Great full day fishing trip November 3rd 2023 on the Black Marlin. Capt. Manuel and Orlando very knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to going after the Marlin. When Capt. Manuel spotted Striped Marlin out front of the boat and Orlando immediately ran to the bow with pole and bait fish in hand and boom FISH ON! after which Orlando high stepped back down the other side of the boat and transferred pole off to me and the battle was on. These guys know how to hunt Marlin. Amazing trip, Black Marlin very clean and comfortable. I’m definitely going back to the Black Marlin. Thank you for a great memory Capt. Manuel and Orlando! See you again!

Nothing but great things to say about about black Marlin sport fishing. Captain Manuel and his first mate Jose are top notch. Me and my fiancé told them we wanted marlin and they delivered. We doubled up multiple times! All together we boated 7 striped Marlin and easily had on 12+. It was so action packed we couldn’t keep track of how many we had on! Manual and Jose used multiple techniques to keep us always fighting fish. High quality equipment and a higher quality crew. We can’t wait to come back and fish with Black Marlin! Don’t hesitate and book with Black Marlin Sportfishing!

An incredible full day trip with my father in law and myself! Manuel and Junior were incredible… Very kind, gracious and professional. Manuel Jr ran all of the fishing gear while his dad drove the boat and this young man was great… His dad should be very proud! My father in-law had been on fishing trips before and never caught a thing. We were able to catch 10 dorado (mahi) and 3 nice yellow fin in addition to a few others. The crew tried hard to get us a marlin but were unable. Thank you Manuel and son for an incredible trip. I can’t recommend them highly enough and would love to go out again with them sometime!

Fished with Capt Manuel and Kevin on the Black Marlin on 7/21/23 for an 8 hr trip.  After getting to the fishing grounds, Kevin set out lines and teasers.  Kevin was great explaining how were going to fish and what to expect.  We raised two marlin and hooked one, but it got off fairly quick.  We continued trolling and hooked into another marlin and brought it to the boat.  We trolled around for a good bit.  Capt Manuel was constantly aware of the lures and changing lures to see what they wanted.  At 1030 we brought a nice mahi to the boat.  I could hear the Capt talking on the radio with the other boats trying to get a fix on the marlin.  At 1130 he spotted one on the surface and attempted to lure it with live bait, but we didn’t get a hook up.  We then got a double hook up.  The Capt maneuvered the boat to help keep the lines clear of each other while Kevin furiously worked to pull in the teasers and other lines.  We were finally able to bring in the 2 marlin to the boat.  It was amazing watching 2 marlin jumping out of the water behind the boat. This was a bucket list trip for me, and I could not have picked a better Captain!

I am an avid fisherman, and this was my first marlin trip.  I have no doubt his knowledge, skill and effort are what got us our last 2 Marlin.  I have also been on plenty of guided fishing trips to know the difference between a good and bad captain.  Capt Manuel is a GREAT Captain!  What I appreciated most was the EFFORT he put in to get us on the fish.  I watched him change tactics, lure combinations, locations and he communicated with the other charter captains to get it done for us.  He and Kevin worked constantly adjusting the lines to keep them at the proper distance and free from tangling.

If you want a great trip with a Captain that puts in the work and does not give up, you cannot go wrong with Captain Manuel on the Black Marlin.
