Four-Hour Sportfishing Charter in Hollywood

Crew members were great. Put us on fish both days we booked. We were hoping for a better variety of sport fish, but we understand its fishing not catching. As left handed customers, the spinning reels were not comfortable and were told the handle cannot be switched over during first day. I understand if it may jeopardize the equipment. Overall crew worked hard getting us fish to take home

We were not given a full 4 hour fishing experience. We left the dock at 0800 and were back at the dock at 1130. This is the 1st time I can honestly say that fishing with you guys was not a good experience. The fish were not cooperating and that can be understood; but to give up and head back to the dock early is lame.

never leave reviews, but I feel the need to leave one today. I'm hoping my review can help another family who might be questioning whether they should book their fishing trip with this company. If you're a mom or dad and considering this trip, I urge you to read my entire post. Today, my husband and almost 7 year old went out for my son's 7th birthday (in 5 days). My son was over the moon and this fishing trip was his birthday request. We are visiting the Hollywood area from Wyoming. I called last night to book and I asked the gentleman whom I booked with if they expected rough seas. His response was no and he assured me that the morning would be good fishing. So my husband and son got ready and went out for the 8am-12pm trip. Turns out, it was anything but "good". In fact, it wasn't pleasant at all. The water was so choppy and our son was sea sick during the entire 4 hours, no joke.. Now I know this company will say they can't control the water or my son's tendency for sea sickness, so I'll focus my complaint where it truly lies. The company brags about being "kid friendly" and they even have an entire section of their website dedicated to this.... one would think they would attempt to help my husband out with my kiddo (my husband was also extremely sea sick due to choppy water) especially since we paid $400 and there were just 2 other fisherman aboard. My husband said the other fisherman were great and even offered to assist with my kiddo to help give my husband a chance to fish (of course he declined as that is not their responsibility). The fact is, the mate and captain only peeked on my family a couple of times. Never once attempted to offer a solution. I think it's important to note that we have a boat and we understand that every day doesn't bring fish. It's the lack of empathy that did it for me. When I called to talk to them about it, the response I got was "well the mate and captain have alot to do so at least they were able to peek in and ask how your son was doing". Again, we paid $400 and there were only 2 other fisherman aboard. The other fisherman were concerned about my kiddo and did more to make his experience pleasant than the paid staff. Lso, we picked this establishment because of their bragging about how good they are with kids (seriously laughable, at least not this occasion). Anyway, worst part of the experience is that after all of that, they were the only boat who didn't catch a single fish today. It's funny now to note that when my husband was paying for this crap day, he asked Captain Steve how the fishing has been, captain Steve said let me process your card real quick, and once he did so, he told my husband "it's been bad, but I had to get your payment first". Like is this real life? Captain Steve called us after I complained to assure us that this comment was merely a joke (yet they caught zero fish 🙄). So if you're on the fence, especially if a child is involved, save your money. This is NOT a kid friendly establishment, and if they are, it must only be if the kid doesn't experience any type of sea sickness (although I really don't know why they would even take a child out in water like today). To the lady Pamela staff, I see that you don't accept criticism well, per your every response to negative feedback. We got zero apologies today and that says alot about you as individuals and as a company. To not have any helpful words for a 6 year old child on a birthday trip is beyond me. Hope none of you are parents.
