6 Hour Trip on May 10, 2024

We had an excellent time on our voyage with Javier. We hooked up early on a school of mahi and were triple hooked! The excitement and chaos were epic! We called the trip early because we caught enough fish and had the marina cook them up. Highly recommend Javier and his crew and if you catch fish early, take them to the marina to have them cook you up a fresh lunch. (Ceviche, grilled, and fried) It was all excellent Cheers! Jacob

4 Hour Trip on May 12, 2024

Water was a little bouncy but Captain and crew pulled it off. 4 smaller mahi and 1 huge one on the short trip. Solid boat.

6 Hour Trip on May 3, 2023

After catching 3 Mahi Mahi ‘s we went the next day at 6:30am instead of 8am. It started out slow but we caught a Mahi Mahi by 7:30am . Than around 8:30am a 80 lb. Sailfish hit our line and we landed it. About 20 minutes later the craziest thing happened… a once in a lifetime stuff when we hooked 3 sailfish at the same time. It was amazing as we all had a 10-15 minute fight to land them all. Another sailfish hit one line and it broke the line right at the side of the boat. About 25 minutes later a White Marlin hit the line and it was brought in with a pretty good fight.. it jumped out of the water about 5 times on the way in.. it was spectacular to watch. We caught 3 Mahi Mahi the first day and 5 sailfish , one white Marlin which is a rare catch and 1 Mahi Mahi within a 4 hour time frame. We doubled their previous record of 3 sailfish in one day. It was our second year with Javico charters and expect to see them again soon.

6 Hour Trip on May 2, 2023

We went out earlier the second day having caught 4 Dorados on the first day. We hooked our first sailfish about 7:15 am . Around 8:45 we hit a school of sailfish and had 3 sailfish on the lines at one time and we landed them all. About an hour later another sailfish was caught. We continued to fish in some 4-6 ft. Seas wanting to hook a Marlin. At about 11am another billfish hit the line, the crew thought it was another sailfish but I thought at first that when it surfaced that it was a Marlin. Yep, as it came closer to the boat we all saw that it was a White Marlin. They are rare to catch instead of the blue marlins that normally are caught in the region.After 1 Marlin, 5 Sailfish and 4 Dorados. We called it a day. A once in a lifetime event after fishing there for many years but I heard in Cabo’s San Lucas that a crew had 3 Marlins on the lines at one time but now we can say that we had the same experience in Puerto Adventuras, MX as well.. Great place to fish.
