We liked the trip overall. One item that we were unhappy about is once we boarded the boat, we learned there was no bait on board. We then went 30 minutes by boat to an area where they could catch bait fish (sardines). They spent 1:30 minutes catching bait fish while we sat and watched. We were very unhappy about that.
My expectations would be that when we boarded the boat they would already have the live bait on board & weโd simply head out to fish. Given this wasnโt the case, we wasted 2 hours getting the bait fish versus fishing.
If they have to go get bait fish, Iโd suggest letting the guests fish for them. This way they have a fun experience of catching them as well as fishing for the large fish.
Overall though, we were happy with the boat and crew.

The guys were great l, the seas were super rough and we didnโt have very much luck out there..itโs called fishing though not catching, there were great views all around and the captain kept me entertained regardless of the weather.. I will be doing another trip when the weather is better and will do a full day next time more time on the boat is always better 5 stars regardless these guys were greay
Had an unforgettable experience with the โWarner brosโ!!!! I highly recommend this excursion if you are looking to hook MULTIPLE rooster fish. We hooked 8 fish total and reeled in 3 rooster fish and a shark.
Just my wife and I were going on this trip, so I selected a smaller boat that I thought from the pictures was equipped with everything you would expect on a larger. Like an air conditioned cabin to get a break from the heat, and a bathroom that a lady wouldnโt mind using. Regardless of what you see in the pictures this boat does not have either. The air conditioner is in the cabin with no inverter to run it, the bathroom is a makeshift toilet thatโs been placed where the bed would be with no toilet seat. It was extremely hot down there and disgustingly dirty my wife had to pull a water bottle from the toilet prior to being able to use it. But on the other hand the crew, captain in first mate were fabulous. They worked extremely hard all day hooking us up with a Sailfish, two Marlon, and five Mahi-mahi for dinner. I would like to thank both of them once again for saving the trip!!

Unfortunately I wouldnโt recommend the trip-we weโre informed upon arrival at 7am that the balance needed to be paid in cash-we didnโt have the $500 in cash on hand-were told where an atm was but unfortunately we have a limit on atm withdrawal per day. Finally told they could do the balance by credit card but all of this took at least half an hr. When we finally got on the boat we headed to catch the bait fish and the crew only had one pole for bait fish-the boat next to us had a couple and weโre pulling in double what we pulled in-then the crew knowing we were missing our window left with a small Amt of bait fish even tho we spent over an hour and we finally began fishing.ย We fished with no luck for a long time - the boat near us caught 5 big snook.ย We were then out of bait and had to go spend another hour looking for bait. The trip was a half day trip 7-12 and cost $600 plus tip so nearly $700.ย We were told a variety of refreshments and snacks would be provided.ย Abt half an hour into the trip one of the crew asked if we wanted a snack and as it was early we said not yet-he then pulled out a bag of lays potato chips and proceeded to eat most of the bag-that was the extent of our โsnacksโ. He also helped himself to many of the drinks and he and other crew member drank the last 2 beers. During the beginning of the trip the 2 crew(brothers) didnโt seem too concerned abt the lack of fish catching but I will say the last hour they did put a lot more effort unfortunately it was midday by this point and not much biting. They were very nice and having fished a lot and in different places around the world I understand that fish donโt always bite-that being said I just honestly would not go with this charter again because it lacked professionalism in my opinion.
