We did not end up fishing with David. He put us with another guide on another boat. He did reach out to me a couple days before to let me know that the boat was not available but he had another boat that was just as good. He never mentioned it would be with a different guide. And the other boat was not anywhere near comparable. All that said the guide was very nice. Just...

Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey Benton, we're sorry to hear the trip didn’t go as expected. It sounds like there was some miscommunication about the boat's status, we've gotten with David to address this. While we’re glad your guide was friendly, the experience falling well short of your expectations is something we take extremely seriously. We’ve issued a refund on your trip as well as a discount on a future trip. We'd love the opportunity to make it up...

We had a great trip with David. He arrived at the dock on time ready to go. He's got a nice, open, boat with a center console so it was easy to move around. We moved around the inter coastal area between Anna Maria and Long Boat fishing for snook, red fish, and trout. Anytime we weren't getting bites we'd move. David worked very hard to keep all of us...

We had a great trip with David. He arrived at the dock on time ready to go. He's got a nice, open, boat with a center console so it was easy to move around. We moved around the inter coastal area between Anna Maria and Long Boat fishing for snook, red fish, and trout. Anytime we weren't getting bites we'd move. David worked very hard to keep all of us in fresh bait, and good locations. He knew a ton about the local fish, currents, depths, and regulations. We also got to see several manatees which was such a lovely bonus! When my son hooked a big red fish David gave him great guidance to help him bring it in. He was easy to talk to and we are already recommending him to our friends. We will definitely book again next time we're in the area.
