Just WOW! 
We booked the 10hr excursion for the 6 of us - my husband and I, our 8 year old son, our 20 year old son and his girlfriend, and my mother. Quite the eclectic group! And some of us were worried that it would be too long or boring. Boy were we wrong! It was an impressive trip from start to finish!
The fishing was great and successful, Jeff was fun, helpful and knowledgeable. We saw tons of humpback whales breaching, sea lions, various birds, a sea turtle, and a large pod of dolphins!
Then, and this is why I feel
Like we got the VIO experience (but you can too), we went to Yelapa, cozied up to an on the beach restaurant m, had some drinks and then ate ceviche, sashimi, and fried fish that was cooked up by the restaurant from THE FISH WE CAUGHT!! It was the most amazing, delicious experience! Yes, that cost is extra and paid to the restaurant, but well worth it.
Highly recommend this company and going BIG with the 10 hour trip. Far surpassed fishing trips we’ve done in Hawaii

My wife and I love fishing with Capt. Gabriel.  His passion and experience give you confidence that he’s doing everything he can to put fish in the boat. This was our 3rd successful trip in a row with him.  Like a lot of people, we wanted to target marlin and sail fish but the water was too cool to be desire able for pelagic species.  He expressed his honest opinion that we’d be pretty much wasting our time if we targeted those so
we shifted gears and had an action packed day of catching jack crevalle, Spanish mackerel, and bonitos.  The other boats that targeted marlin came up empty.
I love talking fishing and strategy with Gabriel.  His English is excellent and he and his 1st mate make sure my wife is as comfortable as possible.
You don’t need to pay big bucks for a fancy rig to catch fish and have a great time.

Was glad to book this trip with very short notice, maybe that was a sign.  The captain (who was not on the board but just owns or organizes the trip) was very communicative on fishing booker before the trip started….once I realized they over charged me by $20, after the trip…(we did not catch a single fish, and I don’t even know that we had a bite) stopped messaging me on the app to my 4 attempts to let him know I was over charged, obviously putting a bad taste in my mouth.  After getting to shore and talking to a couple of locals they said, you have to go further out than the bay if you want to catch fish because of all the fish netting that occurs before the bay, limiting what you can catch trying to fish the bay.  How was I supposed to know this…so unfortunately, my son (age 10) and I had a $340 boat ride in they bay.  My opinion, make sure you paid correctly BEFORE you go on the boat…because after, they will stop talking to you once they get paid.
