What a great day from start to finish. Captain Joaquin was an excellent captain and very knowledgeable of the area. Our group went from novice to expert, but he adapted and provided a great experience for everyone onboard and more importantly put us on the fish. I’ve done a couple of charter trips now and this was one of the best, definitely recommend it. The extra mile that shouldn’t go unnoticed and what sets Captain Jacquin apart: First time I’d ever experienced a captain asking if anyone had any medical conditions, which being a diabetic myself I found very important that he made himself aware. Also, one person in our group after a morning of fishing didn’t feel too good, but it was no issue for Captain Jacquin to return her to shore and then proceed back to the same spot and carry on with the charter.
I’ll definitely be chartering with Captain Jacquin next time I’m in Southy Padre…

Captain Joaquin was absolutely amazing! It was an extremely windy day on June 21, 2023 but the captain didn’t let that stop him from getting us on the fish (and they were being quite the pain by not cooperating to well). He was extremely patient and helpful to our 3 kids (this was their first real fishing trip) and for that I’m very grateful for. He even went a little over on our time because he wanted us to get a few reds which we ended up landing some. Every one of us caught multiple fish. The next time we visit SPI, we will be using Captain Joaquin again. I highly recommend him.

We had a great day on the water with Captain Peña. He was very helpful and patient with us novice fishermen; also very informative about the bay and its marine life. The weather was great for our afternoon trip as well. We caught a decent amount of fish and went all over the bay seeking them out. Captain Peña worked hard on searching for the fish. Most everything we caught was below size limit so we didn’t get to keep much. Despite that, it was a fun afternoon and a great time. Awesome way to spend part of our vacation on SPI. We would highly recommend this charter if you’re looking for a good time on the water!

Joaquin was a fabulous captain and did a great job getting us on the fish despite the uncooperative wind. The experience overall was great and we would highly recommend to anyone looking to spend time on the bay.
