Captains Troy and Debbie (and mate Korey) exceeded all expectations for our group. Super laid back and accommodating for our group and consistently put us on the fish. We probably boated 100+ sea bass and easily had 30+ keepers. I’d recommend this boat and crew to anyone looking to have a great day/night on the water with friendly, helpful folks.

We booked to go after Mahi with the captain, he asked if we minded going out for tuna first then go after Mahi the night before.  We got 1 tuna bite and reeled in it, we missed the gaff hook and the fish was spooked after that. We were using light tackle for yellowfin which resulted in a broke line after the miss. We never went after Mahi and spent whole trip chunking for Tuna. I’m aware that is a different cost but really wanted the rest of my group(6 people) to try and catch some Mahi. Not what I was expecting but an overall good experience. I would book with them again, we just need to communicate our game plan better and go after other fish when the Tuna aren’t biting and the customers are getting bored, or sea sick. As I said, Captain and first mate were great (except for the missed gaff, that was disappointing). So I give them a five star regardless of that issue because I technically didn’t pay a tuna price. The next time when we spend 3 hours without a bite, they need to cut the losses and go after different fish. I ate the cost for the others in my group because they never even got to touch a pole. I wanted to catch fish, not scout for the next group going out.

Captain Troy, Debbie and Hanley were an amazing group to fish with.  They navigated us quickly safely and comfortably out to sea.  Then they kept us right on top of the fish all day and we had a an amazing day catching 5 huge yellow fin tuna and 3 white marlin.  What a fight all these fish gave us and we were exhausted at the end of the day from the workout!  The boat is clean and comfortable to relax in.  Would recommend New Release to anyone!  Five stars!

We booked a 12-hour offshore trip with Captain Troy. Of course, we were hoping to land at least one tuna, but we were more than satisfied with the 70 bonito that we pulled into the boat. We started fishing at 7:00 AM and had the entire cooler filled by 8:30 AM. Captain Troy’s wife Debbie just kept putting us on fish. There were five of us in the group and we had three separate occasions when four of us or all five of us were reeling in fish at the same time. We averaged landing a fish every 6 minutes.

I can’t say enough good things about Captain Troy, Debbie and Kyle, the mate. They all worked hard to make sure we had a great time (although we don’t need a lot of help in that department), and they were very enjoyable to spend the day with. I would highly recommend booking with them - I can promise we will be on board the next time we have the opportunity.

Best wishes to Captain Troy, Debbie and Kyle for continued success and safe voyages.
