Great trip, even while only catching a bonito. Captain was great “Pepe”, and deckhand Christian, were great hosts. They cared a great deal about our experience, and trying to get us on the fish.

Day started with 4, but the very calm seas of 3 foot proved too much for the three novices. After 1.5 hours, we had to turn in to port. Which the captain gladly did without hesitation. We then set off with just myself to try after some billfish. We focused on trolling at my request, in an attempt to catch a trophy! I was given the option to bottomfish as well, but chose to focus on catching a storybook fish.

We set off promptly at 7, just after paying the balance. We were offered waters, and sodas. There is a restroom on board to use. I enjoyed sitting up too near the captain to catch the best breeze and views. It truly was a gorgeous day in the water, and the crew attempted every way possible to get us a sailfish. We had several bites, one bonito, and hooked up to a billfish but ended up getting away.

Would definitely recommend these waters for folks who have fished deep sea before, though the transit is only about 15-20 minutes to lines in the water. The crew has a good comprehension of English for non Spanish speakers, and worked hard throughout the 8 hours. Would definitely recommend again, and if I’m back in the area would book again.

We had everything we needed and had a blast fishing. Caught a wahoo, barracuda, and kingfish, as well as several yellowtail snapper, rockfish. Crew did an excellent job communicating and provided us with beer and water. They even turned out barracuda into the best ceviche I’ve ever had! 10/10 would recommend booking these guys. We will be back!

We had a great time fishing on El Patron with Captain Pepe, Christian & Georgie.  We did a half day charter on June 29, 2023 that started at 7:00am out of Puerto Morales.  It was my brother & I and four children ages 10 & 12.  The crew recommended that we do bottom fishing with the kids (more action).  Before we headed to the reef area for the bottom fishing, we trolled for about 30 minutes.  We ended up hooking a sailfish in that time!  After about a 30 minute fight, we had the sailfish in the boat!  The crew commented how lucky we were to hook sailfish in such a short period of time.  Afterward, we headed to a reef area where we fished off the bottom.  We primarily caught yellow tail and angel fish.  Christian & Georgie were constantly rebaiting hooks and dropping in lines.  A great time was had by all.  Also, Dramamine is highly recommended!  Thanks Pepe, Christian & Georgie for a half great day!
