I had a great trip with Alfonso. He is a true gentleman and knows the waters like the back of his hand. It was a bit tricky getting a parking spot sorted out so we were 30 mins late, but he was super understanding (I recommend you use the multi-storey car park nearby - street parking is tricky if you donโt have the exact change). As to the fishing, the boat is well-equipped - we were trolling 5 lines. True to Alfonsoโs word, landed a mahi-mahi and a barracuda. Both were released (unfortunately, the mahi mahi was too small to keep, but thatโs fishingโฆ). Tried a bit of bottom fishing too, but the currents were too strong. Overall, I highly recommend Alfonso.

It was a family trip w/ the first time for daughters, one which is eleven. Seas were abnormally rough, but once settled in all got into a grove. Alfonso is a solid and seasoned captain who fishes about 300+/- days a year. He knows the area well and most importantly differential aquatic terrain, features, and sections for the various species an placement. He has a 2nd named Pancho who works hard and has a sense of humor to boot. Both speak English well, but not primary. The boat is traditional for the region and and well maintained and clean. All caught fish and Alfonso targeted/placed us on different species throughout the day. Beside beverages, they provided fresh fruit which was a pleasant treat. A good overall experience and would go again when visiting.

I had taken my two young boys and father-in-law out for a 6 hour trip.ย Captain Alfonso and his first mate were absolutely top notch. They were friendly and engaged with my boys the whole trip.ย We decided to only do trolling, although Captain Alfonso did ask if we wanted to bottom cast as well.ย We all had some luck on the trip with the boys each catching a Bonitos and myself and father-in-law each bagging a barracuda.ย We were able to bring the barracuda back to the restaurant where the boat was docked and they cleaned and prepared it for us right there.ย Captain Alfonso and his first mate even joined us for lunch.ย The experience overall was fantastic.ย I couldnโt have asked for a better time with my family and the crew.ย The meal was also the best Iโve had on the trip so far.ย I canโt wait to come back and head out with Captain Alfonso again!

Four of us took a 4 hour fishing trip with Alfonso and crew Pancho. Both worked very hard to catch us fish. It was a day after a storm so not much biting but we were able to hook a blue marlin that unfortunately got away.ย They didnโt give up and later we caught a mahi mahi. We saw another boat that was out and they didnโt get a single bite. We had two other hits to the lines that morning. Alfonso is very knowledgeable and made the trip very relaxing for us. Pancho worked very hard reeling the lines in constantly and switching out the bait, getting the seaweed off the lines. We would definitely book a trip with Alfonso and Pancho again.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review! Sometimes it can be hard to get a bite but we always do our best so you can have a good time. We are glad that you enjoyed the time on the water with us even if the biting was a bit slow! It would be great to see you again!
