Stories From the Sea.
"“Cary is one of the best captains in my opinion. Hey deviates from the herd and does his own thing and it seems to pay off. He is consistently getting huge tuna. Not scared to try different tactics. Also, an amazing spearfisherman. Great boat, great captain”."
M Merciano from Bloody Decks
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
""What a blast, Captain Carey and his crew kept us catching fish and eating amazing food all 3 days we were on board. 170+ fish caught!""
Tim Beek
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
""120+ fish on a two charter, 34 years of fishing out of San Diego and I rank this boat and crew #1. I had a personal best of eighteen mixed yellowfin, yellowtail and one dorado. Food and sushi outstanding, bunks comfortable and roomy. Can't wait to go again.""
Joe L.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"“Hands down the best fishing trip I’ve ever been on. Captain Cary and his crew worked non-stop to put us on fish - and it paid off! The boat was spotless, the food was amazing, and every detail was taken care of. Can’t wait to go back next season.”"
Mark R., San Diego
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
