    Great experience

    4 Hour Trip – Sunset Fishing • 1 adult

    Weather was amazing, great being out on the ocean, to me catching fish, would have made it perfect.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Stephen, it was a nice afternoon out and as you say just a pity the fish weren’t biting. Hope to see you again in the future. June through August are normally the best times out here as that is when the Tuna are here.

    Terrible

    4 Hour Trip – Sunset Fishing • 4 adults

    Im not one for leaving reviews but this trip was shocking.Paul tried to cancel about 10 mins before our trip start time.However he turned up smelling of alcohol,the boat hadnt been prepared for us.We stood around whilst he got himself sorted and then set off out of the harbour.It quickly became obvious he had little knowledge of fishing and next to no equipment .We had 2 rods out trolling with big lures on,rusty hooks and no mono trace.He had no other lures on board to switch tactics etc,he made no attempt to find fish,just steered the boat .This as a 4hr trip but after 3 hrs he stopped the boat and made us wind in,telling us he had to get back to the harbour.No deductions were made and he still charged us the full amount.

    Response from Captain

    I'm very sorry that you did not enjoy the trip with me, as customer satisfaction is very important to me. On the day of the trip you requested that we meet earlier and I was on my way back to the harbour, in plenty of time, when my van's clutch mechanism gave way. I could not abandon my van as that is both illegal as well as irresponsible, so I contacted you immediately to let you know what was happening. I offered to cancel the trip, as I didn't know if I would be able to get to the harbour in time and that cancellation would enable you to get your deposit back from Fishing Booker, as this was unforeseen and completely beyond my control. However, I was able to limp my van into the car park but this meant that I was unable to do my usual pre-departure checks before your arrival. I had checked the lures earlier in the day and the tackle that I use is the best that I can buy in Cyprus. All my rods are in the 30 -50 lb class and my reels are either Penn or Shimano, spooled with 60lb mono straight through, so there is no need to put a leader on. I fit new hooks at the start of every season but obviously after a few trips there will be signs of rust, due to the salty sea water. There was no need for more than 2 rods as the sea state would have led to the lines becoming tangled up. We had already discussed that the trip may have to be cut short, due to the sea state and so we stopped fishing after about 3 hours and returned to the harbour, perhaps 15 minutes early, as the sea state was becoming rough. I completely refute that I had been drinking as I do not drink before a fishing trip, as passenger safety is far too important to me. It is always disappointing when no fish are caught and I apologise if I was somewhat distracted by the problem I was facing, potentially no transport to get me home again after the trip. Another day would have resulted in a better experience for you and I hope that you will try another fishing trip with me, another time and to experience the enjoyment that the majority of my passengers experience.
