We trolled for several hours and hooked up with this nice tuna. We had 2 bites before this guy but he was the only fish that we got in the boat. The Captain and First Mate were great and had plenty of beer on ice for us. The boat was in great shape and the gear was setup nice. Make sure you have cash to pay for the trip.

We didn’t catch anything, which can happen. Even so, it would have been nice if the crew had explained a bit about fishing, what is biting and where. We did not even touch a fishing rod….. 4 hours wasted, I would not recommend this trip.

We always strive for excellent service and a great experience - 5 out of 5. We know as well that unfortunately human beings sometimes when they do not get what they want can turn and try to harm others reputation. It is very unfortunate and sad that your grand daughter and the other girl got sea sick on our way to our favorite fishing spots.You came to me and told me to go back where the sea was calmer, that moment is when you got disappointed was not because of me but there where children sea sick onboard and you did not expect that. even your daughter came to the bridge and said next time only me and you dad as we always go fishing.I still granted you an extra hour and a half went fishing in calmer waters to accomodate you and the children that was not feeling well.
We are disappointed as well we could not complete our fishingtrip as planned.
Your review is a disappointment to us.
