Augustine was more than fantastic! He was extreamly helpful, relaxed and made sure everyone was having a good time. He didn't give up until we found some fish. We were so happy with him we decided to book again! Working with Captain Experiences was easy and quick :)

We had the most amazing trip of a lifetime! Captain Augustine was great! He put us right on the fish. Not only did we catch some big fish we saw dolphins and had a great time. He was especially patient and kind with my kids and helped them land some big snapper. This was definitely the trip of a lifetime thanks to a great Captain!!!

We had a nice morning fishing the bay with Augustin! Not many fish wanted to be caught, but our guide tried very hard to get us on 'em! Bonus was a side trip to see Space X from the water and some dolphin play! Highly recommend.

The Captain was wonderful. He helped these two old ladies catch lots of fish. He did the majority of our casting too. Will call on him again. Thank you, Cappy!
