This was our first time deep sea fishing. It was an excellent experience. Richie and Zach did a great job and are very knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip

Captain and Mate were very good. boat was very old and showed it. AC broke down an hour into trip was not good. no venting in cabin at all. Latrine exceptionally small for any good size man to fit in. Front cabin area just nasty no comfort at all. always smelled diesel.
