Captain Adil was very accommodating and friendly the second I booked this trip for my honeymoon. As a New Yorker, I was a little worried booking something like this, but reading reviews and looking at some of the catches of the past I was sold.
The trip was originally set for a Saturday, but Adil reached out and said the weather wasn’t looking so good and asked if we could go Sunday. We had no other excursions booked so I said that was fine.
I was picked up at my hotel and had a very nice conversation on our way to the boat.
I met my captain and mate for the day and both of them knew more than enough English to make the day great. They told me it would be about a 2 hour steam to the fishing grounds, and we trolled for Marlin on our way out. Marlin unfortunately aren’t really in season in October, so I didn’t get my hopes up. Bernard and Mike told me we would be looking for the birds so I waited and eventually fell asleep on the way out.
Mike woke me up with a tap on the shoulder and I saw flocks of birds diving into the water…. I knew it was as about to go down. Within minutes the bite was on. We landed 15 Yellowfin Tuna, 1 Bonita, and 1 really nice sized Wahoo. There was a point in the trip when I actually thought my arms were going to give out… that’s how much action there was. Our last Tuna was unfortunately eaten by a shark on its way up, and we went back to trolling before heading back in. We just barely missed the one marlin of the day, but I wasn’t angry at all.
Overall… was the best trip I’ve ever been on and would recommend this crew to anyone!
