Trip: 1/2 Day Fishing Adventure
★★★★★
My family of 6 (3 teens,3 adults) booked a 6 hour deep sea fishing trip with Todd and Fernando. They were very knowledgeable and so helpful considering we had zero experience with deep sea fishing and half of us were a little sea sick. My husband and I had an amazing time. Todd knew just where you take us to get the fish and if it was a miss he'd move us along to the next spot . Fernando was so hard working and helpful with myself and the kids. I never once had to bait a hook or remove a fish. He was patient with my family and thoroughly explained how to manovour the reel and exactly what to do. There was a bathroom and air conditioned room if needed. I'd definitely book again.
