The boat was nice and clean. The captain and his assistant were nice but not very talkative. We sat on the boat for 4 hours watching the fishing pools. It was very interactive. Wished we would have pushed to stop to swim since we were not catching anything.

No life jackets were shown or described if needed. Crew member was loud, obnoxious, unsympathetic and dictatorial. Caught 2 fish on half day excursion in worse waters ever.
