An amazing trip! 3 couples set out for a 6-hour experience on the Sea of Cortez - we were not disappointed...caught 2 marlins, one of which was the largest catch of our lives at 150 pounds. Jaime was great, he set us up quick and easy. Got our fishing licenses at the marina on the morning of our trip. Coming back again next year...

We were really looking forward to this trip. The coordination was perfect but when we got to the marina it was quite disorganized and confusing. The driver had to call someone to come to site and have us pay for our bait and licenses which we did not receive anything for and our credit card just shows the persons name, not the company.

We then proceeded to the boat and two individuals greeted us. We were a family of four with no experience and nothing was explained to us. There was very limited communication throughout the six hours. At one point they stopped at a site to fish but that included the two of them fishing with nothing communicated to us. We were in rough waters waiting what felt like, to catch their own dinner. We finally had to ask to leave the area. When we came across whales and wanted to watch there was no option they continued to their destination.

In the end we caught one tuna and two Maui mahi and were able to see and take a picture with two of them. Then the last they just threw in the cooler.

From a safety perspective there was black smoking coming from the engine, no instruction of boat, no life jackets that we know of, etc.

When we arrived back our transportation was waiting. Smoothest part of the process.

Rather disappointing trip. Would not recommend for families or individuals first time.

Response from Jaime:

1) The person who called the driver to assist them is Felipe, who's in charge of check-in. If he's not there at the meeting point, it's because we also have more charters on the same day, and he's attending to other clients and boarding the boat.

2) The bait is already on board when you arrive; you just need to pay. The fishing licenses are sent as PDFs to the captain in case the navy stops us, and he can show them to you. If we don't have licenses on board, it would result in a $7,000 USD fine, and we really don't want to be fined, especially not $20 USD per person.

3) I apologize if the crew's communication was slow. In this season, fishing is slow, and they focus a lot on catching fish to ensure customers leave happy, so they have to work hard.

4) We have all types of safety measures on board, like life jackets. To operate a charter, we need a special permit that requires having everything on board for any emergency.

5) If the plan was for fishing and not whale watching, it's because they knew the fishing had to be quick so you could catch something.

6) Remember, the charter boats are not new, but we do maintain them well.

We're glad our crew caught fish for you; that's the most important thing for us, and it's why you engage in this activity.

Thank you very much.
