5 Hour Trip –(AM) on October 2, 2024

This was my first time fishing out in the ocean. Our Captain was Travis who was very knowledgeable and fun. He put my nerves at ease. Once we got out into open water, we started dropping our lines right away. On our 5hr adventure we got 21 fish, 5 different kinds, which was awesome. Since we are from out of state, Travis helped us get it to the fish processing place to have it frozen and shipped to us. We all had a fantastic time, highly recommend!

Extended Coronado Island Adventure on July 29, 2024

Captain Mike is the best! He is both experienced and knowledgeable. My son and I went out to Coronados' for a full day. Mike was in commination with other Captains regarding location and methods the entire day while implementing his own. My son and I caught out limits of yellowtail. Great time and forever memories. Will definitely go fishing with Captain Mike again. A+

WINTER SPECIAL 5 Hour Trip (PM) on March 25, 2024

Captain Mike took our family out fishing and we had a fantastic time! He did a great job of making us feel safe and comfortable. We got out to the fishing spot fast, but not before stopping to watch a pod of dolphins and seals traveling by... which was amazing! We caught lots of fish and ended up with a meal to cook later. After we had alot of activity, captain Mike heard there were some Yellow fins, so we tried are hardest to catch a trophy, but no luck. We loved our experience and would recommend it!

We had a blast with Captain Mike on the water and his attention to detail and our fishing experience was great; the expedient hustle of getting us baited up and set and fishing was impressive. The perfect mix of the music system and a fast, comfortable and clean boat where notable attributes that made our time on the water that much more enthralling and pleasurable…!

WINTER SPECIAL Coronado Adventure! on May 18, 2024

This fishing trip was really nice and fun, specially for my son first time fishing on a boat. Capitán Mike gave us a brief safety meeting on board before departure. That’s what I was looking for spending times with old friends and my son. Capitán Mike was really helpful rigging and setting the bait on the hooks, and by the end of the day he filet the fish. I’ll definitely come back for yellow tail and tuna. Also I will recommend this trip to Coronado Islands on a nice reliable boat.
