We had a blast. Caught some mahimahi and enjoyed the company of the guides. A great charter.
Fun but no fish

The crew and boat were really good Unfortunately, we didn't have good luck and were left without any fish. No fault of the guides. Just one of those days.
Not impressed
2019/12/03Families with Young ChildrenUnhappy customer
The two people running the boat barely acknowledged us when we arrived. Never asked our names, where we were from, nothing. We had our two boys with us and when they finally did ask what we wanted to fish for we said thi...ngs the boys could catch (they are 5 and 7)
Spent over two hours fishing for bait that we didn’t even use!!! They wanted it for the next trip.
Never talked with us. Unfortunately didn’t ever come across anything.
