Hamad Al Mehairbi5.0VerifiedBest fishing experience ever
Private 5 Hour – Deep Sea Fishing on July 30, 2026 • 2 adultsI’ve been fishing for years, but I’ve never experienced fish biting this quickly! I caught a longtail tuna, and Captain Shaun was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made the trip even better. I had an awesome time and will definitely be coming back to fish with him again. Highly recommend!

Private 8 Hour – Deep Sea Fishing on August 3, 2026 • 3 adultsOur family had a great, relaxing time out on sea and caught a lot of fish. We had a few big fish on the line but unfortunately they put up a good fight and we lost them. Shaun taught us a lot about fishing and was helpful and patient with us. Hope to come back next time!
