working on the boat, speak pretty good English, I do have some Spanish speaking skills very little but some that helped and talking with them was very easy.
They happen to be located at jellyfish restaurant and for us that was very convenient because we happen to be staying at that location, we did not know this when we booked. So we did not need their transportation but they offered it with ease. It was a great time, sea sick and all. The water was beautiful, I never seen such deep dark blue water and it was a memory I will have for a lifetime. The crew won’t be forgotten either. Absolutely recommend

Francisco treated us great with Roundtrip transportation for our fishing charter and the crew was friendly. We ended up catching 9 mahi and 8 baracuda. I highly recommend.

We booked the nine hour excursion. It was a beautiful day and the boat ride was very enjoyable. They had lots of snacks and sandwiches on the boat for us. Guy and Carlos were great. Unfortunately, the fish weren’t biting, but we were still able to catch 3 barracudas. They were very accommodating and made sure we had a great time.

A lot of family fun! Both guys were great! Smoke English and Spanish. We caught 4 fish. We did afternoon tour!

This was the second time I’ve used this boat and crew
They are so friendly and knowledgeable
We didn’t manage to catch the target species ( marlin ) however on the previous trip we did
We still caught 33 mahi mahi and a couple of barracudas
Great trip
I’ll be back

Great experience. The captain and first mate were fantastic! We caught 5 fish during our time which was more than we expected. Definitely would do this again.
Scott_B, Jul 2025
Th driver was half hour late but there a communication error with directions and they made it up with little extra time on water. Guide and captain were amazing , it was a rough start boring , then we ended up catching 4 Mahi mahi and had fun. The good Viator rep referred to us to local restaurant to have our fish cleaned and cooked, Cielo is tha name of the place . Bunch crooks turned what shoudl have been 152$ for food and water for 7 imto $200. Total scam so here is what you do , before you leave resort check with your resort and ask if you can bring cleaned fish back to have it cooked there! Some will some won’t! Do not fall for the oh it’s only $20 per person to have it cleaned and cooked at beach . Also it’s a trolling fishing trip so
They never stop moving just do not expect to go far out and settle in and fish and move on. Overall nice people and fun experience

Francisco was there to meet us at the van drop-off. He speaks English very well and was able to help us gain access to a hotel's bathroom on the very short walk to the boat.
Once we arrived, Francisco assessed it was not in our best interest to go out that day. He noticed one of our family members not getting around very well with his walker, and the water was fairly choppy that day. Since there is no pier, you must take a smaller boat to the the fishing boat and transition. He said he would still take us but would strongly recommend against it given the shape of our family member.
I'm sure Francisco lost a decent amount of money by turning us away and issuing a full refund. We truly appreciate your assessment and honesty in keeping our family safe- thanks again, Francisco!

A person can find out quickly if they are a a deep sea fisherman quickly when there are 15-20ft swells. Unfortunately, our family is not - lol. However, Eguy (spelling unknown), was so incredibly helpful. There were four of us, and 3 were down. He was right there handing us what we needed to survive and when we said no more, they took us to a great spot to just swim and jump in. Unfortunately no fish, but we were all ok with that and our boat captain and guide made it all worth it. So if you can rock the boat, go. If not, just stay home.
Kevin_S, Mar 2025
Completely unprofessional
Took almost 3 hours and multiple attempts to have tour operator return communication about pick up time on the day of the excursion.
Pick up time was half hour late from the start of the excursion.
Half hour shuttle ride
Waited over half hour on beach for captain and crew.
1.5 hrs Total behind schedule.
2 hours on the water trolling around with all the fishing lures skipping along the top of the water
Only 2 small fish caught.
Than drove in circle for half hour while one crew member threw a line out trying to snag something near the beach. One small yellow fish caught.
Crew was NOT fluent in English
Crew sat on back of boat and chatted while our group was bored and falling asleep.
Only water and few beers available no rum.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
We are very sorry that our fishing trip did not meet your expectations, although we caught some fish. As for drinks, we had rum, Coca-Cola, beers, bottles of water, and nachos with salsa. Pickup was on time. We contacted you and told you it would be at 1:30 p.m., and you agreed. We fished for four hours. We always respond to our customers, even though the Viator app says it's an instant booking and I don't have to do anything. Once again, I am very sorry that you did not like the fishing. I hope you have a better experience next time. Thank you!

