Would not recommend this trip

We called multiple times to book, each time we were told to call back at a later date. Once booked we were told that it was a larger boat with shade, a bathroom and that we could walk around and such. When we arrived it...More

Good service but unfortunately did not catch many fish

The captain and his assistant were great. The fish just were not biting. We caught a few fish. We would try it again.More

If you want to go fishing this is an o.k. excursion.

Went on a 2 hour fishing excursion. It was a flat boat big enough to hold 6 people but had no canopy. The fishing lines got tangled the whole time and we only fished for flounder. The first mate was great, baited the hooks quickly...More

I called to make reservations. Clearly it says $35 per person. The reservation was for. The lady says because it was for 2,i had to pay for an extra person. Why is that
