Highly recommend!! - We had the most wonderful fishing and snorkeling trip. We enjoyed our own private beach with beautiful sea shells and tiny hermit crabs. We had kids with us and my 3yo enjoyed seeing the dolphins and jumping rays but the heat was a bit much for her so we cut the fishing short and went to the beach and it was perfect. Highly recommend Stuart, would book again!

A top notch experience - We had an amazing day - fishing and snorkeling with Frank and Carlos! After some fishing success, we were served freshly caught sashimi.. and oysters try right from the sea. We saw turtles and enjoyed the company of brown boobys flying along with our boat. The snorkeling in a sheltered bay offered a variety of colorful fish while we searched for octopus. I was especially impressed by the flexibility and customized service of this tour group.

We had a good trip and... - We had a good trip and caught tuna, mackerel, and a rooster fish. The crew was attentive and the boat was clean. The boat doesn't have a bathroom, but they will let you hang off the boat if you need a bathroom break.

Fun fishing with Frank and Juan Carlos! - Five of us went on a fishing/snorkeling trip with Frank and Juan Carlos. We went quite a ways out and caught some fish. We brought back a couple of nice tuna which they cleaned for us. Frank explained all about the fish and ways to cook them. They fed us some chips and guacamole after (really good!) Snorkeling was nice also. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Awesome snorkeling and sea life sightings - Frank and his partner were awesome! We had 4 adults and 3 kids and everyone had a great time. We caught a yellowfin tuna, saw a mother humpback whale and her calf, 2 sea turtles and went to a stunning beach where we snorkeled! The water was a bit rough that day and all the kids got seasick off the side of the boat, but everyone felt better after getting in the water. We should have taken Dramamine or something beforehand, so lesson learned. The food, beer and music were great! The snorkel equipment worked well for everyone. They even had a set that fit my 5 year old perfectly. We would book with them again. Pura vida!

They did a really good job. Because of some technological issue, we were actually double booked with someone else and th - Very personable captain, who tried hard to get us on fish. They just weren’t biting that day.
