    Booked a six hour trip and had terrific weather. Joined by two other families from England and we all got on really great. You draw lots and each family has a number. Six rods are out and if you get a take number one lands the first. Then number two lands the second and number…

    Good day out
    This was a good day out. The crew were very experienced, the boat suited for fishing and sunbathing and the equipment good. The type of fishing meant that the rods were fixed to the boat and you watched the line. The crew could not do any more, we even got to see some dolphins…

    Great day out
    Went out for a great day fishing with Paulo and team. A great day out. The wind and choppy seas did not sop us from having fun catching fish and some good fighting sharks. There may be cheaper options, but this team and their hospitality is worth every cent. Keep it up
