The Pastime is a large 100 foot long fully air-conditioned fishing vessel with all the latest electronics.If you have never been deep sea fishing before or are an experienced angler you've come to the right place.A day of deep sea fishing on the Pastime Princess is great fun for everyone. We cater to the first timer as well as the seasoned veteran. Everyone was a first timer once and we understand that you may not know which end of the fishing rod to hold ( well I guess everyone knows that but you get my point). Hey, fishing isn't brain surgery, if it was you would need a brain surgeon. « less

We were moved from seat to seat, and it seemed it was to accommodate the boat crew’s friends. Since the ship was over crowded we were forced to ride the 2 or more hour ride on the top of the boat, which made my boyfriend and me uncontrollably seasick. After we finally arrived we were allowed to come back down... More

This was my 2nd deep sea fishin' trip, my first was on the Canaveral Star II. I didn't get bored on this trip, between my boyfriend and I, we caught at least 30 fish! Unfortunatly this is never guaranteed and they were mostly sea bass. But I was happy to stay so busy since the last boat had no where... More

I have to say that we did have a good time on the Pastime Princess. The crew was very nice and helpful. We chose not to get in on the jackpot. It was a beautiful day with fairly calm sea, although we did take our Dramamine beforehand. It was about a 2-hour ride out. We caught many fish, but they... More

We booked the dinner cruise and were told dinner was served at 6. We arrived at about 5:40 to be seated, but there were no seats available anywhere. They were setting up folding tables in an alleyway where the wind was whipping through at near tornado speeds and the temperature was in the low 60's . Perfect for outside dining... More

So your review is based on NOT taking the cruise. NOT eating any food. GETTING A FULL REFUND with no hassle and then blaming us for the weather. Do I have this correct? You were also verbally abusive to my General Manager who is the sweetest person i know. More

Just went out on the Pastime Princess last weekend. The crew has good and the captain routinely positioned us in good spots. The greatest frustration is that we caught 28 fish between the two of us but we were only able to keep a few. The government has restricted the keeping of Sea Bass and Red Snapper. The some of...

If you want a great deep sea fishing trip, then go on the Pastime Princess Party Boat. A full galley and mates that help you with your fish. Always catching something in the Atlantic. Hopefully one day, we'll be able to keep the red snappers again. More

Overall just in terms of fishing, the pastime princess experience was great. They captain did the best he could to put everyone on good fishing spots that were consistent. The only part of this trip that was a dissappointment was the crew. Considering the reminders that they would like a tip at the end of the trip they were often... More

This is a great trip for families although it can be a bit crowded so expect to be patient with tangled lines. The crew was great and helpful. They were constantly busy helping everyone with a great attitude the entire trip. The food was great on the boat (a good old fashioned grill hamburger). We came away with enough fish... More

The fishing trip was good. The bad experience is when you come in and the crew fillets your fish. There is no organization. You may get there in the first few and everybody else comes later and gets ahead of you. The main guy doing the filleting is a big a__ hole about you trying to get your place back... More
