Fishing trip?

Anyone have suggestions for a fishing trip?

We were in port from 1pm-9pm a couple of weeks ago. Fished with FishCuracao. They arranged a taxi for us from the cruise port- met at the gate, $70 round trip, about a 20 minute trip. On our 1/2 day charter, we landed a 30 pound yellowfin tuna and an approximately 180 pound blue marlin. Missed a few other barracuda and mahi hits. Large comfortable boat, to notch equiptment, lures, and rigged ballyhoo trolling baits. Highly recommended- we will definitely fish with them again. However, with the prevailing easterly trade winds, the seas can be a bit choppy- not dangerous, but lots of movement. If you have any predilection for seasickness, I would strongly suggest taking medication 1-2 hours before boarding. We prefer Bonine/Meclazine- works well with no drozy side effects.

I sent them a message but have not yet received a response. I'm not a fishing person and looking to arrange as a wedding gift. Was the rate on the website per person or for the group as a whole? I was looking at the 4hr trip. Any info appreciated.

Odd they did not respond yet- they were very prompt with me. Here is the direct email for Captain Gordo that we used: gordo@fishcuracao.com

 

We paid $600 for the charter

Rate was for everyone on the charter, but does not include tip (we usually tip the mate 20% for good service). Only other extra was the taxi fare from the cruise terminal
