Chris is one of the nicest man that I ever met. If you are looking for a professional fisherman, you have to go with Chris. We didnt have the best weather conditions, but we still managed to catch a lot of fish. Thank you again!

Berto and his Captain are very good at what they do, and know the best spots. My family and I caught many different fish including decently sized Red and Grey Snapper, Amberjack, Cherne, Aranje, and Sea Bream. Only comment for improvement is that the equipment was slightly dated and perhaps undersized for trolling, but ultimately this made For excellent sport in trying to bring in the 30 lb Amberjack Tuna. Would fully recommend and will come back for a second trip in the future!

This type of fishing generally requires a decent amount of travelling away from land. You will be fishing in potentially large depths of water but generally chasing tuna or marlin type species that live closer to the surface. Famous pioneers like Ernest Hemingway made deep sea fishing and big game fishing very popular. For deep sea fishing large, expensive boats and strong fishing tackle are required.

FAQS Home
A fishing charter is a guided fishing trip where you hire a professional skipper or guide to take you out on a boat to fish.
On a fishing charter trip, you should bring sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, comfortable footwear, and personal items like a camera and ID. Aa cooler for storing fish is a nice-to-have. On most charters fishing tackle is provided on board (check this during the booking process though). Feel free to bring your own tackle if you want :-)
The cost of chartering a fishing boat varies depending on location, duration, boat size, and services provided. Prices can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.
Tipping on a fishing charter is customary and generally ranges from 15% to 20% of the charter cost, but it can vary based on your satisfaction with the service and locality of the charter.
Wear weather-appropriate clothing, including layers and a rain jacket if necessary. Non-slip shoes or deck shoes with good traction are recommended. Don’t forget your cap :-)
A fishing license is typically not required when chartering a fishing boat, as the captain or guide holds the necessary licenses for the operation. However, it's essential to verify this with the charter skipper beforehand.
