8 hours 1 fish which can happen. But when we caught the tuna we were told that it wasn’t good eating. Total lier about it and was going to sell it to the local sushi market. He brought his 7 year on board who was interesting. Made us buy bait at the gas fill up. I would not recommend. The tuna has been amazing eating. Made sure his kid took a photo with the fish.

Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey Adam, we apologize that your trip didn't live up to expectations and appreciate your candid review. After speaking with Capt. Mark, the fish in question was a Skipjack Tuna which is generally considered inedible and kept for bait. Bait is included on this trip, but the special tuna bait you requested necessitated a stop which Capt. Mark was happy to do. We apologize for the confusion and would love to make it up to...

Awesome and once in a lifetime. Mark and his crew were SO much fun and we got more than we bargained for. Mark put us on the fish when nobody near us were catching anything. Hopefully if we vacation in Fort Lauderdale again, he’s still doing charters!

Horrible experience with an unprofessional and mean spirited captain. Was 45 mins late, insulted my family members and brought his 8 year old poorly behaved son on the trip. Overall an unenjoyable afternoon.

Captain Mark suited our group greatly. He and Tyler worked extremely hard to try and catch some fish and succeeded. We caught some fish and had a great time. Would use them again.
