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.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
