If you don't make up a full party, you can pay the four person minimum and the boat will go out. Alternatively, we can advertise here for more people to fill the vacant seats, with no guarantee of a trip.

In mid-summer, Roy is catching oceanic tuna, blackfin tuna, and kingfish almost every time he goes out. He lands a few wahoo. Every couple weeks a marlin hits. In early July he had a 400 lb marlin on the line and a week later another boat next to him brought in a 350 lb marlin. They are there, but you'll have to be lucky.

Roy generally fishes about 20 minutes away from the dock, especially on the half and three-quarter day trips. On a full days journey, he may go further out. You'll get over three hours of fishing on the half day trip and over five on the three-quarter day trip. The full day trip can be over seven or less, if he heads out to the Saba banks.

Children 6 to 18 years fish for half price. Younger children are welcome at no cost.
