Best VALUE and great experience.

VERIFIED

Captain Joe was very knowledgeable and informative about this history of the Big Island. His firstmate Shawn was very experience and tried to navigate us to the right área for catching decent fish. Although we didn't hook up to something big, our family still got some small fish to eat for dinner.
