Booked through our rep at the resort. Signed up for 6 hour trip. Christian our captain and Enrique our first mate... were knowledgeable and accommodating. We made a beeline for where the Marlin were suspected to be. Was a bumpy ride but none of us got seasick. Once out there we hooked 4 of those suckers. First one went under the boat and the line broke. Second one was a big daddy at 93” and around 115 lbs. Later int the trip we hit 2 at the same time. One we kept because his mouth was ripped and he would not have survived and the other we released. Overall it was a great experience for my wife, my son and myself. Give it a try.read more
