“My partner and I did the half day fishing and it was absolutely amazing! The Mahi Mahi weren’t biting as much but we still caught one and my partner caught a beautiful pacific sail fish. This was for sure the highlight of our trip and would recommend it to anyone!”
Abby W., October 2023
“We are beginners with fishing and went out for inshore fishing. We had an amazing time! We caught a Black Fin Tuna and a Mahi Mahi. My husband had a great fight with the Mahi Mahi – sadly it went away. But what an experience! Our guide filleted the tuna for us and we’ll grill tonight. We also had great view of dolphins and a sea turtle. Would definitely book this trip again!”
