This was a first trip for my 3 teenage daughters, and I think it was a great time for them. Captin Ron and Damien were helpful. We didnt catch much but the sail fish at the end was a highlight for everyone on board. I would recommend going out with them and we will definitely book with them again.
Bryan thank you for the review and it was so much fun meeting you and your family. Had a great day and look forward to having you back. 
The boat was large, clean and perfect for our crew of six people. Damien, the first mate was so skilled and an exceptional professional. Ron, the captain, was great to work with and showed us a great experience!
