Bottom Fishing on April 5, 2024

We took a private fishing trip with Ryan and Perry, and had one of the best fishing experiences ever. I would highly recommend both Ryan and Perry, because of the personal attention & Local knowledge that the two of them have. We had a day of fishing and caught many different types of fish. Their knowledge is the main reason that that happened. I would highly recommend this to anyone That wants 3 to 4 hours of nonstop action. Howard & Sara.

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 10, 2024

We were scheduled for 1/2 day at 8am.I confirmed meeting point and time the day before. After waiting 10 minutes at meet-up I called the number provided for Maria and was told the captain would be there in 5 minutes. About 20 minutes later no one showed up and they were not answering the phone or messages. 5 minutes later Jaime showed up and said the captain had been in an accident and that a new captain would come in 15 minutes. He also said the credit card machine didn’t work and we would need to go to ATM. After figuring out the exchange (booked price in USD) and going over that I had already paid a deposit as they wanted full amount - we agreed on an amount. After getting money out Jaime was no where to be found and I wasn’t sure if he was coming back. I decided not to go on the trip as I wanted to go to market after fishing and by the time we would return it would be mostly closed. My dad waited another 30 minutes before anyone returned. He went out about 9:30 an hour and a half after the scheduled time. The captain and crew were fine but they don’t schedule it directly. I would not recommend booking through this company.

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 31, 2021

I had half a day on the boat with the captain and his team mate. What an amazing experience it was. I caught 8 tuna fish in the warm Indian Ocean and it’s a memory that will stick for life. The crew is so friendly and helpful, regardless of your skill level. When I’m back on the Seychelles, I’m for sure back on that boat.
