I wasnโt planning on writing a review b/c we did not have a good day on the water and it wasnโt really the crews fault, but this company keeps sending me links to write a review so in order to make them stop, here goes.ย The boat was large and fine.ย The water was so wavy.ย My kids all got sea sick.ย We basically practically floated an hour out to where we were going to fish.ย The captains threw some chum in the water.ย We waited for 20 minutes.ย No fish came to the top.ย We rocked and rocked and rocked while we waited for some fish to come to the top until everyone on the boat was going to vomit.ย So we turned around and went back to the dock.ย I was charged the entire amount of the charter even though we were only out at sea for 2 hours of our 4 hour trip.ย We only tried to fish for less than 30 minutes.ย I get it in some regardsโฆwe got sickโฆour loss but for such an expensive day, the captain could have told us how to prepare in advance so that we would not have gotten sick.ย And I would think a little discount would be in order on an 800 day that yeilded litterally nothing.ย I would highly recommend not booking a trip until you know which way the wind is blowing (like the morning of your fishing trip) so you can better decide if you want to go out in the ocean or on the other side.ย There are plenty of charters available and no need to book in advance.ย This would also minimize inexperienced boaters from getting sea sick on the water.

Kathleen we are so sorry that your family had gotten sea sick during your trip.ย You indicated that you have fished all around the world and no one has ever gotten sick. Unfortunately we can not control Mother Nature or isea sickness We wanted to fish on the reef where the water was calmer but you indicated that you wanted target bigger fish and go farther out to sea and in deeper water. That is exactly what we did. This also look a little longer travel time. When we get anchored and start to chum for fish in deeper water it takes some time for the fish to rise especially from 100 ft of water. Also the Yellowtail are frightened easy and need alittle time for them to come to the surface. We are sorry that your family got sea sick by this time it is unfortunate that we had to pack up and return so soon. Please remember that we are in business and have a lot of expenses , fuel, bait, chum, ice, just to mention a few that need to be paid as well and a large commission to the booking agent.ย We are not in the position to not charge for our trip when someone gets sick.ย Plus the mate always gets paid on tips. when the mate doesnโt get tipped we have to pay him out of our pocket and that we had to do. Again we are sorry that your family couldnโt handle the sea but the circumstance was out of our control.ย Sincerely Capt Tony

Thank you Daniel for the great review. We had a awesome 3/4 day trip. We caught a lot of great fish. Yellowtail, Mutton Snapper, Bonita, Bar Jack and more.ย Canโt wait to fish with you again.
The Florida weather was a bit nasty but Capt.. Tony still managed to get us out fishing for the fish. He is very professional and knows where the fish are.
Thank you for fishing with us and the Singing Reel. We where so happy that with the weather we still had a chance to get you out and was able to put you on some great fish. We will see you in May.
Thank you for booking your shark trip with us and coming aboard. We are so happy that you indicated that you had a great time and we appreciated the great tip that you you left our mate. We are happy you had a awesome night reeling in about 20 plus sharks.ย We are so lucky that we are located in the area by the bridge that we didnโt have to ride 30 min or more to find them.ย We could get you fishing right away!ย And that we did!ย Thank you, Capt Tony
Or trip was supposed to be on Friday July 5th for 3/4 day for tuna ans Dolphin. The captain called Friday at 5:30 am and canceled because he was sick so we rescheduled for Saturday the 6th. I touched base with him Friday night just to make sure were a go and he said yes. He also started talking about snapper fishing which isnโt what we originally spoke about. We arrived Saturday and he went out to the ledge or drop off which isnโt that far out and anchored. The mate than proceeded to get us set up to fish for Snapper with only 1 line in the water and 5 guest in the boat of which 4 were ready to fish. This went on for 2 1/2 hours and we pulled in 5 snapper with 1 line in the water rotating who was up. When I asked about putting more lines in the water they said it will spook the snapper. The seas ended up too ruff so we called it and made it a 1/2 day trip.ย They was never any intention of taking us on the originally planned trip to fish for tuna and Dolphin. We have been on many fishing charters over the years and this by far was the most disappointing trip I have been on.

We are sorry that you felt your trip was not what you expected.ย You an your family where so very sick during your trip that we told you we can call it a half day instead of a 3/4 if your family remained sick. The seas on the reef 4-6 ft and off shore would have been 6-8ft. On a 3/4 and full day we discussed stopping for bait, the reef for some yellowtail and then off shore for Mahi and Tuna.ย After discussing changing it to a 1/2 day we where not going off shore for two reasons one 1/2 there is not enough time to go off shore and you where all to sick and it was to ruff for your sea sick children. We allowed you change your charter and reduced our price for the day. As far as fishing one line at a time. These fish are line shy and you can only fish one line at a time or you will spook them and they will not bite at all. Also you where hooking fish the entire time but the sharks kept eating them off the hook.ย The reason we had to change your date was our dog died the eveing early morning of the 4th and we where to distrought. I would also like to say that we reduced the price of our charter to a half day for you something other charters do no do.ย If your family was not so sick we could have gone off shore.ย We cant control the waves or sea sickenss.ย And cant keep children out that are that sick.ย Everyone had a great time lauging and fishing even though the kids where so sick.ย You told us before you left what a great time you had. If you didnt you should have said something before you left.
