Great trip

We had a great experience with Dona Nina, caught fish and saw whales. Was perfect for people new to salt water.

Slow Fishing, but Great Crew

VERIFIED   Half Day Trip on January 7, 2024
We really enjoyed our trip. The boat and crew were great. We only boated 2 barracuda, but it wasnโ€™t from lack of effort.
