When we arrived at the dock the crew had the boat ready to push off for a great fishing experience! Captain Ramon was very informative about the surrounding area and the fish we could catch. As soon as a fish took the bait the crew handed me the reel, I was already in the chair, and started reeling in. I saw the mahi-mahi jump out of the water and got so excited! Captain Ramon yelled he’s a big one. It took me awhile to bring him in but it was a great experience! The fish weighed 40 lbs., the Captain said my fish was a winner! After pictures the crew cleaned, filleted and bagged him. I can’t wait to share him with friends and family when I take the meat home. Great fishing trip. Thank you Captain Ramon and crew!

I liked the capt and his mate. Problem is he didn’t adjust to conditions. Red Tide was in affecting his customary circuit. We only caught one small Spanish mackerel in 4 hours. The next day we were in Puerto Vallarta and went on a snorkeling trip. Red Tide was also there, but when we were taken to a maritime park 1 hour away, no red tide.
Pretty obvious that the captain could have piloted the boat one hour from bay and there wouldn’t have been red tide. At least there was a good chance. We would have only had about one hour to fish, but we would have had a good chance to catch fish. Instead, we paid. $400 plus tip for a 4 hour boat ride. In normal conditions, boat probably does fine. But, it was pretty poor for us.

Our trip on the Lori III with Captan Ramon and his crew was excellent! The boat was ready to go right when we got to the marina and we were reeling in bonito and mahi mahi within 20 minutes of setting off! The crew was super attentive to our needs and even made us ceviche while on board. For first time deep-sea fishers like we were, having a crew that was so efficient at and knowing exactly what to do and when was essential for us having such a good outing.

By the end of the day, we brought in 5 mahi, 2 sailfish, and plenty of bonito. We also got to keep as much or as little as we wanted. I’d honestly recommend this charter to anyone - experienced or new.

This trip was a Christmas gift to my 14 year old grandson. It was not only an experience to remember but we also caught a 8’ Sailfish around 65 pounds. He will always remember this lifetime catch. Captain Ramon and his crew were constant in their efforts to please and made every effort to catch the big one! Thank you for the opportunity to meet and work with you.
