Great day!
5/5
If you’re looking for an offshore guide, I would highly suggest Captain Mendez. He was more excited to catch fish then we were. He asked us what we wanted to do and succeeded. He and his mate provided excellent service, drinks, lunch, and even a snack of what we caught at the end of the day!
