Made a mental note …

I have just returned from a 7 day marlin fishing trip to the Ribbon Reefs. We stayed aboard the mother Ship Bali-Hai 11 and fished with Corey Hard on Mauna Kea and Sharky Miles on your new Maritimo 550, with 2 teams of 2 anglers alternating boats every day.
There were obvious differences in the boats and moving from one to the other organising video coverage, gave me the chance to compare their qualities.
Mauna Kea is a 44ft Pleysier design hull Assegai. It’s a full blown fishing boat and although she’s got a few seasons under the belt is in excellent condition.
Since my last boat was a 40ft custom built Pleysier, she’s my kind of boat, fully functional and designed with one thing in mind, getting after big fish. So I jumped on her the first day.
Corey and the Hard Core team are just that. Young guns who really know their stuff and they fish the tackle, angler and boat on the limit, if the angler can keep up.
