We had an incredible half-day fishing trip with Luis and his wife Shirley aboard the El Gato III! From start to finish, they were extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience unforgettable. The boat was spotless and well-organized, and they made sure we were comfortable the entire time with plenty of cold beverages and snacks on hand.

Luis took us inshore and used a variety of techniques—including trolling, bottom fishing, and casting—which kept things exciting throughout the trip. We caught a great variety of fish, and Luis expertly cleaned and bagged them for us to take home.

Their warm personalities, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the local waters truly set them apart. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend fishing with Luis and Shirley on the El Gato III to anyone looking for a top-notch day on the water!

Had a good trip with El Gato 3.  It was my family of 4.  Boat was a little crowded with 4 of us plus captain and mate. I requested to fish for roosterfish and snapper and thats what we did.  We did a 5 hr trip.  First hour we spent slow trolling live blue runners for roosters and no bites.  Next we moved to a snapper spot that quickly started biting.  We caught and kept 5 small red snapper for dinner and lost a few more.  After the snapper bite slowed we headed back to troll for roosters where we had one bite but no hookup.  They did there best to get us on fish and to fish what i requested.  They had sodas, beer, water, fruit and chips for snacks.  They were very attentive and I would recommend them to someone looking for an inshore trip.

This was absolutely amazing. We caught 4 fish over the whole day, and had a relaxing boat ride the rest of the time. Captain Luis was kind, fun, and when the fish started biting he and his wife launched into action. Everything was exactly as we hoped and we were so grateful for them taking us along. The pictures they took for us were incredible, and the mahi mahi we caught was even better. I highly recommend the Gato III to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing trip while they’re in Playa Flamingo.

we had a great time fishing and caught multiple fish that we have not had the chance to catch in the past. They were very accommodating and picked us up at the beach of our hotel. we were with a group that all hired different boats and we caught the most fish especially rooster fish which is what we were most excited to catch. The fish we could keep was cleaned and ready to take to our hotel to be cooked. I woukd absolutely recommend this trip.

We had an absolutely amazing time fishing with Luis and his wife, Shirley! They were both incredibly friendly and worked so hard to take us to different spots to catch a variety of fish. We were thrilled to reel in a huge rooster fish and even a massive manta ray—such an unforgettable experience!

Shirley has a great eye—she spotted a whale, and we were able to get close enough for a breathtaking view. Both Luis and Shirley were so patient and willing to teach us, making sure we learned new techniques along the way. The boat was spotless, thanks to Shirley, and they had plenty of fresh fruit and a great selection of beverages to keep us refreshed.

We will definitely be booking with them again. If you’re looking for an unforgettable deep-sea fishing adventure with an amazing team, Luis and Shirley are the best!

Tuvimos una experiencia absolutamente increíble pescando con Luis y su esposa, Shirley. ¡Fueron muy amables y trabajaron arduamente para llevarnos a diferentes lugares y pescar una gran variedad de especies! Fue emocionante atrapar un enorme pez gallo y hasta una gigantesca mantarraya—¡una experiencia inolvidable!

Shirley tiene una vista increíble—detectó una ballena, y pudimos acercarnos lo suficiente para verla de cerca. Tanto Luis como Shirley fueron muy pacientes y estuvieron dispuestos a enseñarnos, asegurándose de que aprendiéramos nuevas técnicas durante el viaje. El bote estaba impecable gracias a Shirley, y tenían mucha fruta fresca y una excelente selección de bebidas para mantenernos hidratados y cómodos.

Definitivamente volveremos a pescar con ellos. Si buscas una aventura inolvidable en alta mar con un equipo increíble, ¡Luis y Shirley son la mejor opción!
