The description on fishing booker clearly states that we are in control of keeping or throwing away the fish. Upon boarding, I have read everything on fishingbooker.com. The crew was supposed to provide food and drinks, only drinks were offered. When we got onto the boat, as tourists, we did not have anywhere to keep the fish after we have caught them. We kindly asked to throw the fish back into the ocean when we reeled them up, the crew boldly stated that โwe have to feed our families, throwing the fish back is not an optionโ. First of all, we have payed you over $300 for 4 hours of fishing, I think we are 100% involved in the decision making of keeping the fish or not. Alright, I ignored the fact that they didnโt want to throw away the fish into the water. When we got back, we asked the captain to cut some fish for us so we can take it home to eat since they neglected to throw it back into the water. Upon cutting the fish, not to mention the worst part, I heard the crew shouting โthatโs enough, donโt cut anymoreโ. I did not pay too much attention to it at the time. When I got back home, I understood that the fish that we caught was considered a rare fish โWahooโ and that they make an extra profit when they take it back and sell it. They played us, not only did they insist on giving them a tip, they also got fish to sell because they denied our request to throw it back into the water. This was by far the worst trip I have been on and wish for my money to be refunded for unprofessional service!

Hi, thank you for the review. You paid to go fishing and caught nice Wahoo, Barracuda and a small Tuna. When you asked to throw the fish back you were kindly explained that they live of the ocean. We would release Sailfish, Blue and White Marlin and most sharks. Fish that are to small or not used. At the dock you wanted to eat the fish you wanted to throw back. No problem you got boneless Wahoo filets. No bad fillets of a Wahoo. Not correct. Job well done, absolutely no reason for refund. Even though we appreciate a tip we would never think of asking for it. Insisting is out of the question. Not correct. We communicate in Papiamento, as you did in your language. No one would shout the words that is enough donโt cut anymore. Not the truth and not correct. Wahoo is not a rare fish. Not correct. No where does it say on Fishing Booker that we provide food on a four hour charter. Not correct. We are serious fisherman the make our living of the ocean. Through professionals that work hard to do a Job well done. Today we are fishing with people that fished with us years ago and came back not because of the fish they caught but because of the service. Even remembered our names. Again a professional organization with good equipment. Roberto B. Tromp.ย Owner/Captain (you name it)

Boat engine failed for ten minutes in very rough water, they did fix it but mean while we were sideways in huge swells felt like we were capsizing. We all talked and thought about offering an extra 100.00 to take us home. Worst exp ever.
The engine failed and we were up and running in a couple of min. The outrigger lines were even left out. If we were in danger you would have had to put on your life jackets. Several boats in the area were ready give us a hand which was not needed. You could have offered that help to. We were all in the same boat or not. I can understand you not feeling comfortable because the seas were higher than normal swells but no breakers. No need going into your other atrocious comments. Wonโt go that low. Roberto
