We had a great time on the 9 hr big marlin fishing trip today. Caught a lot of mahi mahi and had a blast even in rough seas. The only downfall was that there were not snacks and lunch was a build your own sandwich w options of bun, tomatoes, mayo and turkey. No snacks were provided as promised. Toilet required user to bag their own poo and we were never offered to have our fish fileted to take home. Overall we still had a blast and caught plenty of mahi mahi, was hoping for a marlin but was told by crew marlin are in off season at the moment. Thanks for the fun time.

3/4 day charter. Forecast was 5-6 footers. But we’re much bigger. More like 10-12 when we finally got out there. Guys made the trip as comfortable as possible. We did hook up with a group of mahi mahi and one of us hooked a wahoo. Great day of fishing. Followed by us goi g to shore and having one of the fish prepared at mama Juana’s on the beach. Freshest lunch I have ever had. Great day. Great group of guys. Highly recommend and we will be booking with Fortuna again next time down for sure.
Didn’t catch any fish. They tell you “fishing is fishing. Fishes aren’t guaranteed”. Did the afternoon trip and maybe that was not a good time to go. From my observation, the lures were in the wake of the boat and virtually on the surface. No downriggers were used. Few of us got sea sick and they gave us napkins and water. Crew was nice, spoke minimal english. After 2 hours of riding around we lost hope of catching fish and decided to call it and rode back for an hour.
Had a great day with the captain and first mate. Good transportation to and from the hotel to the marina. Crew was super helpful and ensuring we had lines in the water, focusing on both the fish and what we needed. Late in the day we ran into seaweed and spent a bit of time keeping lines clear - that’s fishing…. We caught 5 dorado and 1 barracuda. A bill fish was there we just could not get the hookup. Good communication skills all around. Well worth it., Thanks gentleman.
Trip of a lifetime for my family that we will always remember. Got to see my son catch a monster King, which was by far way bigger than anything he has caught in his life. The seas were pretty rough but our Captain and 1st Mate were top notch. Definitely recommend and will use again on our next trip.
