We had a great time with the crew. Very professional and respectful. Water was rough at the beginning but ended up getting on a nice blue marlin. Definitely would recommend and go back

Read the marine forecast beforehand

Lena_S, Feb 2025
We are all experienced fishermen and understand that rough seas happen, so that wasn’t the issue. What we didn’t appreciate was that when half the crew was violently ill and we asked to go in, they still trolled for over an hour and a half (and very slowly at that!!). It was 6-7 foot seas and we had some people who were just downright uncomfortable and it seemed like they didn’t want to burn too much fuel to get in faster. Guess when we saw the forecast the night before we should have just canceled and ate the money because at least it wouldn’t have been such a waste of a day…

Great day but no fish.

Great day on the boat. Super friendly staff. Only caught three fish in the five hours and two small keepers. The ocean seemed empty. Not the fault of the crew.

Family of 5 deep sea fishing and snorkeling fun

Brandon_S, May 2024
Transportation guy was great and when we were done eating the fish we caught at the restaurant on the beach, he waited for us. The captain and his mate were fantastic. Very kind and personable offering sandwiches and water and beer and rum. They take care of everything, you reel in the fish! We kept one Mahi (Dorado) and gave the rest to the captain and his mate. We also snorkeled at the end of the fishing excursion. I emailed the proprietor through Viator that we wanted to snorkel but the captain and his mate were not informed. They accommodated us, however, and snorkeling gear was brought to us and we snorkeled. For a family of 5-8 people this is a fantastic excursion value.

Great experience!

Great experience and captain and crew were extremely accommodating! Special shout out to Eddy who loves his job and loves to fish!!

Seasick and no fish!

Fannie_L, Mar 2024
Easy to book through Viator, great communication and pick up was on time and smooth. Crew was also very nice, only reason it got 2 stars is because almost everyone got sea sick 🤢 even with taking Dramamine prior It was also disappointing because we only caught one fish near the end of the 6 hour trip. The boat circled the same area for 5 hours, everyone had to lay down and it was extremely boring. It was torture. We had 4 kids with us who wanted to experience deep sea fishing and didn’t get to do or see anything. Not anyone’s fault, we just expected to have a different experience. Would not recommend for anyone who has motion sickness!

Great trip!

The captain and crew were great! Love the trip sadly the Mahi were not biting but the trip was a great memory and a ton of fun!

Great captain and crew. Everything...

Terence_L, Feb 2017
Great captain and crew. Everything went as described . They were all courteous and informative. And we caught some Mahi Mahi to boot.

The Captain and his First Mate were...

Pamela F, May 2016
The Captain and his First Mate were wonderful. I have never been fishing like this before and they ensured that I knew what to do. The treated my wife very well as she decided to ride along. They were true professionals and they got lines in the water pretty quickly. I was lucky that day as we caught two white marlins and a barracuda. The Captain was nice enough the take pictures of us with our camera to preserve the memories. If you are going to bet on a team that will treat you right this is the team. Thanks for every thing.
