We went on a day with little wind, no current, and other charters reporting that they weren't catching anything, but that was not the case on our boat - we had fish on within the first hour! It was the first experience on a charter boat for my wife and kids and it could not have gone better! Each of us got a chance to fight multiple fish, even if they didn't all make it in the boat :) Whether helping us reel in fish, changing baits, or changing fishing tactics, Mario was always busy. We booked our trip based on reviews we read here on Tripadvisor and couldn't be happier with our morning on the water with Mario. …

We had the pleasure of booking a private charter with Mario/No Vacansea . I reached out to Mario a month in advance to get our preferred date & time locked in. Mario called me the day before our charter to not only confirm our booking, but was also honest in telling me that we should expect the waters to be quite rough and what his experience was like that morning. He could have easily said everything was perfect on the water, and his truth went a long way with me. We were out of the dock area within 5 minutes of parking and headed out a few miles off shore. Mario set up all our poles/bait quickly and was a joy to talk to with loads of information. The warning he gave is the day before proved to be true, the water was extremely choppy and made for an interesting time on the water. Unfortunately for us, we had a member of our group lose his breakfast multiple times. We decided to head back in after a couple hours, cutting our trip short, but not before my son landed a beautiful Mahi. It was both our first time on a fishing charter and all things considered, we had an absolute blast and if I am back in the Hollywood Beach/Ft Lauderdale area, I without question will be reaching out to Mario for another round of Sport Fishing. Mario even reached out days after our trip saying he wished things worked out better for us, but was glad we at least got to reel in something. We gave our Mahi to Mario since we could not take it back to our hotel, and he was excited to take it home and cook it up later that evening. Book with Mario and No Vacansea, you will not regret it.…
