crew was great. Fishing not ao much.
4 Hour Trip – Fish & Snorkel on August 1, 20269 adults

I took my entire family. 10 of us. Staff, Clio and Lauren, were very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, to be frank and honest, the fishing sucked. We fished for about 2 1/2 hours. Out of the approximately 12- 15 fish we caught, all were small. Clio caught at least half of them.. we had 5 lines down the entire time. The four best fish we caught were two small strawberry grouper, and two small yellowtail snapper. Three of those 4 were caught by Clio. We also snorkeled about 20 minutes. That was refreshing and OK. Bottom line… We still had fun because our whole family was together, but if you’re going for the Fishing, don’t expect too much. I’ve been on several deep sea fishing trips on the Gulf Coast of Florida and the captain would always put us right on top of amazing fishing. I’m not so sure the captain put us on any known coordinates of good fishing spots. If he did, he needs to find/buy some new coordinates!

Response from Charter operator

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We're glad to hear your family was able to enjoy spending time together and that Cleo and Lauren helped make the day enjoyable with their friendly and attentive service. We're sorry the fishing didn't meet your expectations. While our captains always fish known productive areas, fishing is never guaranteed, and factors such as weather, tides, currents, and seasonal fish movements can all affect the day's catch. We understand how disappointing it can be when the fish aren't cooperating, especially if fishing was the main focus of your trip. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us continue to evaluate and improve our guest experience. We hope you'll consider joining us again in the future for another opportunity to enjoy the beautiful waters of The Bahamas.
