  Disappointing - Billing Issues

  Uscita di pesca al BIG GAME Tonno il settembre 14, 2026 • 2 adulti

  We booked the seven-hour tuna trip with Mario. There was some initial confusion about the pickup location because Mario does not appear to check messages on the FishingBooker app frequently, but we eventually connected and headed out. On the way, Mario suggested that we target mahi-mahi instead of tuna. He said tuna fishing was boring and that we would be more likely to catch fish targeting mahi-mahi. We agreed to follow his recommendation. We then spent approximately two hours and forty minutes trying to catch small mackerel for bait. We caught one. After that, we trolled around a temperature buoy for a couple of hours and caught one small mahi-mahi. That was the only fish we caught for the remainder of the trip. At about 11:30, Mario asked whether we wanted to get lunch. There was no food on the boat, and we had not been told in advance that we should bring food, so I agreed. He dropped us at the dock of a nice restaurant and left. We ate lunch, and he returned about an hour later. At that point, he told us we had only about 40 minutes of fishing time remaining before we needed to head back. We returned to the same area we had fished earlier, used the single mackerel we had caught that morning, and then returned to port. The payment issue was more troubling. Mario insisted that I either pay in cash or pay an additional 10% for using a credit card. I did not have that amount of cash with me and told him I did not want to pay an additional 10%. He said he would come back later to collect cash. In the meantime, I reviewed the booking information and discovered that the mahi-mahi trip was priced approximately €300 less than the tuna trip I had booked. Since Mario had recommended changing the target species and we had, in fact, taken the mahi-mahi trip rather than the tuna trip, I called him and raised the issue. The conversation became argumentative. Mario initially insisted that I pay the higher tuna-trip price simply because that was what I had originally booked. I told him I was prepared to pay for the trip he recommended and actually provided. He responded with several unnecessary personal comments, including suggesting that I must not have the money and saying that I was the only customer with whom he had ever had a payment dispute. He ultimately agreed to charge the lower mahi-mahi rate. He also acknowledged that the booking terms provide for a 5% surcharge for credit-card payments, not the 10% he had initially demanded. We understood that fishing is fishing and that no charter can guarantee catching fish. My disappointment was about what we caught. It was the combination of changing us from the more expensive tuna trip to a less expensive trip, spending a substantial portion of the charter catching bait, losing roughly an hour of the booked trip to lunch, and then having a dispute over being charged the higher trip price and an incorrect credit-card surcharge.

  I am sorry you had a bad experience; I tried my absolute best—as always—to meet your requests, but it simply didn't work out, sir. First, you booked a trip for two, then messaged me that three people were coming—which wasn't a problem. Then, just half an hour before the trip (at 7:26 AM), you messaged me asking to be picked up at the private marina where your boat was docked—even though we had agreed on a different plan the day before. I risked a fine just to accommodate you so you wouldn't have to walk 200 meters (as you saw for yourself when I dropped you off there and a marina employee immediately intervened). You also messaged me saying four people were coming and that you hadn't had breakfast; that wasn't a problem for me either—even with four people and a dog (and the dog wasn't an issue at all for me; I love dogs). I agreed to pick you up closer to your location at no extra charge—even though that usually costs extra and isn't included in the price, as clearly stated in the listing description, and even though you were a 40-minute drive away from my marina (the standard departure point). That wasn't a problem for me either. Furthermore—as I am always honest with my customers—I told you that the tuna weren't particularly active at the moment, but you insisted on *any* kind of active fishing. You didn't even want to try—despite my urging and the fact that I already had 5 kg of sardine bait prepared for tuna. If you don't try, you'll never know; you can only guess. Regarding lunch, I made a suggestion because you complained about not having breakfast (you are an adult, after all, and should know that if we don't offer... ...food on board, as stated in the description—spending seven hours at sea can be very exhausting without food. There was more than enough to drink for everyone, even the dog; this was, of course, included in the excursion price, just as the listing description states. At the end of the day, we had a communication issue regarding payment for the booked excursion, but we resolved that too. As the listing description notes, payment can be made by cash or card, with a 5% surcharge for card payments; the choice of payment method is entirely up to you—AS STATED IN THE LISTING DESCRIPTION. Best regards & tight lines

  4 ore di pesca al big game

  Uscita di pesca al BIG GAME Tonno il settembre 7, 2023 • 2 adulti

  È stata un'esperienza incredibile per me. Ero un po' spaventato ma il capitano mi ha aiutato a rilassarmi. Hanno fatto un lavoro fantastico e hanno continuato ad alimentare i pesci per 4 ore senza sosta. Non ho contato quanto esca hanno lanciato in acqua, ma era tantissima. All'inizio pescavo pesci piccoli mentre aspettavo il tonno e ne ho presi alcuni. Poi il capitano ha detto 'vieni, c'è un tonno' e l'ho visto nuotare sotto la barca, forse a un metro da me. Dopo qualche minuto ha abboccato e ho sentito la lenza scorrere come un treno. Il pesce ha portato l'esca in profondità e ha tagliato la lenza con i denti. Eravamo molto dispiaciuti di non averlo preso, ma è stato divertentissimo e un'esperienza unica. Gli ho fatto domande per circa 3 ore su tutto e lui mi ha spiegato tutto quello che volevo sapere. Tornerò sicuramente in inverno con lui a pescare, così riuscirò a prendere un tonno. Quando fa caldo come a settembre, è difficile pescare ma sono stato molto fortunato. Il periodo migliore è sicuramente novembre e dicembre. Sono molto felice di aver vissuto questa esperienza e con il light tackle è stato incredibile sentire l'oceano. Avevamo un piombo da 200g sotto l'esca e ogni volta che un pesce abboccava anche solo un po', riuscivo a sentirlo. Grazie mille per questa esperienza straordinaria.
