The whole of crew of the Miss Aegina was fantastic!  Captain Sean, Deckmaster Jake, and Deckhand Dayton were awesome to be with for our trip.  They made sure that everyone understood safety and proper fishing techniques. 

Our first run at the trip on Wednesday got cut short by a nasty Thunderstorm but the guys took great care of everyone and they offered us a raincheck for the next day.  We really appreciated their willingness to work with us and reschedule even though we know they can’t control the weather. 

Take 2!  Thursday we got off to a beautiful sunrise and the baitfish were hot!  They put us on the bigger fish pretty quick and it wasn’t long before everyone was reeling in feisty King Mackerel.  We kept 8 (including a pretty big one maybe 15 lbs that made my 8yo son work super hard for it), threw back 4 smaller ones, and caught a couple of odd looking Remora / suckerfish. 

We had 3 adults and 4 kids, age ranges from 6 to 11.  I can not say enough about how awesome the crew was with the kids.  Very friendly and patient.  The boat is very comfortable, stable, and capable for the day trip.  It was well equipped with excellent fishing gear.  It has a very wide cockpit with plenty of room to move around when the action gets hot.

We will definitely book again!  Now that we know our kids have great “sea legs” we’ll go for a longer bottom fishing excursion with the Miss Aegina.

There were nine of all together.  Pops, the eldest, two sons, a daughter and 4 grandkids.  Everyone had something different to accomplish and each had their own ideas about what to expect.  No one was disappointed.  The boat was ideal and built for fishing in Florida.  Wide cockpit so there was plenty of room to move about, good equipment that operated without a flaw, great captain and most important two wonderful crew.  The guys were right on top of the fishing experience, they allowed the kids to do their thing, were to pushy and were very helpful.  The catch was cleaned and iced and ready to go when we reached shore.
  Good time was had by all and grilled king mackerel tastes good too.

45 minutes after departure
The generator stopped working.
The boat was leaking a lot of oil which made it harder to catch fish.
We bought bait, and while headed out to catch fish, the live well no longer had fresh water so the bait died before catcher ng fish.
I feel we were cut short due to mechanical problems.
We were supposed to have deck hands and instead we got the diesel mechanic and a women whom drank all day, smelled of alcohol and told us she was technically not part of the crew. At one point, I, a paying customer walked out and politely asked her if they were making her fish. Thinking she would give the paying customer the pole. But no, she just kept fishing.
I had 13 people with me.
Only six could fish at a time. I had five people sick so that left 8 people to fish and take turns. Not pay for my so called crew to fish.
While coming back in, the engine over headed and hit working. Yes I know there is another one. But the other one was making a lot of Bose it shouldn’t make. The deckhand/ machanic went down below and went to sleep and when he awoke
The passengers told him we were down an engine.
After looking at it and saying it had run low on oil
He said it was low when the day started.
I just don’t think it was very professional at all.
This was not my first time on this boat, but my Fourth
No other time did I have a bad experience but this time was horrible. We weren’t offered a discount for any inconvenience and I will definitely not charter this boat again nor ré commended them to anyone

Couldn’t have had a better day on the ocean catching our limit of King Mackerel and Red Snapper in addition to catching Spanish Snapper and a few other types.  We totally enjoyed our time and will definitely be back on Miss Aegina next year!

I’ve been on several charter trips and done pretty good on most of them but this trip by far was one of the best trips. We caught plenty fish and made new friend with the boat crew while doing so. I would definitely recommend this charter to anyone. They were more than accommodating and Like to cut up and have a good time as much as we did..
