Mediocre
No communication, group of 6 caught 1 fish each, didn’t explain what we could expect and what we might catch, lot of comments about making money off of tourists, got a fish shrugged shoulders and was like welp let’s go back home wouldn’t recommend explained another boat caught mahi said it’s too far but if you’re spending this much money you’d think crew would ask what everyone’s interest in, seemed rushed and seemed just about making a quick buck
