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.

Maybe it was just the way things looked that morning around the marina at Roche Harbor Resort, a lovely little spot on the northern coast of evergreen-fringed San Juan Island just a short floatplane ride west of Bellingham, Washington. Or maybe it was just the weather, which was absolutely spectacular, with an air temperature of 68°F, atmospheric conditions so incredibly clear that visibility seemed unlimited, and just the faintest whiff of a breeze now and again. But I swear, once I’d come up the teak-paved stairway from the saloon of our Australian-built Maritimo 48 and entered the flying bridge, the view dang near took my breath away. And I was just as impressed with the cruise-friendly ambiance of the place.
