Everyone that went really enjoyed themselves and said they would book another boat ride with the same captain and boat. Before the day we sailed out I asked a million and one questions and they were all answered in a timely manner. Instructions on how to prepare for the charter were clear. Directions to where the dock is located were clear as well. They recommend buying Dramamine for motion sickness. You should get it even if you don't think you'll get sick. My group and I did a morning charter and were back by the afternoon. I thought that was perfect since it wasn't too hot while we were out in the ocean. Can't wait to book another boat ride. Thanks, Captain Stephen!

He caught a ton of fish, mostly bass and most too small to keep, but he had a blast! He loves the fight! We had a few both trips to take home. We are newbies, but everyone on the crew was super nice and helpful to us. Bobby was exceptional. He helped my son so much and really looked out for him when he got a little sea sick. Another crew member gave him a little lure and talked to him about it, such a sweet guy! We've learned a lot from these trips and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

It seemed to me to be risky for them, as the majority of the time the boat was recommending that we use metal jigs with treble hooks to catch bonito and bullet tuna. MANY of the guests were casting these jigs blindly without looking behind them to ensure that nobody was in harms way!! Fortunately, nobody was hurt on this trip but potentially things could have been different. Perhaps limiting the casting of jigs to the bow of the boat exclusively might have been a consideration that could have reduced the risk to the small children(and adult passengers as well). Otherwise... the trip was enjoyable. The boat was kept clean. The crew were attentive to the needs of the passengers(although 2 crew members for 50+ people was not ideal) and the whole experience was positive.
