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?
Heavy jigging in the deep sea (150–400 m), light jigging (60–150 m), and micro jigging / casting (10–60 m). Your captain chooses the best style for the day’s conditions and your target.
04 What does it cost?
Private Charter (exclusive boat): ₱19,500 per day for 1 to 3 guests — ₱19,500 for 1, ₱9,750 each for 2, or ₱6,500 each for 3. Shared / Group Charter: ₱6,500 per person per day. Boat 2 takes up to 4 anglers (minimum 3 to depart; full boat ₱26,000); Boat 1 takes up to 6 (minimum 4 to depart; full boat ₱39,000). All rates include boat, captain, crew, fuel, ice and fishing assistance.
05 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.
06 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.
07 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.
08 What is included?
Free transfer from nearby hotels; boat, fuel and experienced captain & crew; jigging guidance; complete gear and sets; 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.
09 Where do you depart from?
We offer free transfer from nearby hotels, with pickup around 3:30 AM. Departure is from the Roxas docking area.
10 What boats do you use?
We have two boats: Boat 1 seats up to 4 anglers, and Boat 2 takes up to 6. We assign the boat that best fits your group size.
