4.00Good experience. Caught 2 tuna and a Mahi Mahi. The captain is responsible and the first mate is an accomplished fisherman.
A Bad Boat Ride with no chance of catching fish

1.00This is the first fishing trip I’ve ever been on in 50+ years of my life that I knew when stepping on the boat that there was no chance we’d catch a fish. Drove around in circles for 4 hours and smelled/heard the diesel engines (loud) the whole time

5.00Just arrived back from our fishing trip on the Carla and found the whole experience to be spectacular. We had lines in the water quickly and Carlos & Rodrigo knew their stuff and added some fun along the way. My boys and one's girlfriend enjoyed the rain and waves along with bringing in a beautiful football tuna. Carlos filleted the fish up and we enjoyed some sashimi on the dock! Great trip and can't wait to do it again!

5.00If you are looking for a luxurious cruise on a super yacht, this is not your charter. If you are looking for a fishing adventure with two very hard working, seasoned fishermen who will put you on the fish, then this is perfect. Reviews that complain that you share the fish with the captain and crew and their families clearly did not read the description on their very clear website. The boat may not be the prettiest in the harbor, but is perfectly capable and we had a blast. Fishing is fishing...not guaranteed, but they will do everything they can to get you on the fish. Great job, Carlos and Rudolf. Would definitely fish with you again!
Don’t waste your money on this fishing trip they are very cheap, unfriendly and rude.

1.00Don’t talk freely captain will yell at you!!!! They reel up 4 hour old bait and put back in the cooler for the next trip. I rate this trip 1/5 stars.

1.00Only one bite and no fish. Did not seem to try to get any either. Would recommend going with someone else if you would like to actually fish.
Efficient, fun fishing trip

5.00Rudolph the captain and First mate Randolph were very friendly and made the experience a fun time. Randolph did all the lines for us to be able to fish. Although we did not catch the Big one, we caught three. Thank you
Horrible experience

1.00We had a horrible experience. The boat is too old, smelled like petro, not big enough for this type of excursion. The captain and his helper were not very personable and friendly all. We felt like we were imposing on them. I hate to give bad reviews but I feel like people should know. I wish we would have seen the bad reviews before booking.
