Whole day trip Capt James/Charlie
Full Day Fishing Trip on July 26, 20216 adults

This was our first fishing trip. Caught a 235 lb Bigeye Tuna. They were very good at instructing us on what to do. The sea was a little rough that day but they handled the boat very well. Only complaint that I would have was the upcharge of $300. Original contract was in May fishing trip was end of July. The reason for upcharge was the cost of fuel increase. I feel that there shouldn't have been an upcharge but I payed it and hope to book a trip with them next year.
