Fifth charter!

Full Day Trip7 adults1 child

This was our fifth trip with Federico’s, we’ve always had great trips with them. We had Victor and Gustavo as our crew, and as always, they were friendly, professional, and did their best to make sure we had a good trip. We put a comment when we booked that we wanted to go after bigger fish, and as you can see from the pictures, they delivered! We actually had to stop going for grouper because we hit our limit. We shifted to going for bass and trigger fish, and they put us right on the fish again. Wonderful trip once again!

    Bare bones

    Half Day Trip • 6 adults

    We did catch fish. Mostly all trigger fish and a few striped bass. The boat was old and very unsteady. Difficult to walk around. About a foot wide with a very low railing. Difficult to fish without feeling you're going yo go overboard. If you want water or anything to eat or drink ypu need to bring it. If you want music you need to bring a way to play it. Two of the six of us ended up bleeding from falling or getting banged into the boat and not much concern from staff. No first aid kit was seen. The captain and mates fished also and as it states you also need ti catch bait because they ran out. $500 plus $100 in tips. I'm sure there are better options.

    Response from Charter operator

    Hi Joanne, Thank you for sharing your feedback and for joining us on the water. Our boats are equipped with first‑aid kits, and the crew did not observe any injuries or receive any requests for medical assistance during your trip. Food and drinks are not included in this charter (as stated in the trip details), but the crew provided some snacks and drinks as a courtesy. Music is available via Bluetooth on board so guests can choose what to listen to. We’re glad you caught fish, and we’re sorry that aspects of the boat and overall comfort did not meet your expectations. Your comments have been noted, so we can keep improving. Best regards.
