Captain Ariel wants his guests to catch fish, and he’s equipped to make it happen!! Originally planned to fish on a Sunday with my family, but weather did not cooperate. Instead, when the winds calmed down, my wife and I went on a half day trip Monday morning and had a great time. Rods consistently bent with fish on! Thanks Ariel and Tommy, looking forward to the next time!

Captain Ariel took my family and me out and did a great job of putting us on fish even though the weather was making things difficult. We came back with enough fish to eat for our entire vacation and then some. Captain Ariel and his mate Reggie were very diligent and kept everyone’s rods baited and quickly landed our catch. They also gave great advise for storing and cooking the fish they cleaned for us. Great experience overall!

I’m a 60 year old Florida native, with that said we absolutely had the best times of our lives fishing with Ariel and Reggie!!! My friend flew in from Wisconsin and after two days of fishing we went home with 90 pounds of premium filets. Can’t say enough about how good the trip was!!!
Ariel was referred to me by a local professional bass fisherman who had the same thing to say.
I don’t want to be a negative Nancy, however the bad review I saw about Big Game Sportfishing is bogus you can’t fix stupid!!!

The primary reason I go to Marathon is for the offshore fishing, period. I typically go for 2-6 weeks, I lease a waterfront home with a dock for the boat. The fishing is good, the water color/quality is excellent. The restaurants are the typical beach venue with a few exceptions. If one really likes to fish in beautiful water then the Marathon area is clearly a good choice as well as Islamorada. If one likes to fish BUT DOESN’T own or prefers not to bring their own boat, there are a plethora of great guides and a few places to lease a boat. I have used Ocean View Marina to lease a boat, great customer service, great boats and the staff are all boaters as well. But I must reiterate, I go there to fish not to vacation in the typical sense.

Amazing Cpt Ariel really put us on the fish! My brother's and I really enjoyed our day of fishing. Cpt Ariel and 1st mate Reggie worked hard to focus on each of us. I landed my biggest fish ever, a giant mahi, with their encouragement. We found Cpt Ariel a modest man who is well respected in the Marathon community. He is truly a legend.

Let me start off by stating I did NOT book a trip on Big Game. However, as a fellow angler, trolling offshore, the vessel I was on found a float with a rope attached floating. We were making systematic passes by it. We had made 2 passes while Big Game was within sight, so the Captain should have certainly noticed the pattern and trollling lines. As we turned and lined up for a 3rd pass, Big Game came roaring in and very quickly backed down directly on top of the float, and stopped, right on top of the float, causing us to have to alter our course.
I realize fishing, especially for mahi, has been a bit challenging as of late, however that does not excuse rude behavior. We would have welcomed you to join in on our passings around the float, but to back down right on top of it, forcing us to alter course, was rude and extremely inconsiderate of your fellow anglers.

What else can I say. We slammed the fish, the crew knew exactly what they were doing, and the trip was PERFECT! It was a last minute request and it was effortless. Reed hustles to make sure the we board as many fish as possible. Ariel knows where to find fish. My father in law had never fished in his life and must've landed at least 20 fish. He absolutely LOVED it. If you want to fish - look nowhere else!

Friends and I chartered Capt. Jimmy on High Caliber. Boat is designed to accommodate fisherman comfortably. Areas of sun and shade. Ample seating. No fisherman so far has ever presented themselves as professional as this Captain. He is fishing at its best. Very knowledgeable. He also respects nature and conservation .Super clean boat with a helpful crew. Pleased with all the whole trips .Incredible catch with all day fun. Highly Recommend!!!

My son Andrew and I had an excellent experience with captain Ariel Mederos and his mate Reed. We had a great time catching snapper, red grouper then adventured offshore for an amazing dolphin bite !! Needless to say we filled the coolers !! A very talented captain that I would highly recommend. Looking forward to our next trip !
