The crew was experienced, and the boat was exceptionally clean and well-equipped. Captain Danielo knew exactly where to find the fish, taking us straight to the action. We even took some time to swim and relax on a beautiful beach while the crew prepared one of the tunas and Spanish mackerels we caught — a fantastic experience all around!
