        Wonderful experience!  - Had a lovely time and caught lots of sea bass and a couple croakers too! Very fun experience and will definitely do it again! I didn’t catch the captains name but he and help mate Jack were both friendly and involved with the trip.

        Good people - First let me make clear that we did not get to go fishing with this company. That is why I am leaving this review. We had an excursion booked and the weather was not  going to cooperate. They called me and let me know over 24 hrs in advance so I was able to make other plans. They very easily could've waited to see what the weather was going to do and canceled last minute and then my whole.day would have been shot tells me they put people over profit. Hopefully so.e day in the future I will get to do the trip.

The mate and captain were good. The sea was kind of rough, but still caught a few fish

        Fishing was good. - Captain kept the fishing fresh by moving when they weren’t biting. He did a great job. First mate also kept busy taking care of all of the guests.

        Great adventure  - This was a great experience! The boat road out was about 1 hr and 15 minutes and very relaxing. A few people on the boat caught little sharks.  We moved spots 4 times to find a better spot.  Our final spot was a good mine! Everyone was catching seabass.

        A Nice Morning on the Ocean - The captain worked to find us spots to catch fish. Went to three spots and saw some dolphins along the way. My son, who is 10, caught two sea bass at our last spot. Others on the trip caught some small sharks and small fish. It was a fun trip on the water. The dolphins were very cool to see. We may have also seen a whale. There was some  fun debate on the boat about that. For the money, compared to smaller and more expensive fishing charters this was worth it for beginner/novice fishermen.

        Worst charter ive ever been on  - It's marketed as deep sea fishing well I guess if you consider 20-30' deep sea then yeah maybe but we didnt catch anything bigger than 8" and it was typical common fish it took us longer to get out to spot and back than we actually fished was not happy at all

        Horrible Experience - My husband and father in law had a horrible experience on this fishing trip. They were so excited and had looked forward to this for months.
They both threw up multiple times and were having heat exhaustion. I know these things are not the captains fault but it did not sound like they were prepared at all. No medicine, paper towels or first aid on the boat. My husband slipped and cut his knee and they didn’t have bandaids or paper towels.
You have a ride of over an hour out to where you will fish. By the time you get out there you are completely burnout from the heat. There are no fans on the boat. You could easily put up a few cheap fans from Walmart to help. It also does not say anywhere online how long the boat ride is to get to the fishing spot.
Multiple other people were sick on the boat. I emailed the company and the captain (Robert) did call me. Seemed like he was going to apologize but then proceeded to argue with every concern that I voiced. Honestly if he was just going to argue they could have just emailed me back instead of wasting my time on a phone call.
He did offer to let them come out the next day for a different fishing excursion but we already had plans and they said they never wanted to do this again. They only got to finish for 10 minutes because of the heat.
All in all just wanted to share my concerns so anyone that’s goes is prepared - especially for children.
