Chat with us
01 Is it really a whole-day trip? What if we finish early?
Yes — every trip is a full-day charter (roughly 3 AM to 5 PM). The price is for the whole day and stays the same even if you decide to head back early, because our crew, boat, fuel, permits, gear and full setup are prepared and committed for the entire day.
02 Do I need fishing experience?
No experience needed. Our crew guides you through every jigging style. If it is your first time, we recommend electric jigging — it is the easiest and most productive way to land big fish with minimal effort.
03 What jigging styles do you offer?
Our signature experience is heavy deep-sea jigging (160–400 m), supported by light jigging (40–150 m) and electric deep jigging on selected grounds down to 400 m. Micro jigging on ultralight tackle and popping (topwater) are available on request — just mention it when you book. Your captain chooses the best style for the day’s conditions and your target.
04 What does it cost?
Private Charter (your own boat for 1 to 3 anglers): ₱24,000 per day — ₱24,000 for 1, ₱12,000 each for 2, or ₱8,000 each for 3. Group Charter (your own boat for 4 to 6 anglers): ₱8,000 per angler per day — from ₱32,000 for 4 up to ₱48,000 for 6. Every trip is a private boat for your group; we do not run shared or joiner trips. Rates include boat, captain, crew, fuel, ice and fishing assistance; gear rental is ₱2,000 per set.
05 I’m a solo angler — can I join a shared boat?
We don’t offer shared or joiner trips — every boat is booked privately for one group, so the crew can focus on you. Solo anglers and pairs book our Private Charter (₱24,000 per day for 1 to 3 anglers). Bringing friends? Groups of 4 to 6 can take the Group Charter at ₱8,000 per angler.
06 Do you require a downpayment?
No downpayment required. You only pay once your trip is confirmed — on the day or the day before — so you never have to worry about refunds.
07 What if the weather is bad?
Fishing depends on the weather and conditions can change at any time. For your safety we may adjust or reschedule the trip. We will always keep you posted before departure.
08 What fish can I catch?
Common targets include dogtooth tuna, ruby snapper, amberjack, pomfret, yellowfin tuna, groupers and barracuda. Species are never guaranteed — they vary with season, depth and conditions.

Free transfer from nearby hotels; boat, fuel and experienced captain & crew; jigging guidance; safety gear and first-aid; complete LGU & Marina permits; fish finder, sonar & GPS; lunch, food & drinks; ice & boxes; and cleaning/packing of your catch on request.
