Ok, so let me start by saying this was the worst deep sea fishing trip I have EVER been. I take these family/friends deep sea trips every year at this time, so I know what to expect. Capt. James was a nice guy at first, but you can definitely see his attitude change during the trip. The boat was extremely slow and to make matters worst, one engine broke down and was struggling to operate. The engine and boat is very old, so thereโs no way you can get up to 26 knots (30 mph). This made our cruise out take 5-1/2 hours just to go out 85 miles very difficult before we could drop the first fishing line. Our cruise back was 4-1/2 hours. So our 14 hr trip, 10 hours was just cruising. NOT FISHING!!
I chose this boat because the speed of the boat will determine how much fishing time you actually have. The AIR CONDITIONER did not work, which was the other reason I chose this boat. I had asked him about the air conditioner prior to the voyage, but got no response back. On top of that, we were only allowed 4 fishing lines down at one time. Well we have 8 people that split the cost of this trip. Everyone was pretty upset as you can imagine. Their was no live bait, and they ran out of steel leaders for the fishing rods. You CANNOT FISH WITHOUT IT!!! I lost many fish trying.
On top of all that our deck hand got sea sick and was vomiting. He was arguing with Capt. James pretty much the whole time, which was very discouraging. Unfortunately with him getting sick, he was not very helpful. I had to tie my own lines and hooks after they each broke one after another.
I hate leaving bad reviews, but this is just an honest occurrence of events. NOT AN OPINION!!!