The pickup shuttle was excellent, as far as the boat and fishing goes not so much. Only 1 engine was running, and not very good. Was rolling coal (black smoke) the entire time. We are all heavy equipment operators and are accustomed to diesels very well, this was terrible though. The smoke was blowing in the boat the entire trip and was nauseating, we had then turn around 2 hours into a 6 hour trip. They were trolling the baits about 30-50 feet behind the boat. That is way too close. As you can imagine we didn’t catch doing that. Was definitely not the experience we had hoped for.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
We are very sorry that your experience was not pleasant. Our boat has 2 engines and unfortunately one had a failure and the captain decided to turn it off, but that did not affect your fishing activity, that is why we have 2 engines in case one fails we will continue sailing without any problems. Regarding the smoke we will pay attention to that point once again. We are very sorry for your bad experience. We hope that next time you can have a better experience. Thank you very much for choosing us.
Lindsay_A, Feb 2025
The guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable of the area. We had a wonderful time! We didn’t catch anything (which was ok actually) but we saw whales! It was an incredible experience and I highly recommend!
Samantha_B, Jan 2025
Crew was amazing! Handled my daughters getting sea sick very well! Captain and crew deserve 5 stars!
Megan_V, Jan 2025
So worth the money, and the unforgettable experience with family! When we got to the fishing location it was a little sketchy looking, but right beyond the deserted opening was a beautiful white sand beach. We took a small dingy boat to get out to the fishing boat. Recommend bringing anything you want to in a backpack for ease of travel. Just for warning, you have to crawl up out of the dingy boat and get pulled/jump onto the fishing boat with the help of the crew. With my dad having back issues we knew this wasn’t going to work for him. We had a phenomenal day of fishing, catching 9 mahi-mahi within the 4 hour morning trip we took. One person in our group did get sea sick from the motor fumes but obviously no fault of the crew, and they were great with helping assist her. Make sure to take the Dramamine before going!

Caught a very large Mahi Mahi, we felt that the lures needed replacing, they were well used. Otherwise the rest of the experience was good.
Response from Host, Nov 2024

Such a fun family experience and they provided drinks and snacks … everyone was very helpful when it came to reeling in our catch. The staff fillet some mahi mahi and we ate it at a local restaurant right after we got off the boat!

The entire trip was truly amazing! It was great from booking the trip, getting situated with the boat and making it out there to the fishing spot. The crew really helped us out when we got hooked onto a very large blue marlin! They were amazing to help us the entire one hour fight to reel in a monster marlin! The guides really helped us out a lot when the marlin started to get closer to the boat! I can’t recommend the entire crew and charter service enough! We caught two other small Mahi Mahi fish and they were great with those as well. Our trip was four hours which did not include to fruit with it, but they were kind enough to bring fruit for us anyway. We were very pleased with our experience and would recommend to anyone!

The captain and 1st Mate were amazing.
Knowledgeable and great to hang out with during the excursion.
Casey_C, Mar 2024
We had a wonderful time and even caught Mahi Mahi that we at for dinner that night. The guides were wonderful and they were especially helpful when one person in our group felt a little seasick. I highly recommend this!
Shari_S, Dec 2023
We had a nice day fishing with the crew. The water was quite rough so we did have one passenger get sea sick. The crew were very helpful and attentive dealing with this. There is also an inside cabin with a nice place to lie down if you are not feeling well. We fished for 6 hours. The fishing was slow so we only caught 2 yahoo and 1 Mahi Mahi. Overall, the trip was good. I would recommend to others without hesitation.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you very much for your comment and rating, we are sorry that one of you has become a little sick.
Despite everything, we are glad that you had a pleasant day of fishing and caught some fish.
Thank you so much.
Paige_S, Sep 2023
We had a blast with our captain and 1st mate! This trip was our honeymoon and it was perfect! My husband caught a 40” Mahi Mahi and I caught a 42” Barracuda! Definitely worth it!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you very much for your comment, we are very happy that you had a good time with us, congratulations on your great capture, we hope to see you soon.
Craig_A, Mar 2023
Started out fast by catching a Baracuda, then nothing for over 3 hours. Patience is a virtue as we caught a Huge White Marlin!!!! Highly recommend, but bring snacks. Drinks were provided but no food.
