half day of fishing on January 19, 2025

My friends and I booked a boat ride and fishing experience with Captain Jorge and it was amazing. I had never been fishing before and I was a bit nervous to be out on the ocean. Jorge and his crew made sure we felt secure and provided a safe and phenomenal experience! We had a blast learning about the local fish, listening to his playlists and we even got to see whales and dolphins. They helped us with fishing while also having it be hands on for us. The ceviche was phenomenal! Freshly made from the fish we caught! We chatted and enjoyed our day out! I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing fishing experience!

Half Day Trip Fishing on November 7, 2024

Four of us took a four hour morning charter from the Los Peines Marina on the Valeria I. We had set up for a couple days previously, but due to illness we needed to cancel at the very last minute. Captain Jorge was kind enough to suggest rescheduling for two days later and it worked out perfect for us. The crew who took us out were entertaining and experienced. We hooked mahi mahi, shark, and a large sail fish. Landed 3 mahi mahi during our four hour charter—two at 30-35 pounds and a 15-20 pounder. Had perfect weather and couldn’t have enjoyed the trip more. Highly recommend boat and crew.

7 hours - yelapa town & fishing on November 4, 2024

Captain Jorge made this trip even better than expected. He is awesome!!! Our trip was part fishing, part sightseeing-adventure (snorkeling, waterfalls, etc.) For fishing, our entire group caught something. We hooked into a couple big ones too but lost them. Captain Jorge is extremely knowledgable about fishing and many other things. He helped us get horses to trek to the waterfall; he even walked the entire way with us. He taught us about some of the local culture, nature-geography, food-drink. He took us to an outstanding seafood restaurant. Snorkeling was perfect. In between sights, we got close to two huge whales, and Captain Jorge even positioned us perfectly alongside a pod of dolphins. We started the trip ahead of schedule and finished on time. Our entire group loved the trip! We’ll book again. Thank you so much Captain Jorge!

half day of fishing on August 15, 2024

My kids and I are novices at fishing. Captain Jorge and David were great putting together a half-day trip that was fun and engaging for the kids. I have a 7 and 10 year old, so we weren't hunting trophy fish. Jorge targeted some Spanish Mackerel which were perfect for the kids to reel in. The kids caught 4 fish each and were thrilled. Towards the end, they switched us to live bait that they caught and provided. My 10 year old got to fight a Jack Crevalle. Lost it right at the boat sadly. But we caught another one right as time expired. So we got to experience the difference in the effort needed for different fish. The boat was shaded and clean. It was comfortable for all of us and more. We got to see some turtles and dolphins up close. Really cool experience and great people to guide us. We learned a few new things today and the kids said they want to do this again. That's a win. We will come back again.

Full Day Trip <Off Shore> on January 31, 2025

First, Jorge and Davide were fantastic. Spent most of the day trolling for sailfish, and had two solid strikes that didn’t take, which is more than anyone else we saw or heard on radio could say. I would have been happy with the day as it was, but then the two of them made sure we trolled productive Bonito grounds on the way home, and they put us in the thick of it! Would absolutely request these two again.
