Captain Dana was a great guide. Taught my son and I better technique for marlin fishing, and even gave us pointers for when we go to another island tomorrow. He was very nice and easy to talk to, a wealth of knowledge. My son said it was the best time he’s ever spent fishing. I’ll definitely book another trip with him.

We had a great time out with Captain Dana. He taught us a lot and helped me in particular (novice fisher). Extremely patient and got us to some good spots. We’ll definitely call him again next time!

My family, including my 8 and 11 year old, had the best day ever with Captain Dana. He was great with the kids, cleaned and packed the fish, and made sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend!
