This boat provides a no nonsense fishing trip. Crew was very friendly and professional . The boat is well suited and stocked with cold drinks and snacks. If the fish are there your sure to catch them.

Fantastic day on Dos Mas with Captain McGuinness. Donald knows the area like the back of his hand. We were largely wanting to spearfish, and he got us tons of blue water, FADS and reef opportunities. And threw in some reel fishing for fun. Best day of our trip and we would totally hook it again with him.

Donald knows the area like no one else, basically can guarantee fishing. The boat is wide, which makes it more comfortable than the regular center console.
