He was patient and answered all of my questions—helping to set realistic expectations for our trip. The boat was awesome and very comfortable. Half of our party got sea sick but Captain Joe was very helpful with tips on how to feel better. We caught lots of fish and the kids had a blast reeling all the snapper in! We don’t think there could have been a better trip to book! Just take motion sickness medicine the night before and don’t take a chance on having your trip ruined or cut short!!
