My husband I and booked a full day trip with our son so we could have some flexibility.  We didn’t want to leave at 6 am so we arranged to leave at 8 instead. It was easy to communicate with crew via the app and they were great with directions and instructions.
Boat was clean, cooler was well stocked. Six lines were baited and in the water as soon as we got out of the bay.  We had a marlin on within 1/2 an hour of heading out. We wanted our 11 year old to reel it in and the crew was awesome about helping him land it without hurting it. Took some photos and released it.
We were incredibly lucky to hook another marlin about an hour later.
We opted to head back to shore early. We took a steak to one of the restaurants on the dock and had a delicious meal.
I loved that the crew did exactly what we wanted.
They were clearly an experienced team, worked well together and with us, and knew what to do to find us some fish.

Went out with my bro in law and nephew 11,  neither had been deepsea fishing before. I wanted to get them on fish and the captain decided we should start the morning trolling for bonitas and dorado. We had a bonita triple header almost immediately. We caught a few more and then tied into a dorado. Ended up losing it but the captain said it was foul hooked, not our fault.

It was quite rough so we opted for Sierra and Roosterfish next closer to shore. Ended up with 3 Sierra’s.

My nephew was doing great ( no sea sickness) so we decided to finish the day trying for a marlin. We had one circling the boat but could not get it to bite.

Excellent day, the crew caters so well to kids , highly recommend for a family trip, or any trip really!

The crew with blue tail was recommended to us by a guy at my work. We got on strip marlin within 30 minutes of fishing. We had to come back after only 2 and half hours of fishing, because my wife got sick, but we caught several marlins, mahi mahi, tuna and needle fish. This crew knows how to find the fish. We were extremely happy with them and hopefully the tip we left showed that, because they did everything right.

If you are not sure you want to do this or if you want to know if it’s worth the money, let me say by far the best experience ever! They were great at communicating prior to trip, answered all my questions and concerns, gave great instructions, everything needed was available, boat was amazing and clean! The crew was amazing! We caught 3 blue fin tunas, 2 dolphin Mahi Mahi and 1 8-9 foot blue marlin, we even got a visit from local celebrity sea lion “Paco”!  We saw several whales and dolphins. Many Thanks to the crew for this memorable experience!

This was our second charter on Blue Tail II and it was fantastic! Captain Ismael and Mate Jose were on top of it. We hooked an array of fish, most fun (and most tiring) were the three marlin (including two at once). We even got to go for (and catch) rooster fish. Everything was as advertised: lunch provided, beverages available, and schedule timely. They know their stuff. Just a great day all around.
