Captain Steven knew every spot—flats, reefs, wrecks. Caught permit, jacks, snapper, grouper, and even barracuda. Day-long adventure and stunning scenery.

Marquesas Keys were spectacular. We got yellowjacks and snapper on reefs, then anchored over channel wrecks for big grouper. The 24′ Pathfinder handled it all perfectly .

We started on flats for bonefish and permit, then hit wrecks for big jacks and shark. Marquesas feels untouched and thrilling—outstanding trip

On a calm winter day, we caught over 20 species—mutton and yellowtail snapper, grouper, sharks, and cobia. Truly the “species hunt” Marquesas promises .

Marquesas is magical. We hit hidden flats for permit. Then dived wrecks for grouper, snapper, and even a big barracuda. Guide was thoughtful and skilled

Great trip overall! We landed plenty of yellowtail snapper and jacks, though the bonefish were shy. Still, Captain Steven was knowledgeable and professional

Uncrowded, pristine waters at Marquesas. We had a grand slam—tarpon, bonefish, permit—and ended with a reef blitz for barracuda and cobia

Captain Steven put us on permit, tarpon, and bonefish on the flats—then we headed to patch reefs and picked up snappers and jacks. Absolutely worth the trek to Marquesas .
