He asked me what we wanted and he put us right on the meat and taught us how to get it. The CAPT and his first mate were really cool and very knowledgeable.

Prior to boarding we were asked not to bring phones on board. We all complied. He didn't ask for watches or cameras. Just phones. About a half hour after leaving the dock Captain Pete stopped to catch some bait fish. After stopping he noticed I had a watch on. He asked "What's that?" as he looked at my watch. I said "A watch". He said "It's a Garmin watch and Garmin only makes GPS stuff. I'm turning around" I told him I only use it to know when i get a text or email. Didn't think of it as a GPS location device. In fact, I've had it on so long didn't even remember it was Garmin! Im an older, non-tetchy kind of guy. Wouldn't know how to begin to figure out how to get GPS locations off of that watch. I turned it off and offered it to him to hold for the trip to hold. He refused. It was all pretty embarrassing. I was also angry. The other guys appeared to be upset. We got back to the dock my buddy and I gave the guys on the boat $670 and left. I felt like a person walking into a store and being accused of stealing. I wasn't gonna have fun. May be the most embarrassing day of my life.

My daughter and I just finished a full-day fishing trip with Capt. Rick. Capt. Rick picked us up at…read morethe boat ramp right on time. As usual, he had already been out a couple of hours earlier loading up on live bait. We started out catching around 30 Speckled Trout and kept enough for a couple of great family dinners. Then we moved on to Snook, and the action was nearly nonstop the rest of the trip. We fished a few different spots and must have caught close to 100 Snook, with fish up to 33+ inches. We had a fantastic time. I've been fishing with Capt. Gross since the mid-90s, and he never fails to put me on fish. Thank you, Capt. Rick, for another great day on the water.

Our options were to either drive to Tampa or Daytona. We decided to go with Tampa and made the trip in the morning and got here shortly, about an hour and a half! Make sure you do the Temporary Boaters Exam online first before you arrive. I was able to do it in the car on the way here. It's $10 & 25 questions. The staff was awesome! Very kind and friendly.

I reserved the princess Yacht Charter to celebrate my Birthday on…read moreMay 30th. The yacht was supposed to include the following features and amenities: * 4 staterooms, 3 bathrooms * Covered aft deck seating for 6. * Air-conditioned interior cabin with dining table seating. * Large sun pad on the bow for sunbathing. * Bathrooms equipped with Vacu-Flush toilets. * Standing shower in the bathroom. * Minibar, ice maker, 43" Smart TV. * High-speed Wi-Fi connection. * Bluetooth 1200w JL Audio stereo system. * 21.5kw generator providing full ship power for electronics and more. * Underwater Jets. * Inflatable cabana. * Galley. * Smart Cast TV. * Satellite. * Wi-Fi. * A/C and Heat. * Watermaker. * Icemaker. * Three full bathrooms with showers. * Toiletries. As listed on the website. Unfortunately, upon arrival at the yacht, there were numerous issues, including: * No electricity in any outlets on the boat as the generator was not functioning (we could not charge our phones or plug in anything. * The Tv would not even turn on for us to use the smart cast TV. * 2 out of 4 staterooms were taped shut with a handwritten note that says, "Crew Only" * No Wi-Fi at all (there was a Wi-Fi router, but it was not operational). * The Bluetooth 1200w JL Audio stereo system was NOT functioning (which meant there was NO MUSIC throughout the 70 ft yacht. We found a battery-operated Bluetooth speaker that was intentionally left there because he knew the full speaker system was not working but did not inform me). * Only 1 bathroom out of 3 promised was accessible due to the staterooms being locked. * NO ACCESS TO A SHOWER AT ALL AS IT WAS INTENTIONALLY LOCKED in the one bathroom that was unlocked * No Blow-Up cabana * There were NO WATER JETS AT ALL (We did not even see the water jets until we were leaving the boat and one of the crew members opened a locked stateroom door and we saw that the water jets were inside that locked stateroom.) I promptly contacted Shane to voice my concerns, as the situation was unfair to both me and my guest. We had anticipated enjoying all the amenities, yet not even a shower was accessible in the bathroom. Shane mentioned that the amenities were not guaranteed, but he never informed me prior to booking that these features would be unavailable for my reservation. When I confronted him about his website not indicating that these rooms and amenities were not guaranteed, he immediately went to amend the wording on the site concerning the locked rooms. He then texted me to say we couldn't use the water jets because we were consuming alcohol, despite the fact that not everyone on the boat was drinking. Additionally, we were not offered the chance to use them before we started drinking. I had to argue with him about my security deposit, which I eventually did receive back. I would never recommend booking with this man if you are a Black person. They seemed overly fearful of having us on the yacht, locking away everything, including the shower water jets and cabanas that were advertised on the site. There were no functioning electrical outlets, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, nothing. This is truly an ultimate SCAM charters.

The owner of this fleet keeps these boats in top condition, and also keeps sea bobs and a huge lily pad to have fun on your trip. He also chooses the most knowledgeable, safe, and laid back captains to host your experience. If you aren't from here I can't recommend enough to take a look at Tampa Bay from the water like this. It is always a memorable time and totally worth the money. Don't waste it on jet skis or silly boat tours. This is truly the best way to experience Tampa Bay, in affordable luxury.
