You and your family, and especially kids, will be treated to tips and instructions on how to cast, hook, and reel in your fish. For his effort, gratuity is greatly appreciated.

We have been on numerous boats and by far Captain Bob and Mate Steve are the best. They know exactly what they are doing. We will never go on another boat.
