Awesome day. Dad w 2 teen boys. We booked a half day that lasted from early morning to late afternoon. Got the bang for your bucks! Great fishing spots, not a really dead moment, super friendly crew. Exciting catches. We even saw a shark at the end of one reel! The eye-opener and really moving moment was after the tour when we go altogether in town to slice and share the fish! The vibe was so true! There’s nothing like eating and cooking one’s own catch. For us it felt like a true good experience.

TripAdvisor review – April
My husband and I had a great day out with Mahi Mahi last week. We shared a line for the day. The Skipper and decky were amazing ensuring we all caught plenty of fish, helping us with lines, giving us advice and providing us knowledge and facts. We were fortunate to see plenty of marine life and their natural environment. We will be back!

Trip Advisor- July
Great day out with a great catch. Skipper and deckhands were welcoming helpful funny and patient. Comfortable boat, great time catching a range of premium fish including goldband, pearl perch, cod and jobfish. Would definitely go again.

Best Day Ever

Was a little apprehensive about going on a fishing charter but it was the best thing I have done for ages. The staff and crew were amazing and we all walked away with huge smiles on our faces and I caught my first Red Emperor Yay! Winning. Highly recommend these guys you won’t be disappointed.
