A very clean boat and equipment exceptionally well maintained..

Deckhand was a true “fishing is my life” guy and efforts he put in was rewarded with a few decent fish. Granted we lost a few too.

Based on high scores, we chose Funthaisea Game Fishing – Guzel. We were received excellently, but when we boarded the boat, we realized we had gotten a different boat than the one pictured. It appeared poorly maintained and dirty, and bore the name of another charter company. The fact that the crew didn’t speak any English wouldn’t have been a problem if they had been service-minded, but unfortunately, we found the crew more interested in each other and a small boy who was also on board than in us as guests. When we were trolling, there was little activity in terms of trying different types of bait, etc., and for bottom fishing, the equipment was of varying quality and contained errors that limited the joy of fishing. We also wanted to try jigging, but the crew was busy with that on the foredeck, so we couldn’t try that method. I tried to communicate with the crew about various things, but with their very limited English skills, this was difficult. The lunch on board was okay, but the hygiene of the crew was not satisfying so that eating was not very appealing. All in all, a poor experience.

Great crew, knowledgeable, in what they were doing. Had a great time.

The booking process, administration and communications were all excellent. The two guys running the boat really knew their stuff and we caught plenty: kingfish, tuna, barracuda and three beautiful sailfish.

Nice boat and ok crew. Great correspondance before trip, but unfortunately nobody even touched a Rod in 6 hours, which is the least you expect
