We are a adventurous family and really wanted a full day deep sea fishing trip. The crew was amazing, the gear was great, the boat was old but reliable and they took us out in 6-8 foot seas and put my 12 year old son and 18 year old nephew in the fighting chair team landing a 94” blue marlin. Absolutely amazing experience them and to me the dad my wife was comfortable, my 6 year old daughter was liked and we were all safe. We did have some sea sickness but the crew was just awesome to accommodate us. This isn’t a chartered yacht with a full wet bar; this os very kind and professional men on fishing boat and they delivered us some great lifelong memories with a few of sea sickness but we are very happy with the experience and would book again for the ones of us who really like to fish.

Joe and Jeff were great. We got skunked… but that’s why they call it fishing not catching.

I booked a full day trip with Play n’ hooky and my decision for a whole day trip paid off. I would highly suggest to do the full day fishing just because it gives you more time in the water and more area to cover. Although the weather wasn’t that great when we went out but we did manage to land a yellow fin and mahi2. We had 2 other fish that got away. Capt. Teoni definitely knows the water and what he’s doing. They saw that mahi around the area and Capt. decided to drop the live bait and sure enough within a few minutes and patiently waiting that mahi went for the live bait. Overall it was a great day in the water couldn’t ask for more. Having a great entertaining crew on a not so good weather makes a big difference.

A day that I will never forget. I booked a half day bcuz we didn’t have the luxury of a full day given we were on a vacation time crunch. However, I took the chance bcuz it was my dads 60th birthday and I was hopeful to give him fishing trip of a lifetime. From the beginning, the Captain and Sam were super friendly and welcomed us on board. As soon as we left the dock, they were quick to set up the rods and started trolling writhing 30mins. A couple hours later, I was starting to lose hope as time was winding down. 2.5hrs later, the reel took off and we had a bite! The first catch was a 25lb Mahi Mahi! Not too long after, WE HOOKED A 70lb+ MARLIN! What are the odds that we would hook such a big prize given that we only booked half a day. Long story short, my dad had the best time ever. They were also kind enough to give us more Mahi Mahi fillet than we asked for. It was a great day.

Fishing started out a little bit slow,  but captain Joe and Teoni persevered. After 5 hours we finally got a bite, it came off the hook before we could reel it in but we quickly landed a second within a few minutes and got that one in the boat. We then had a dry spell for a couple hours but then a marlin struck our hook. We fought to reel it in for 45 minutes and got a 100 pound striped marlin for our trouble. The thrill we got from fighting this fish and having our line drag out hundreds of feet.  Captain Joe slammed the boat in reverse to give chase, the chair they had made an impossible task a little bit easier, the chair reel and rods were all top notch and in excellent condition. If they did not have the chair sliding apparatus we would still be reeling in that marlin. We had the time of our lives with our family members. The Cabin was air Conditioned with 2 large love seats. The restrooms were very spacious and comfortable. I am over 6 feet tall and had zero problems with room. We highly recommend captain Joe he was very chill and just let us do our thing.
