Great crew and trip but beware
Our crew, Jaime and Felipe, were wonderful! But from arriving at dock area that morning until we actually got on boat, we had to pay at every point just to get onto dock to reach the boat. A guy met us, NOT Captain Rafael, to take us to purchase licenses which were more than what one actually costs. Later found out they only cost $15. We paid $20 per fisher. This “guy” pocketed the money and didn’t even pay the girl who issued us the licenses. Seems scammy. Then we had to pay to get ONTO dock area, $1 each person. At this point we finally met Captain Rafael and he connected us with our 2 man crew. After pushing off dock and heading out of harbor, we passed a live bait boat. Had to pay them $20 if we wanted live bait. We chose not to as it was supposed to be included in our charter! Felt like we had already been nickeled and dimed at this point. It worked out fine as the crew took us to great spots and we were able to catch several bonito, skipper jacks and Amberjack with lures. It turned out to be a great day with the crew and I highly recommend them. Just didn’t appreciate being taken advantage of on way to actual boat.
