Communication was excellent. The boat was in excellent shape and the gear in good condition. Maxe and Ramone are excellent guides and talkative. We caught a huge needlefish, a jack, a mahi, and several bonitas. We saw no less than 10 separate whales, many were breaching and one swam under the boat! Beautiful day! We kept the mahi and a Bonita for dinner for the remainder of our vacation and Ramone used the needlefish to make ceviche while on board- which was sooo good! Highly recommend a trip with either of these guys. Will hopefully be back someday. Happy New Year!
