Amazing day on the water with Gilbert and Alfredo!! The price was great for 2 of us on the Blue Tail for 8hrs. $200 less than other charters, and included everything; beer, pop, water, snacks, and lunch. Met them at the Marina at 6am and proceeded to the floating store for a coffee, then out into the harbour for a very quick bait pick-up. Lines were out by 6:45 and first Marlin was on by 7:10!! 45 minutes fight to bring in that guy who will be mounted on the wall in our foyer! We told them we wanted this and there was someone that met us at the dock. That only took about 10 minutes for measurements, contact, payment. etc. Next one was a nice size Mahi for me! Gilbert was an excellent guide and made sure you knew how and why you needed to do everything correctly to get the fish to the boat.
Next up was another Marlin for me to try and what an experience that is!! Mine was smaller and we already had ours so we released this one. Then another Mahi for my boyfriend. We considered the trip a massive success after the first Marlin but thoroughly enjoyed everything else the day on the water provided. Gil and Alfredo would point out whales, dolphins, sleeping sea lions and when we were returning to the marina we had bait fish that Gil used to feed the Pelicans and sea lions. I was super excited about getting to feed a sea lion! From booking with Juan, to getting our taxidermy, they were very easy to deal with. Communication A+! The boat was very clean, all the equipment was in fantastic condition. You could tell they took great care in everything. Highly recommend!
