The Explorer delivered the trip of a lifetime for Jess King and Elizabeth Rasch on August 22. Here’s how she told the story on social media:

“Our last day in Costa Rica was an all day off shore fishing trip, and it was one of the best ones! Elizabeth Rasch and I both caught a Blue Marlin!!”

“Hers was 450 lbs and the biggest catch of the day out of all the boats! Took her an hour to get it in!!”

“Shortly after I got another Yellow Fin Tuna!!”

“This has been the most amazing trip of a lifetime!! I will be returning!!”

Larry Schenavar and his group joined the Explorer on August 6 and they got busy with a bunch of Sailfish releases.

They then moved inshore and conquered this stunning Cubera Snapper.

Awesome work by Captain Fico (on his birthday, no less!)
