Thank you, Captain Benny, for putting me on my first Mahi! Canโt wait to go fishing again!
We had booked a charter for 5 people for 10+ hours . My 78 year old mother thankfully declined to go. The captain knew of her advanced age and said he could accommodate us; he clearly could not. The boat was very small with no bathroom facilitiesโฆย I had inquired before about bringing chairs because of being unable to stand 10 hours and was told to bring them no problem.ย Immediately upon arrival he said thereโs no room for chairs or anything. So I sat on some sort of box while the rest sat on the side of the boat. We are meat fishermen, we want food not trophies and had specifically asked if we would fish for snapper, grouper, hogfish, and was told with a 1p hour trip weโd fish for everything but, all the capt wanted to fish for was mahi, wahoo, and mackerel , we only found 1 school of small mahi, which was fun but after trolling another 3 hours with nothing we requested to fish for something else, grouper, snapper, whatever just wanted to catch fish not boat ride. The capt started to do as weโd asked but got mad and said we could troll.or nothing.ย We ended the trip hours early but did pay him for the full trip plus a small tip.

People dream to get what yall got that day. we ran miles off shore in a flat ocean and found schools of mahi (meat).. i suggest next time do more research and make the proper plans in advance instead of having expectations and making requests the day of the trip..
Ok for 2 max Seating wet
We were really excited for this trip since we have never done anything like this. The day started great Benny was super friendly but, as the day went on it got worse. When we were in the area to start fishing Benny gave one of us the steering wheel to the boat to drive it while he got the poles situated, we have zero experience driving a boat in the ocean. This made us both very nervous. I understand that the weather is unpredictable but the waves were horrible, I have been in the ocean before on a boat but this was so bad. We felt unsafe the entire time. We ended up getting sea sick and going back to shore 2 hours early, which was our decision. But I would suggest that Benny have someone else help him with the steering and/or fishing gear.

Sorry about your experience but 1 there ARE waves in the ocean and you getting seasick is out of my control.. 2 most people like to fish themselves and be apart of the experience, not just watch me do EVERYTHING. My suggestions to you are dont book a last min fishing trip on a few hrs notice, check the weather reports and to stick to lakes of you think that was rough..ย thanks for a bad review for something thats out of my control..
