Just to let you know we had a fabulous time in Venezuela. The holiday was great. All the transfers worked, and the accommodation and food was brilliant, particularly Posada Caracol on Margarita and the fishing in Los roques.
Thanks for your work in putting this together for us. We will remember this holiday for a long time.
PS I’d be happy to help you with any references if you want to market your services more in the UK.

At the moment I'm in Aruba. Me and my wife have been to Los Roques. What a wonderful time !!! Everything really ok. Your driver Nils gave us the best assistance we always had. He's fantastic !! At Los Roques everything were wonderful. The place, the dives, the Posada and the personnel, the dive operator.

Thank you very much for all your assistance. Hope to travel with you again soon. Be sure I will always recommend you agency. Thanks again,

Chris

Hey Explore. I just want to say THANK-YOU Thank-you and thank-you!!

Our dive was great today! We all thoroughly enjoyed it. We went out to La Guaza, descended to approx 100ft and I was one of the lucky ones to stay down for a full 49 minutes! It was great. My buddy had his camera so I am waiting for his photos!

I really appreciate the deal you made for us. I also appreciate that this was all done at the last minute and we are all happy that we have a taste of Los Roques - I think we all want to come back and dive here more now though!!

Thank-you to Thomas and thank-you to the boat crew.

Until next time when we are here!!

Best personal regards,

Kirstie

Para el Velero Obsession.........
Hola Sr . Frank........como esta.....???? Fue ud. mi intermediario y la
persona con quien yo tomè contacto por email.

Ud., tenia toda la razòn por supuesto, claro que la pasamos estupendamente
bien......SOBRE ESO NO HABIA QUE TENER NINGUNA DUDA. YO, describirìa ese
tour como.......UN PASEO AL PARAISO TERRENAL......pues eso fuè lo que fuè para mi.

El Sr, Ronald esta siempre pendiente de que el velero este todo el tiempo con el ·viento en la popa" y en cuanto a Elizabeth pues cocina de
..........MARAVILLAAAAAAAAAA........!!!!!.-

Y no hay que olvidar las amistades tan lindas que se hacen a bordo con los demas pasajeros, que en este caso fueron -...el guia de turismo Carlos Luis, y las personas procedentes de Dinamarca las cuales eran BIOND, KATRINA AND METTE........de todos ellos nos quedò el recuerdo y sus respectivos emails para seguir en contacto.

Quisiera decirles que tengo pensado pasar 12 dias en el velero para el mes
de Diciembre. Tendrìa que ser despues del 4 de diciembre...en adelante.
Si me lo pueden uds., acomodar ......no tendrìa importancia que cayera en los dias 24 y 31 de diciembre, para mi no es importante.......Pero ello en
caso de que el capitan trabajara para esas fechas. Con esto lo que quiero
decirles es que pueden uds., acomodarme esos 12 dias como mejor sea para
uds. siempre y cuando sea para despues del 4 de diciembre.

Sin otro particular a que referirme y agradeciendole la atenciòn a este.
.....

Un abrazo y mil felicitaciones....!!!!! JANINA DE ZEPPENFELDT.-

Thanks again
Can you email me a receipt for our trip. I need a copy for our records. I have finally caught up from our trip, and was cleaning the desk off and couldn't find a final billing. Thanks in advance. Also wanted to say that we had a great time during the whole trip. The Obsession and crew were fantastic, the accommodations, Nils, and the marlin fishing were all great. Thanks for a well planned and executed trip. We look forward to returning. We enjoyed meeting you for a drink. It is always nice to put a face on a contact that you have been corresponding with in email. Hopefully we will be able to assist each others business in some way in the future.

Take care,

Henrik,

We went out on the Obsession in June and had a great time. Can you tell me when
the best time for bonefish is next year, with the tides etc. We are looking
to come to Los Roques again.

Many thanks,
Trevor
 

Dear Yachts

I have been meaning to write since I got back to thank you for organizing such a superb holiday for us all. We loved the boat, Ronald and his wife were excellent, and her cooking is absolutely delicious. Best lobster I have had in my life apart from the ones I have cooked myself!

