Customer Service
July 11, 2024

Very positive experienceveith both the Captain Dave Mckay and Maria. We had to cancel our trip due to unforeseen circumstances ( one person from our party became sick). They were very curteous and understanding and processed the cancellation. We will definitely book the next trip with them.

Just amazing
June 24, 2024

I started using FishingBooker when they launched years ago. They always cared about my needs and made improvements to what we recommend. You know a good business when a company listen to its customers. Will always be loyal to FishingBooker as they are to their customers :) happy days and happy fishing :)

Best online resource for fishing trips
June 28, 2024

Pescado Adventures has been a vendor on Fishing Booker now for more than 2.5 years. Their customer service has always been of the highest quality, both from a vendor as well as a customer perspective. If you are looking to book, this is the place to be.

God information men...
December 29, 2024

Information med mange forskellige former kan være vanskelig. Jeg bruger mail, SMS og Messenger. FishingBooker bruger WhatsApp, hvilket var svært for mig at få til at fungere.

Fisketuren var fantastisk. Den planlagte tur blev rykket til den dag, hvor det var det bedste vejr for fiskeri. Det værdsætter jeg.
Hvis jeg fremover vil fiske i udlandet, vil jeg tjekke FishingBooker først.

Fishing Booker is the Best!
October 6, 2024

Fishing Booker sent transportation to our hotel to pick us up for the day. Transportation was on time. We got to the dock. The Captain and first mate were ready for us. The boat was on the smaller size, so we felt the waves more, but boy did we catch fish: yellow-fin tuna. There were only three of us but the crew set up 6 poles for us. We were catching fish on at least four of them. At times, we had two fish on two different lines at the same time. The crew had food, water, and beer for us. We had a blast. Use Fishing Booker for your next trip. You will not be disappointed.

Kiki is awesome!
June 21, 2024

We have a tropical storm in the gulf so I've been trying to fit my weeks worth of customers in the few days that we have good weather. One of my charters agreed to the change but we forgot to submit it. I tried to change it through the app but it wasn't allowing me because it was too close to today (Tuesday). I called fishing booker and Kiki did it for me in just a few minutes! Now that the storm is moving south and our forecast is improving, I have the opportunity to book another charter for Thursday!

Can't go wrong with fishingBooker
September 14, 2024

I used FishingBooker to look for a Captain & Guide on Pelican Lake at Breezy Point. I researched all the Captains listed for that area. I considered their pricing, the size of the boat, plus whether or not they could walk to with someone like me who is handicap. I picked Captain Louie. Last week on the 27th Louie picked me up at the hotel I was at! I had a great time. FishingBooker made that possible!

Excellent mobile app!
August 25, 2024

Booked online from home using Fishing Booker phone app!
Highly recommended because you can see many possible boats and captains. While not the cheapest trip by any means available, you get what you pay for.
We had great bait fish, 2 great deck handed and a skilled captain. And fishing license and fees are included.
Check them out for serious deep sea fishing.
Easy to book and communicate directly with Captain.
Great messaging thru their app 'Fishing Booker'.

Great time on East Traverse Bay with Tyler
September 1, 2024

Went out with my kids, ages 7 and 9. Tyler was friendly and low-key and really accommodating, we all had a great time! Caught 4 nice salmon including 3 over 20 lbs, as well as a very nice cisco! We'll definitely be back.

Fishing Booker Makes it Easier
September 15, 2024

I've use fishing booker to book my fishing excursions every time we travel to Mexico and it's been nothing but great. I plan on using the app again next when we travel to Costa Rica. It's easy to use, read reviews and see what the captains say in their introductory videos.

Awesome
July 31, 2021

Can't say enough about the captain and first mate. They made sure everyone got a fish. Did I mention it was 44 inches caught by our 11 yr old grandson. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend. We got king mackerel, Spanish mackerel and barracuda

Hooked up fishing with Capt Taco
March 5, 2022

A great deep sea experience with Captain Taco. Taco worked hard to put us on fish and Dan was excellent at keeping bait in the water. Both of their fishing knowledge paid off for us. Highly recommend.

A dream finally realized
November 1, 2024

We originally booked a whole day on "Reel Time"

However she was experiencing mechanical maintenance issues and Ohana Sport fishing called us with the bad news that she wasn't going to be ready for our trip. They then offered to upgrade our trip to their 74' Striker.

This was a huge upgrade, I mean a hot tub on a fishing boat!

The captain was awesome as was the first mate, both very knowledgeable and friendly. We even had a stewardess! Nicole kept the coffee coming and was a charming young woman. She was always checking to see how we were doing. It was a slow day fishing but we enjoyed good weather and conversation with ourselves and the crew.

After about 6 hours of fishing and only having a couple of little bites, we needed to head back to the harbor. We decided to leave the lures in the water just a little longer as we pointed the boat back to Oahu.

Then it happened!

A large marlin hit and hit hard, stripping 600-700 yards off the reel while we got the rest of the gear out of the water. After over 90 minutes of repeatedly bringing her to the stern we finally boated a good sized female Blue Marlin. Not a record breaker by any means, but when we returned to the dock we weighed her in at 437 pounds.

Bucket list item checked off!

Maria at FishingBooker
June 11, 2024

I wish I could give Maria more stars! I cannot express how grateful we are to have had her helping us, we booked a fishing trip with La Jolla water sports captain Eldon Bertsch. It was a 6am trip for 6 hours, we get to the dock as directed and on time…we notice we can't find our captain so we call and then they tell us the time was a typo our departure time is 8am so we wait for 2 hours the captain finally messages us at 7:30 and states he's having wiring issues with the boat so we express to him how it would be appreciated if he could keep us updated because for 1 we drove 5 hours to come for this trip and we had already been waiting for 2 hours and then he cancels on us at 8am. So we're very upset, Maria from fishing booker gets ahold of us she goes above and beyond for us, finds us a last minute charter, gave us a small credit for the inconvenience, she did all the footwork and was very responsive and so helpful! She deserves a raise & a paid day off lol thank you Maria!

Seemed like an easy way to book a charter fishing trip but the reviews on the site seem made up. Our Captain was terrible. The trip started an hour earlier than we booked and the services provided did not match the description at all.

Review from a Captain
April 9, 2024

I have been using FishingBooker for captains for almost a year now and they have helped me build my business from scratch! Customer service is always helpful and looking to improve their product. In particular I have had excellent service from Kiki who incidentally was the first person who assisted me in getting my first charters off the ground, and she's been there all along!

Captain Alberto, thank you so much for your kind words. It's truly uplifting to know that Kiki made such a positive impact and was incredibly helpful throughout your journey. We're thrilled to hear that she went above and beyond to assist you every step of the way. Your appreciation means the world to us! - Niko
