Captain Gavin was amazing. Took time to explain all his tricks to catching target fish. I had the family onboard and Gavin was great with them explaining all the best fishing techniques. And best of all we caught all the target species. Thanks for a great day out, highly recommended. Cheers John

The captain was very nice and provided us with a lot of fishing knowledge. Even though we were three rookie fishermen, the captain was still very patient and helped us solve any difficulties. And they also gave us more fishing time free of charge. Overall, it was a very interesting trip.
