Captain Olter was organized and responsive. His crew captain Manuel and mate Miguel were excellent ship partners. My wife and I did a full day and saw whale, caught a marlin, hooked 2 others to fight, caught a grouper, tuna and a couple rabbit fish. Hooked a Mahi Mahi as well but didn’t land. I couldn’t beat the price and the experience. Thank you to Captain and crew for a wonderful experience!!! Pete

Crew and boat were good. Just no fish, not even a bite.  Went after Marlin not too far off the shore. Other boats were catching them, but we missed out.  Pretty disappointed as Marlin is a bucket list fish of mine. Spent 8 hours with no luck. Granted, I knew there was a possibility of zero, but still disappointed.  We did enjoy the boat ride and got to see Whales pretty close, dolphins, and the Marina sea lions.  My only suggestion is for the crew to target a different species if Marlin aren’t biting after a certain time period. I asked this but was told it would be too far to travel. I doubt this.

My captain Manuel and deckhand Miguel were top notch! They wanted to catch fish more than we did and they were totally professional and courteous! Our boat was awesome especially for what we paid. I’ve done numerous deep sea fishing adventures and this was my best experience so for.

This was an absolutely amazing and exhilarating experience. We hooked several Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and a bunch of skipjack. The crew worked constantly to ensure that we had the experience we sought out. We recommend this trip to anyone looking to do some sport fishing with an experienced and helpful crew.

Captain Olter responded almost immediately to the several questions I had in the days leading up to our trip. We met the crew at 6:30, Manuel, Miguel and Jose. A quick stop to purchase fishing licenses and some live bait, and we had 2 Dorado on the lines by 715. Shortly after we saw a whale breach about 20 times in quick succession which was amazing. Another Dorado and a Skipjack Tuna soon after, followed by a groupie and another couple of Dorado. Several other fish that were smaller and not included in the count. It was a great day on the water with a friendly and professional crew. The boat was a perfect size for our group of 6 with plenty of interior dry space. On the way back in to the dock, we picked up a sea lion on our rear deck and were able to pet him and take some great pictures. It was an awesome conclusion to a perfect day of fishing. I highly recommend the Ursula IV and its crew.
