Fishing was ok. Baits kept getting seaweed or bit short and were not cleaned and changed. All cudas. We did stop and bottom fish which was cool but they didn’t let us do that long. Lunch was ham sandwich with chips. Was different guys than description mentioned. Also paying the balance was a mess, they wanted cash when i was told cc, but I made that work with the owner that was not there. They also kept all the fish! Would had been nice to get the snapper or yellow tail cooked..I fish alot, I rate this as a 2.5. Just trolling down the beach hoping for a bite isint worth 1400 for 8 hours.

We specifically looked for a boat with a restroom and AC. We have been on other fishing charters with these amenities. Just nice to have if they are needed, ie, someone not feeling well. Bathroom had no seat and running water. A/C was a blower fan? The exhaust fumes from the engine were also kinda strong. Sorry, I normally am a positive review guy, but this didn’t rate anywhere near our other fishing experiences. Positive: The crew was very friendly and worked hard. Can not fault their effort.

Freddy and the crew were true professionals, had everything prepared ready for fishing and kindly accommodated taking a break so the family could go snorkeling. He knew the local waters well, was able to find the key areas where the different fish were located. A wonderful day out even though we were not expert fishermen they kindly helped and explained everything as well as the local history of the areas we were visiting. Great communication and directions prior to the trip so was very easy to find and exactly on time. Would recommend both for amateurs and professionals given how some of the crew participate in tournaments. A relaxing and fun trip with some great catch!!

Captain Freddy was easy to get in touch with prior to the charter with an email and a text message. The dock was only 5 minutes from the resort, which was super convenient. When we arrived at the dock there wasn’t a clear sign or directions on where to exactly meet up with the boat. We did meet a gentleman that helped us out and showed us where to meet-up with the Reel Hooker. The Captain and two deck hands had everything setup and ready for us to go trolling as soon as we stepped on the boat.
My group consisted of 5 kids (9, 9, 11, 14 & 15) and 3 adults. This was our guys day out while on vacation. As soon as we got out of the canal and on the open water it was pretty rough going. 40 minutes into it 3 of the kids were sea sick. Captain Freddy was very understanding and brought us back to the dock. On our way back we landed a huge sail fish that one of the boys got to reel in.
The boat was a little crowded with 8 of us and the crew in the beginning. There was plenty of water, soda and beer as well as they made us some very interesting dishes to snack on, shrimp ceviche was one of them. The crew was very hard working and proved their expertise to show us a great time. To anyone looking for a great fishing experience I would definitely recommend doing this Charter.
Thanks for having us aboard.

The crew was great, they worked hard to catch something but the water was choppy. When I got on board I was asked how I would be paying and I said by credit card. When we got back, the captain said the credit card machine was down and that I would have to go to an ATM to get the money to pay. Not happy about that when they said they took credit cards.
