Overall

This was what I consider to be false advertisement and the crew was not prepared for a party our size after they confirmed our reservation. The Captain acted like he was not aware we were coming. No fish of any sort were caught and with 9 people in my party only my step son got to attempt to real in a poll 1 time in 5 hours.

Do you mean the 4 hour trip you booked thinking it was a boat? This listing clearly starts out in the details ——> ❌NOT A BOAT❌ You could have left without your deposit, but chose to stay and “Fish”.

You could have left without your deposit, but chose to stay and “Fish”.
Please make sure when you’re booking something that you know all the details .
Y’all showed up to this trip thinking it was a boat because you thought it was a “cheap” boat trip. So you started this trip disappointed.
That’s not my fault that’s yours .
Y’all stayed so drunk that you were puking, walking around cussing and raising hell.
Another thing you need to understand (Fishing) is (Fishing) .
Not every time people go fishing they catch fish .

And I’ve catered to three times the size of your party and done just fine .
Your expectations were through the roof.
You didn’t even bring water for your kids when it clearly states in the details what you need to bring for yourself and your party.
And honestly, it was the longest 5 hours that I’ve had to deal with to date.
Yes, 5hrs.
You only paid for 4 I allowed 5 and offered longer to help the chances of catching something.
And then you were so drunk that you actually overpaid me and then I let you know that you have given me too much money .

So sorry that you had a bad experience. There’s hundreds of clients before you that had a great time. .
Maybe (Shark Fishing) from the beach is not your thing.

Y’all get 0 ⭐️

Gulf Coast Yaker’s has plenty of photos on their site of customers catching sharks for a reason. They know exactly what they’re doing and all of those photos are proof of it! Our group witnessed it first hand too and we were all in disbleif when we caught our first catch (a 4 ft shark) within less than 2 hours. BTW we only booked it for 4 hours so they are very efficient at what they do. Also, out of those 4 hours booked we really only had 3 hours because we were late due to us not knowing... More

Love fishing 🎣 and know that not every time will you catch but we were able to catch a sandbar shark 🦈 that was 6 feet and around 150 pounds. Steven had everything setup before we arrived, fishing poles already ready, chairs, fire pit, and drone/kayak to take bait out far. Great experience and will do again soon. Also was able to catch a red drum that was around 40 pounds.
