My grandsons really wanted to catch a shark, which they both did. We paid extra for the back of the boat. It seemed to me that while most were fishing with dead bait some actually were using live bait, which resulted in great results. The hamburgers were great but don't be fooled by all you can drink. If you want... More

Thank you for your review. We do provided unlimited tap water (just like any restaurant would do), but bottled water is $1.00 each (just like anywhere you go). As we mention on our website, we sell bottled water and snacks but you are more than welcome to bring your own as well. The cabin temperature can fluctuate if a lot... More

My family and I thought the prospect of catching larger than life fish would be an exciting experience, and I am sure it is but we didn't experience that on this trip. We would have liked to have gone on a half day trip but they cancelled it and just held the full day so we opted for that. The... More

Thank you for your review, we just thought we would address some things. The half day did not go out fishing this day so we gave all customers signed up the option to be upgraded "free of charge" to the full day fishing trip, or we could reschedule them for another day. It looks like this person opted for the... More

We took our whole family and had an excellent time. The deckhands helped out a lot with our 8 year old twins. Everyone on the boat seemed to catch a variety of fish. We would definetly recommend this charter.

I have been searching for the best place to take my son for his first deep sea fishing trip (it will be mine too) for his birthday in May. You are now my choice! I love seeing the great comments so that is reason 1a. 1b is because all businesses have some bad reviews for varied reasons but, the fact... More

Breakfast was good as was lunch and free food was not a perk that I had anticipated, Fishing was slow but that is why it is called fishing instead of catching. My issue was with the deck hands: even though the boat was not crowded and the fishing was slow they were gruff and spoke poorly of anglers that were... More

We are sorry to hear the fishing was slow the day you went with us but we appreciate your understanding that we don't have control over that sometimes. We do hope you come back and try us out again. As for the deckhands, I have personally addressed the matter. Thank you for letting us know. Have a great day and... More

They claim that they dont overfill the boats, well they do! The poles are way to close together. We attempted several times to cast our line only to get it caught in someone elses line. I am an experienced fisher and found it quite frustrating that the people too close next to me kept screwing it up. My son happened... More

We are sorry you felt the way you do about other people being on board with you. During holidays or spring break, a lot of people want to enjoy the beach and the ocean and we also believe Groupon is flooding the market with fishing trips. Unfortunately, the daily deal offers only seem to care about your money and now... More

The boat is old, shabby, and cramped. No room to fish really. Constant tangles and problems. Lunch was not that great at all. Beer was in small styrofoam cups and mostly foam. The lunch servers were surly. Bathrooms are small, hot, and smelly. Not a good day.

We are sorry you feel the way you do. We never put more people on our boats that what the USCG allows. We work very hard to keep our customers happy and to assist them through the day with their fish, bait or tangles they may acquire. We conduct a pre-boarding speech before the boat leaves the dock to show... More

After driving over 2300 kilometers (1400 miles) I felt I deserved a relaxing day of fishing. The crew aboard could not have made the trip a more enjoyable one. The boat was full & there were many impatient angles which created a few tangles which were dealt with swiftly allowing everyone to get back to fishing. The crew worked hard... More
