We had a great time on the boat, the crew was great and very friendly. They worked hard to get fish on the boat. We lost the one bite we had, but still had an excellent time!

Thank you for the review stacy. It was a nice day on the water indeed. Glad you and your family still enjoyed your trip eventhough we did not catch anything. We worked the water really hard but it was just a fishingday today. It was really tough for a lot of boats today. Hope to see you back onboard next time you are on the island. Gr. Capt.

Had a great time. Bite was slow, but crew worked their tails off trying to change things up and do what they could. Managed to put two nice Mahi’s in the box when most boats did not.
