My husband, 15 year old son, and his 15 year old friend had a great time! Garrett was so great at rearranging our trip due to the tropical storm. He made sure they had a wonderful experience. All of them caught fish! Garrett worked so hard to make sure they caught fish. All the boys were super happy and had an excellent time. We would for sure book with him again.
This fishing trip was the best! Captain Garrett was so chill and personable. I went with my sister, cousin, and best friend on my sister’s bachelorette trip. We learned a lot, caught several fish, and had breathtaking views. The trip was so good, we turned around and went again the next morning! The memories we made will last a lifetime!
Garrett was AMAZING with our kids. It was our 9 year olds first fishing trip and he was extremely patient while taking the time to teach him about salt water fishing. If we make it back to the Panama area we will be sure to book with him again.
