Great boat and great crew. Made us feel right at home. The inside of the boat is very clean but stay outside when the boat is moving or fishing, otherwise you will throw up. That’s just how boating is for the majority. The action was non stop, Bonita after Bonita, with a trophy baraccuda and a trophy sail! Had a hammer head that took me for a ride! Deckhands work relentlessly. They never stop moving. Unfortunately, all the fish we caught weren’t really the edible type. But that’s fishing. Overall, excellent experience and I would do it again with this same boat when I come back in the summer

Thank you so much Kao and definitely hope to see you guys again soon.
What a nice day! But start with the beginning: My first ever fishing in US waters. Experiences up to today only with heathy tackle (80lbs, 130lbs) going for giant fish species like blue marlins, blue fin tunas etc under support of a fighting chair. Stand up fishing wasn‘t mine regarding my size of 6‘6“. I tried to in smaller boats which made it even difficulter. So today something new and for my opinion it worked out great. With a captain like Nelson - fully concentrated - on what he is doing with his vessel, I felt totally safe and from minute to minute more relaxed and confident. His crew - Danny and Kevin - always in full control of up to 9 rods at the same time and helping with detailed instructions we could land after 2 to 3 calm hours in the morning 12 Bonitos and my first ever sailfish (caught, tagged & released) Everything on light tackle (20lbs). I can highly recommend fishing with Nelson and his crew and if i vome back to Miami, this will be my first and only address to go to Thanks for having me on board, guys. Great experience which will last a while.

Thank you so much for all the kind words. It was a real pleasure having you on board and I definitely hope to see you again. Even under sloppy Sea conditions you did great with the light tackle. hope you found it fun and interesting and do it again. With us of course
Took my wife and in-laws fishing for the afternoon and we had an amazing time! The captain and mate were very friendly and also had a great sense of humor. They were also very forthcoming with me that the conditions weren’t the best. (Zero wind or current and the middle of January) but they still made it happen. These guys really know what they’re doing when it comes to fishing. After leaving the harbor we went to catch some live bait with some sabiki rigs. The amount of different bait and variety of fish in Florida is just unbelievable. We got some blue runners, rainbow runners and cigar minnows off of the channel marker and I got to see all kinds of other different fish feeding on the chum bag. A big Remora showed up too so they rigged up a chunk of Bonita and helped me catch it just for fun. I Always wanted to see one of those in real life. We headed out deeper to where the Gulf Stream starts and we were able to fish very close to the harbor in 150ft of water, which was perfect since we only had 4 hours. The boat leaves from Bayfront Park in Miami so we had amazing views of the city skyline the whole time and there’s also some really crazy looking yachts to check out too. The mate rigged up 6 lines all with different types of live bait and After 1.5 hrs a little breeze picked up and we started getting hit. I got a Blackfin Tuna which put up a crazy fight. Halfway through it peeled off like 100 yards of line cause something started chasing it, but we got it into the boat in time. We thought it was a shark at first but only the tail got bitten off (perfect cause we kept all the meat) and then we realized what was chasing it. The captain spotted a MASSIVE barracuda behind the boat so the mate ran and got another rod and super fast put a new rig on with a live bait and tossed it near the barracuda and 20 seconds later it swallowed it made a run. The captain and mate walked me through how to fight it into the boat and I was able to catch BY FAR the biggest fish of my life. It ended up being 45 inches!! Then 5 min later we hooked up again and my father in law got to fight in a sailfish. It was crazy! this fish was jumping 2 feet out of the water all over the place and going wild! We got it up to the boat after about a 15 min fight, and the mate grabbed it by the bill and quickly pulled it into the boat so we could take a picture and then they released it right away so it wasn’t hurt. Me and my dad got to catch some crazy fish. The ladies got to relax with some sun and nice views and the boat itself is a gorgeous 60ft yacht with a huge air conditioned living room and comfy couches. we all went back to the harbor very happy and excited with the trip. We didn’t keep the Barracuda because the captain warned us of Ciguatera, but we ate the tuna that night and it was amazing. 10/10 highly recommend this charter!!

Wow you really know how to tell a story. Thank you for choosing us again and I’m so glad we were able to give you a good time hope to see you guys again.
Thank you.
3 of us did a 3/4 day tour with Captain Nelson, and we had a blast. The captain and first mate were both top notch. Within the first 20 mins we had our first fish on, and the action never stopped for the next 2.5 hours. All three of us got the opportunity to fight a sailfish, and we landed 2 of the 3. caught Bonita, mackerel, kingfish, and more. Was a great time and would definitely do it again!
Thank you so much for those kind words you guys were a lot of fun. Can’t wait to have you visit us again.