Dominic and Juliya were delighted with everything you organized for them.

With very best wishes for 2004, and once again very many thanks for all your hard work on our behalf, it was the best Christmas I've ever had, and could you please thank Alex for all his meeting and greeting and hard work too.

Regards,

Jenny Reed

 

Hej Explore

Bare lige en hurtig besked fra os om at alt forløb som det skulle. Vi havde en suveræn fiske ferie og drømmer os allerede tilbage. Din mand Eddie kom fint og hentede os i Caracas og efter lidt kørsel rundt i kvarteret fandt han Hotel Santiago. Vi hørte fra 2 andre danskere at Hotel Royal i Caracas skulle være helt i top mht comfort og pris (den skulle være nævnt i en berømt travel guide). Eddie kom for sent næste morgen, så vi turde ikke andet end at booke med hotel ejeren, som kørte os i lufthavnen. Eddie dukkede op 20 minutter senere og undskyldte. Iøvrigt betalte han os tilbage hvad vi havde givet for hotel taxien. Det var flot.

Posada Dona Magalis var ok i forhold til prisen (tror vi). Dog havde et par andre danskere fået ophold ved siden af (Posada rec.....???) til samme pris, men med aircondition og efter sigende bedre mad og forplening. Det kan selvfølgelig skyldes at det var lavsæson og de fleste hungrede efter turister.

Jeg er ret overbevist om at du vil se flere danskere til Los Roques i fremtiden. Ugen før vi ankom var der 13 danskere som var afsted sammen. De skriver snart en artikel til fiske bladene.

Vi høres ved næste gang turen går til Los Roques.

Hola Lu, 

Nuestro último viaje con el Obsession fue un placer y un éxito para todos. Gracias.

Esta vez, me gustaría ir a Los Roques a pasar un fin de semana en una posada.

Saludos cordiales,

Venezuela Dream 

The trip began with me dreaming away again about fishing for blue marlin, but where should I go.  A quick search on the web led us to Explore Venezuela, a tour and travel company specialist in fishing, diving and accommodation; you name it they will help you out.

The General Manager put things together for us via e-mail assuring us that Venezuela was where the action was.

Frank, my fishing companion, and I sorted the flights out from the UK and Carlos met us at Caracas Airport on Saturday evening.  A forty minute drive to the Marina and we were in a safe friendly hotel with great food and wine. 

It was early May and the Marina was very quiet, the busy time is from October – December for a mixed bag.  We were here for blue’s and the quieter the better, less hassle on the La Guaira bank. 

We where introduced us to his colleague Ernani who organised our fishing with two locals, Eli and Cesar, they both knew their stuff.  La Guaira Bank took about 1½ hrs from the marina as soon as we put the lines out it just couldn’t get any better. 

Day One 150lb blue, lost two.  As well as the blues two big dolphins and I mean big in the 90lb class. 

Day Two trolling dead Ballyhoo rose a 350lb blue and on 30lb line was a handful.  It beat us up pretty good taking 2 hrs to the boat, Two more hungry big male dolphins meant several Cuba/Libras at the bar in the Marina to recover as soon as we got in. 

Day Three was the business with four blues coming to the teasers together and crashing the four lines.  Chaos was the understatement as I, Cesar and Ely struggled to come to terms with what was happening. 

Trying in vain to keep the four lines hooked up, we were left with two nice juvenile blues one lost at the boat the other about 150lb which we got to the leader. It still wasn’t over as two big dolphins could not resist a bite later in the day.  A session in the bar that evening with the crew brought the day to a close. 

It just doesn’t get any better than this, stick to the hassle of October don’t think about April or May will you. 

Thanks to Carlos, Nani, Ely, Cesar and the friendly staff at the Marina Bar/Hotel – was it a dream? 

Hi Henrik

Our trip was excellent. We did have a mix-up with 1 extra person. A big thank you to your staff for taking care of him and getting him on the flight the next morning. If you will send me a bill made out to him, I will be glad to forward it over to Russell immediately. Thanks again.

Thank you,
