My fishing time was rescheduled because of wind... so my option was one time and day or a refund... we had already purchased our fishing license so we figured wed give it a try, the boat was packed ! way to many people. We were literally every two foot apart around the boat. I loved the water and the captain and crew! Without them it would have been a 1 star! They made the trip by talking to everyone , and helping anyone and everyone! Wonderful captain and crew!!!

The fish weren’t biting but the experience was still great! All provided equipment was easy to use and the staff (Ray and Adam) were so great! They were attentive, conversational, welcoming, and provided an amazing restaurant recommendation! Would absolutely go again!

Fishing was terrible. Moving around looking for fish too much. It seems like they didn’t know what they were doing

It was a bit too crowded, crew was nice and boat was pretty good size. Dolphins were great, but fishing was rough, just lines crossing and so many people, it is worth the extra for a private fishing tour.
Diana_S, Jan 2024
Was great! Weather was amazing! First we wern't catching but our guide moved us and everyone on the boat started catching!

The deck hands were great with the kids. Fun to fish in a group and everyone took a loaded stringer home! Would do it again 100%
Elaine_L, Jan 2024
The easy to use rod and reels. The staff provided the bait and fishing supplies. The instructions and help from the staff for my kids. Catching fish! The staff even cleaned the fish when we were done and we ate the fresh fish at a restaurant nearby!

Going out on the boat the crew were very helpful and helped with all aspects of the trip. Saw dolphins also.

Thank you for your review.

Cesar was very pleasant, friendly, and responsive.
Sadly, the three locations we were taken did not result in anyone catching a fish--stingrays but no fish.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you!!1 Unfortunately, fishing can be very tough at times. We hope you enjoyed your trip overall.

Very helpful with kids. First time fishing was a great experience for my kid. We fished a red snapper and had the opportunity to see dolphins.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
WOOHOO!!! Fish on! Happy to hear your kids had a great experience. Thank you for the review!
