8 hour trip offshore
Do not charter this boat. I should get a refund for the trip. No air conditioning, toilet didn't work and smelled terrible, bait well didn't work, no generator. The boat blew nasty black smoke all day and we caught a bunch of little grunts. The mate was a mouthy disrespectful 20 year old with 40 years experience. Not at all as advertised!






Don, I usually try to keep things on a professional manner as that is how our charter business is operated. However, I am straight out calling you a liar on your entire review which is not something I would normally do. Let’s start with your first lie. When you booked your charter there was nothing listed about Air Conditioning. I even called FishingBooker to confirm that you booked after I had removed the vessel from having AC. Lie #2- the toilet did work, however I did not feel that it was my job to explain how a simple flush peddle worked. Lie #3- the bathroom was cleaned and sanitized the morning of your trip, therefore if it smelled it was what you were depositing in my holding tank. Lie #4- how do you know the bait well doesn’t work? We never used it and I assure you it works as I just put in a brand new pump in it recently. But once again, we never used it. Lie #5- No generator- the boat does have a generator, however since I am waiting on the HVAC tech to work on getting my AC units fixed then there is no need to run it Lie#6- ALL diesels blow smoke after idling for a period of time, however once the turbos kicked in the smoke went away. It in NO way blew black smoke all day and your lack of knowledge on diesel combustion engines is far from being an expert or even someone who has a clue. Lie #7- you seem to forgot the Red Grouper your group lost at boat side as nobody listened. You also seem to forget that your group fed 5 pounds of Squid plus cut bait to the fish in less then 2 hours without attempting to set a hook. Your lack of bringing fish to the dock was not due to the Captain or mate not doing their job but to yourself and your group. Lie #8- The mate and I joke around to break up the monotony of a slow day. Had he been that bad you and your group would not have tipped him $400. What this all comes down to Don is that you wanted to catch Pelagics and even though I advised you over and over that they were very few and far between due to the water temps and weather you still wanted to chase them for most of the day and YOU cannot accept responsibility that the reason you ended up with a bad trip is due to YOU however you seem to be the type to not want to own up to your faults. Myself and the mate did everything possible to put fish in the box, however the lacking was on yourself and your party and not wanting to listen to what a professional advises which you were advised that we should have went bottom fishing. As I started this off Don, you are a liar and you are not welcome aboard my vessel ever again. I apologize to others who read this but I refuse to let a liar run down my business. Oh! Btw! Don! Looks like a working livewell to me
