    Pontchartrain Park

    We were in search of a yacht to take on us Lake Pontchartrain for an ash scattering. While this…read moreisn't a normal occasion, we all really enjoyed sailing with Cap'n Vegas. He provided a Bluetooth speaker, and a chest with ice. He timed the sunset perfectly for us to have the ceremony. It was very relaxing, smooth ride and none of us got sea sick. I highly recommend for a different way to celebrate in New Orleans. The only downside is the Bathroom is small and tight. If you have mobility issues or are plus sized, this may be an issue for you.

    Had a pretty perfect day out on the water on this "slow" boat. Went for a birthday party and the…read moreboat itself is unique and it's so fun getting to share this space that is actually their home down below so you know they take care if it! BYOB the day I went so we knew we loved the drinks and food we brought, but he had the cooler and ice all set up. Much cheaper for my crew rather than overpriced drinks!) There is a great covered area to the boat if you don't want to sit in the sun. Whenever the water gets choppy, Vegas will drive the boat further out. Since they only do one cruise a day, you don't feel rushed and can enjoy exactly the day you want. And his dogs are so cute and quiet and well behaved! New Orleans is a fantastic city, but sometimes it's nice to be able to take a step away with some friends and enjoy the water. *Special Note: Apple Maps does not know where this address is, but Google maps does

    I don't know what a charter with Capt. James is like as we were promised a Capt. James charter but…read moreended up with the 1st mate Kyle as Capt. and a person that was very pleasant but almost completely ignorant of the duties a 1st mate has to be proficient in. When I booked the trip in January for June 18th we were told by Leslie that Capt. James would not be available on that day so we booked on the 17th when he would be available. Leslie was very pleasant and seemed eager to please. I explained to Leslie that we had been on a marlin charter in Mexico and even though we caught a 10 foot Blue Marlin we hated it as it was tug and reel, tug and reel. At least we got to see the marlin jump several times which was exciting. I explained to Leslie that we would have had more fun using spinning gear to catch the bait...2-5 lb Skipjacks and that we would like to fish for whatever was biting regardless of size3 and would prefer catching 10-20 lb tuna over bigger tuna with heavy gear. When I arrived in New Orleans I received a call that Capt. James would not be available. As our charter was the next day I felt I had no choice other than to agree to having Kyle be the Capt. HUGE MISTAKE!!! Not only was Kyle aggressive and cursed at my son for not pulling in the bait fast enough but when I was reeling in the only tuna we caught, he cursed at me when I didn't do exactly as he said. We saw many schools of smaller fish (probably bonito) hitting the surface at different times but when I pointed that out Kyle replied with "We won't look at them unless they're the size of Volkswagons." Catching a 40-50 lb tuna with a pool cue fishing rod w/roller guides with the pole handle in a tuna tube is like reeling in a 50 lb manhole cover from the bottom...not what we asked for. Kyle may be a good 1st mate but he is not a good captain...he was cocky, didn't listen to the clients and when we got done he charged us for 284 gallons of gas. He said the boat got 1 mile/gallon so at 40/mph...we were out at sea for 11 hours so do the math. To top it off, when my son got out of the boat his cell phone fell out of his pocket and into 9 feet of water where alligators live. Kyle laughed and said "I knew that was going to happen." I asked him that if he knew it was going to happen why didn't he say something before it happened? Kyle said nothing and turned away. All and all, I know going fishing is not a guarantee of catching fish but to also have a miserable experience for the bargain basement price of $2,000 for the charter, $1,754 for fuel and $300 for an inexperienced 1st mate. I called and asked Leslie about the gas usage and she seemed indignant and said my son (who paid for the trip) was rude to her. I told her I was sorry if he was rude but explained the Kyle used abusive language towards my sons and I also and neither was the right thing to do. Bottom line...Only go out with Capt James

    I have been on a lot of charters around the world and Captain James is definitely a top 3 for me…read more His passion for catching fish shows and his attitude is great. If you have never been fishing in Venice before, I highly recommend you check them out. It is quite the experience down there.
