    Hello all at Karandas Tours. This fishing trip was prompted by me getting married in Jamaica. I wanted to spend a day with the guys off resort and this provided the best opportunity. Also, I hadn’t been fishing for quite some time. Growing up in NJ, my father always owned a boat and every summer weekend was spent fishing on it as a child.

    Our trip set out early Thursday morning October 18th on a rainy day. Our driver CJ arrived on time, provided some local information, and drove us safely to the dock. He also stopped at the grocery store for us on the way back to the resort upon request.

    As soon as we arrive at the boat we met the crew, promptly board, and set sail. We aren’t even a mile offshore and the crew already had lines in the water, excellent! During setup the crew was making sure that we were comfortable and with beverages. The crew was very engaging and actually quite entertaining. This is critical for a successful trip, whether you catch fish or not.

    For the first few hours, we didn’t even get one knockdown, not one hit, nothing. Just as my guys are starting to look at each other as this trip will be a bust, we get the first hit. I bring the first fish in, the crew exercising full control, everyone doing their part to get this fish aboard. And that set us off, the captain had found the hot spot. We had multiple knockdowns at a time, the crew always responded correctly and professionally. We trolled that spot for the rest of the time and ended up landing six real nice sized Mahi Mahi. For the size of fish, they provide an extraordinary fight.

    The crew used the most competent fishing methods for baiting the hooks, setting the lines, and setting the hooks when we did get a fish on. They were constantly checking the baits/lures because we were running through seaweed. When I go on a charter fishing trip I am very critical of the crew as I am an experienced deep sea fisherman, and I will say that this crew is World Class!

    We also had the crew filet up some of our catch, and we took it back to our resort to have it grilled. I want to personally thank Speedy and all at Karandas Tours for providing my friends and I with a wonderful fishing experience. We’ll be back.

    Hi Dwight,
    I wrote a review on trip advisor, but then I had difficulties posting it. I would be glad to talk you about our experience. We had a great time on the boat. Our crew (Tony, Tony, and Johnwayne) were fantastic. They took care of us, found fish, we’re good to my son when he was ‎seasick. The water was rough but the experience was very good. When we got back to shore, Colin cooked up our catch and we had a great lunch under the shade of the tree. Start to finish the men were professional, caring and funny. It was worth every penny. I recommend it to any fisherman, and look forward to doing it again next time.

    Hi Dwight

    The excursion was incredible! I so appreciated Captain Dundee’s enthusiasm and positive attitude for the whole trip – he and the rest of the crew were a blast, and please pass along my very sincere thanks for having us along for such an awesome time. In hindsight I wish I had asked to try the other two types of fish we caught, just to compare the Mahi Mahi versus black jack and marlin, but the Mahi Mahi was done flawlessly and was definitely some of the best fish I’ve ever had.

    Thanks again for helping coordinate such an amazing day!

    All the best,
    Chris S

    Hey Dwight,

    The excursion was awesome. All the guys on all the boats had a great time. The crews were a blast to be around, always laughing and showing everyone a good time. The captain on my boat was Mike, with Colin and Kid as the other crew members. Even though we didn’t catch any fish, the experience was one I wont forget, nor will most of the guys either. I would definitely book with Karandas Tours again if I ever get the chance to come to Jamaica and fish again, and I would highly, highly recommend your charter services to anyone looking to go.

    Again, thanks for everything Dwight, its been great communicating with you in such a professional and mature manner, thanks for the follow up, and I hope to chat again the next time I am in Jamaica.

    Hello,

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Our trip was great as far as anything your people could have done. We went out with 10 people and 6 got sick. Your crew took very good care if the puking guys and everyone said it was an experience of a lifetime. Keep up the good work!

    Good day Dwight,

    This is in response to both inquires for our Charters on Jan 13 and 16, 2014.

    We had a great time and really appreciate the crew, who were friendly and very helpful. The 13th trip was with the 6 adults where we caught 13 tuna, it was a great day. The second trip was with the kids who all became sea sick making it a rough trip for the first 2 hours. The crew was great, the turned around without any fussing and went to set-up bottom fishing, this was cut short due to the heavy rain and rough seas form the storm that blew in. It was the first mate who made this a memorable trip for the kids even though we didn’t catch a fish. Very grateful for both crews!

    The transportation to and from the hotel were good, no complaints at all, he was friendly and helpful.

    I would recommend your company to anyone that asks, and I would charter your company if I came back to Jamaica.

    Thank-you again!

    We had a fantastic time. Capt. Tony and Carlin were the best. We landed two nice fish and had a great time. I would definitely recommend them and did actually to another guest at our resort. I believe Vinny Melendez booked a trip with you all that Monday. I would request Tony and Carlin on my next trip. Thanks!
