We had a great trip with Vaughn and his crew! If you're looking to fish around Jamaica, please check them out!
Vaughn was super responsive and knowledgeable with any questions I had. He helped arrange transport for us to and from the dock, which was awesome. The boat was very nice; it had an air-conditioned interior with a toilet and a comfortable couch, and a nice, mostly covered top deck (watch your head on the way up!). On the full-day trip, we were treated to sandwiches, soda, water, and Red Stripe!
The crew was terrific. Captain Munchie, Snow, Barrington, and Marshal kept everything going smoothly and checked on us several times to make sure we didn't need another drink or anything else. They worked hard to find us the best spots to fish and were very keen observers, looking for birds in the sky or signs of fish in the water. The second the line snapped, they all jumped into action like a well-oiled machine.
The sea was a bit rough while we were out; bring along some Dramamine, even if you don't think you usually get seasick. Otherwise, the ride was very peaceful. It was a lot of fun watching the flying fish; there were SO MANY of them, and they were definitely cool to see.
Overall, we found just one large school of Tuna, which was a lot of fun in the frenzy of reeling them in 3-4 at a time. No big catch for us this time, but that happens - no one's fault!
If we are back in Jamaica, we will definitely book with Vaughn and crew again for another shot at the big catch!
