My 3 sons and I had a great trip with the Captain, his son and nephew. We did the am half day trip and trolled for Maui and dint have much luck but then came back towards shore and caught a few smaller Spanish mackerel and one medium sized one too. Luis prepared some guac for us that was there best we had our entire trip. He also made some fresh ceviche with the mackerel that we loved. They even packed us a small ziplock bag of both that we shared with my wife, who is a very picky eater and she loved both too. Boat is a good size with a top deck for good breezes and views. The main deck has seating for probably 7 people comfortable and there is even a small bed to take a short rest, if you get sea sick. Decent bathroom on board, which is key too. Overall, great boat, great crew and we had a the perfect father-son bonding fishing trip, despite not catching the type of fish and sizes of fish we were imagining to catch, when we booked.

We are blown away by the experience with this crew. They deserve every ounce of recognition. I would book with them again, no questions asked! My husband and I love fishing and often fly fish at home. We wanted an experience like this as it is not something we get to experience at home. After getting some advice and reading reviews, we went with the tres amores crew. I’m so glad we did! They are a family crew that have many years experience out on the water. Even if you don’t end up with a fish on your trip, it’s worth getting to know the guys. I wouldn’t book this trip if you’re looking for a party on the water but if you are into fishing and want an authentic fishing experience, this boat is for you! They loved answering our questions on how they bait the fish and all the different kinds. We learnt the best fish for fighting and the best for eating. We got to learn new tricks on how they bait fish or use the bait to tell what the fish are doing. We learnt how each fish attacks differently. It was an incredible setup. It was so exciting when you’d get a bite and the whole boat would shift into go-mode! We all got a turn to bring in a fish this trip - luckily. The ceviche was some of the best ceviche I’ve ever had hands down. It was just as fun watching the guys make it. I wish I could of had more, it was better than some 5 stars. My husband who loves to fish but doesn’t eat it, actually quite liked it as well. We spotted whales, dolphins and learnt about some of the crews experiences spotting out of character wildlife in the water on their own trips. We got to sit on the front of the boat and on the top with the captain. They had coffee for us and water. Truly a great experience and if I visit Mexico again, we will forsure book this trip again! We also got really great recommendations to visit takos panchos and quickly learnt after talking to more locals that, that’s the place to go. We went and were not disappointed. It had a line up before it opened and it was incredible. All thanks to this crew who made not only our fishing experience amazing, but pointed us in some amazing areas to explore in Mexico! Gracias!

It was an okay day overall. The captain and crew were friendly and did their best to make the experience enjoyable. We headed to a reliable spot near the island where most boats were catching bonito and a few skipjack, and we were able to get in on that action as well. We also saw humpback whales, dolphins, and sea turtles, which was a nice bonus and made for a memorable day on the water.
That said, the trip did not fully match what we expected for an 8 hour open water trolling charter. When we requested to head offshore to troll, we ended up getting skunked. The bigger issue was the boat itself. It is quite old and only one motor was working, so it was very slow getting out to the fishing grounds. A significant portion of the day was spent traveling at low speed rather than actively fishing.
The exhaust fumes were strong throughout the day, even when sitting on the upper level, which made it uncomfortable at times. The rear fishing area was also very cramped with two anglers and two crew members working in a tight space. Additionally, one of the mates was in a full boot cast, and the interior of the boat felt dated and worn.
For the price, considering the boat condition, slow speed, and overall setup, it did not quite deliver the value we were hoping for. It was not a bad day, but there is definitely room for improvement.
