I read every review here before choosing Pacific Time. There were many positives and a handful of negatives. My honest review is as follows. Yes, there was some things that could have been better - I, like other customers, thought I was fishing with Paulo. But Paulo just met us, showed us where to buy our licenses, led us onto the dock, collected my trip balance, led us down to the boat, introduced us to his son Josue (the captain) and Ramon, the first mate and then he jumped off the boat. Did I know that was how it was going to go?…nope, I did not. Was there much small talk or communication once on the boat, not particularly. Did I have to ask for instructions for how to flush the boat toilet…yep. Was the diesel boat loud and stink of fumes - uh huh - it’s a diesel, what can you say?! But guess what, none of these things are what this trip is about - these gentlemen are here to put you on fish and that’s exactly what they did. They know what they are doing and they know where to fish. It was pretty quiet for the first hour and then BAM we had fish on 5 lines almost all at once. Then it became like an organized, hot-mess of multiple people reeling lines at once. Such a rush and so much fun. All in all, we hauled in 7 mahi-mahi and 1 marlin (which we released) in a 5 hour trip and these guys worked had to get us that marlin once they spotted it.  A couple things to know in advance - carry cash: 1) fishing licenses can be purchased at the dock the morning of your trip for $17 usd - we arrive 15 minutes early to get these. 2) There is a $1 dollar per person fee to actually walk onto the dock (I assume this is menial fee for dock maintenance etc). 3) We brought our own lunch, water and snacks, this was a great choice in my opinion. They will stop at the dock store if you ask, but the lines are long and it isn’t cheap. 4) They will whisk your catch away when you get back to the dock and you have to follow the man and with the wheelbarrow of fish to get your fish filleted. It cost $5 usd per mahi-mahi. 5) If you want your fish vacuum packed and frozen so you can take it home, Gracielda’s on the marina is the place to go. It was $1.75 a pound on the finished weight.  We think if we had made arrangements with them in advance, they could have picked up our fish, filleted and packed them - but we didn’t know about the “whisking away” of the fish when you arrive at the dock. So, the dock hands filleted them and then we walked to Gracielda’s for vacuum packing (however they could not freeze for us due to being overwhelmed with orders since the Bisbee’s fishing tournament just happened days prior). Ultimately, we think it would have been cheaper to go straight there. Lesson learned. 6) Remember it is customary to tip around 25%. My final thoughts - I would definitely book with this team again and recommend them to our friends and family. My family will be talking about this trip for years to come and the memories made were absolutely priceless!

Even though we didn’t catch a bunch of fish the crew worked really hard to get us on fish.  Slow time of year but it was nice to get out on the water and Capt took the time to point out dolphins, whales, sharks and turtles along the way.  Caught some small bonitas so we didn’t get skunked.  We will come back during peak fishing season and try again.

Fishing is usually a lot of luck, but this captain and crew put in all the extra effort to make this a day to be remembered! Took the long journey to the Tuna area and were rewarded fabulously. The crew and captain were tireless in their efforts and skill resulting in the 4 of us, limiting out on Tuna, sized 10-25 lbs!! Comfortable boat operated by very talented and capable captain and crew. Looking forward to our next trip with this group already!!

We were on the only fish that were biting, spanish mackeral.  Had a lot of fun with that with over a dozen caught.  Captain smartly targeted the smaller fish given that the water was cold and the bigger sport fish were not biting all week because of it.  We were also able to see whales and had a great time overall.  Boat is clean and fast.  We’ll use them again in the future.

The weather on this day was rough: 5-7ft swells at 3-4 sec.  Still the captain put us on some fish.  Caught limits on dorados, two small YFT and an amazing striped Marlin.  I recommend this boat and crew.  Capt Paulo rocks.  BTW before you start commenting, we did not take YFT pics.  We caught 2 bonitas which we use for bait
