For the price, the experience really wasnโt what we expected.ย The boat was small and old, and the Captain hardly said 3 words the entire trip.ย He was nice enough, but just would not engage and really only put us on fish in one spot, which was just some that were too small to really keep.ย I think he did that so we felt like we caught something.ย We did get a couple barracuda trolling, but I caught more fish off the hotel dock than we did with him.ย We heard from another captain that he was more into fly-fishing now, so maybe that is his focus instead of fishing for dinner, which is what we requested.ย He also assumed that he was taking all the fish until we told him that we wanted some, then he still only gave us the smaller ones.

Esley provided us with an authentic fishing trip. He took out just our family on his boat.ย His boat is small which made it more of a personal experience.ย First he went by the mangroves to catch sardines to be used for bait, then headed out to the reef.ย After, he took us back to his dock where he filleted the barracuda right on the dock for us. It was a great day!
Had a full day trip (7 hrs) confirmed. CPT cut it off at noon as he thought it was a half day. Was not prepared for our trip, late, no bait, no lunch. Party of four and only 2 could fish at a given time.ย I let my son fish the am and I was planning on the pm.ย Never got to touch a pole.
Hi Bruce, I am sorry we did not satisfy your expectations: Captain reported that someone got sea sick during the tour which cut the trip short. He did not charge you for a full day tour instead charged you for the half day instead. Only two where able to fish at a time when using LIVE BAIT which is what the captain used.ย And you all caught a mahi mahi each. Sorry for any inconveniences caused. We always appreciate feedback even if it is not what we had expected.
Esley picked us up as he promised.ย He was patient with our fishing, and patient with our questions.ย We snorkeled for a little while in the afternoon.ย When we were done, he dropped us off, took our catch to a nearby restaurant where they cooked it for us that night. Esley was professional, knowledgeable, and we had a good time. Thanks, Esley & Liz!
Everyone had a blast especially the kids!
