Trip not at all as advertised. No boat and time slot less then advertised

West Coast Trip2 adults
Response from Charter operator

I am sorry to hear you fee this way, however I believe this review is super unfair and uncalled for. 1. The trip clearly says the following: “The above package is offered for shore (Rock & Surf) fishing as well as offshore (Boat) fishing.” What is misleading about this? 2. From the outset it was made clear that depending on conditions, if there are no fish around to catch from the boat, we will be fishing from the shore or vice versa. This was communicated and agreed on, on a few occasions. I have attached the screen shots from our chat My job as fishing guide is to try get clients onto fish. Unfortunately I am not control of the ocean or fish as conditions and behaviour change the best I can do is work with what I have. I simply chose what is best in terms of conditions and the chance to get a fish or two. On a few occasions during our session yesterday we discussed why the area we have selected to fish at is the best place to get some fish and why it is the best possibility. The guys even agreed. I cannot do more than that unfortunately. In terms of time slot, the guys where happy to pack up at 13:00, of they wanted to stay longer they could have said so. They are welcome to come for another session when they are back in the Cape for a few hours free of charge.
