If you go, make sure to bring windbreaker / raincoat and sweater or jacket. The owner's wife Heather is terrific. ---- In response to the business owner's comments (see below), his son did not do a good job of making the trip fun, comfortable or safe. He's not a good communicator which is important when you're working with families. It also wasn't to the best idea to go so far out, which was his call. Fortunately, I was eventually able to talk him into staying a bit closer in after a long discussion. The young captain spent much of our time out there working on the boat. After his repairs to try and fix the broken speedometer, the boat wouldn't start and we were stuck out at sea for hours. The young captain's plan was to drift back towards shore until we were in cell phone range. No flares. No emergency devices to contact anyone. No joke. It would have been a very cold and uncomfortable night and it was quite an ordeal for us and our kiddos. Fortunately, I was able to contact emergency services and got us rescued. I tried to be pretty nice in my short review and focus on the positives, but I wouldn't use this charter company again and I certainly can't recommend them. Even if we hadn't had mechanical trouble, which happens, my family much preferred the way Maverick Charters handled my family's charter. The captain didn't have us towed by professionals because it would have cost him money. And the idea that we insisted on going out in a storm or that their poor decision making, lack of preparedness, and the captian's poor communication skills were our fault is just nonsense. They changed the time of our charter and we went along with it, just as we went along with all of the captain's decisions until realizing that he was incapable of handling the situation at hand. We all make mistakes and they're not bad people, but the owner lashing out at me over a bum cruise that we were still charged full price for is pretty gross. Your training, planning, maintenance and customer service skills need work. You can do better. Live and learn.

Thank you Joe, T bone and Sam for the experience of a lifetime, I can not wait to fish with you guys again.

In the lot where there's the boat launch, you have to pay. The parking is free everywhere else. There's a 2 mile walking/biking trail with some beautiful views. The trail is very heavily forested and can be a little humid because there aren't too many breezes along the way. We did the one mile loop and had a great time. The park was immaculate. We were there on a weekday and the park was pretty crowded. So, I would imagine that it can get really crowded on the weekends. Be sure to check out the big swing along the trail. It was great!

We got a nice tour passing by a mangrove and by the time we reached under the bridge where the catfish live, it was dark enough for our LED lights to illuminate the water so we could see and feed the catfish. Then it was a nice paddle back to shore. This is the perfect date night activity, whether you're beginners or have done it before. Only 2 people max can be in the same kayak as long as they are under the weight limit, so if you come in odd numbered parties, someone will have to be fine with kayaking alone.

While I understand that weather can impact operations and trips may need to be canceled for safety,…read moremy frustration comes from the complete lack of communication before and after the cancellation. Prior to the trip, I attempted multiple times to contact the company with questions through email, text, and Facebook messages. There was no way to leave a voicemail, and despite messages clearly being read, I received no response. Then, just four hours before the scheduled trip, a generic automated email was sent canceling the experience and instructing customers to request a refund. After that, communication again became nonexistent. I received no response regarding next steps for the refund despite repeated outreach. Unfortunately, I ultimately had to file a dispute with my bank to recover the payment for a service that was never rendered. Weather cancellations are understandable -- poor communication and lack of customer support are not.
