Be prepared for plenty of sun and a good fight when you get a fish on. The fish are beautiful and have some amazing colors to them.

Great scenery, and good variety for fishing. If you want to catch mahi and billfish book a full day and get out to deeper water.

Go Offshore book on this site, do not book through the hotels. We did that on another trip and it was terrible.

Fishing in deep sea is always subject to the weather! Despite high winds & seas, still caught a good size Mahi!!!

Check moon phases before fishing. Full moon makes fishing really slow - not much the crew can do about that.

Just go out and have fun. If you catch fish every time you went out they would call it Catching not Fishing.

It was hot and if you have kids make sure your boat has a cabin with AC or a fan. :)

You take a tender from the beach to the boat. Have a pair of waterproof sandals. No tennis shoes.

Normally I believe it’s supposed to be very good, we just hit on a bad day. Very windy.

Wear more sunscreen then you think you need and drink water like your life depends on it.

I’ve never been any other time but we caught fish on our bucket list, so I’m more than happy

Make sure the engine exhaust is fixed. Might be a simple fix or something more serious.

Good fishing. Would have loved to hook up a yellowtail but sometimes they aren’t biting
