As a couple, off shore fishing is one of the few things we have in common. We fish offshore in North Carolina. Booking a fishing trip while were in Bermuda for our anniversary was our #1 priority, as we book our vacations based on if it is a fishing destination or not. The Challenger + Card Family, was recommended to me through a local boat builder in NC, who met the Card’s while in Bermuda a few years ago. We excitedly booked our trip, and we are glad we received such a great recommendation.
The day before our charter, we rented a motorboat from H20 motorsports, and while we were passing through we saw the Challenger in the water. I am an extremely social person, and made my husband take us over to introduce ourselves. I get very excited. Ian and Alan Card were super friendly, especially as a strange boat with strangers on it pulled up randomly ;). We talked with them briefly, and set up plans for the next day. It made us even more excited, because they were so friendly.
Upon arrival to the Challenger, we boarded the boat and my husband and Ian quickly connected as they talked fishing talk. My husband can go on and on talking about fishing, so I knew he was happy.Throughout the entire day Parker + Ian exchanged fishing stories. We fished 5/21/18, and the Blue Marlin were not in season yet in Bermuda, but Parker wants to come back to Bermuda to fish with the Cards on the Challenger when they are in season. We trolled and caught wahoo and barracuda. It’s always an exciting moment when the reel screams and you hear ‘fish on’!
The Card’s tell you to make yourself at home on the boat, and I did feel right at home. They had beer, water, soda available. I helped myself to a full day of Bud Lights :). The boat was extremely clean, and well taken care of. 
On top of the hospitality, fishing, beer, the icing on the cake was Ian’s music playlist. He played the best music all day, and it kept surprising me from Country, Classic Rock, etc.
We spent a full day celebrating our wedding anniversary with the Card’s and would 100% do it again. I am hoping to fish with them in the near future again!

Killed fish all day. What can I say. Couldn’t have been better!

from the welcome to the very end the captain and crew treated us a unique Bermudian experience.  They answered all of our questions and made us feel very comfortable for the entire trip.  They know their business and we caught fish.  They were at all times very professional and yet very easy to be with on a five hour tour that took us sixteen miles our from this incredible beautiful island.  The experience and knowledge of this crew gives the trip extra umph.  Go with these guys when in Bermuda.

Ian and Alan Card gave us the experience of a lifetime.  3/4 day of fishing and they had us on the fish early and often. 13 wahoo and 1 blue marlin - who could ask for more.  Great boat, equipment and true professionals makes for a great day of fishing.  If you’re looking for a charter in Bermuda don’t pass on Challenger.  We’ll be back soon.
