Everything Else to Know

I provide all bait and tackle for the days trip. I do keep water on board. All other snacks and beverages are allowed on the boat if you decide to bring some along.
You'll need to buy a fishing license before getting out there. Find out more about licenses here.
We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).
Cancel for free up to 14 days before the trip and receive credit back to your account. Cancelling within 14 of the trip will forfeit your deposit to the guide. Day-of cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full balance of the trip to their card.
In the event of inclement weather you'll be covered by out 100% Weather Guarantee and will not lose your deposit.

I booked this trip for my husband and my son and I have to say we are very disappointed after spending $700 and neither caught a fish. We came, we saw, and we would not do it again!

I'm sorry you feel that way. Fishing is not just about catching. I try to teach and get all of my clients to enjoy the whole experience. That being said, they had opportunities the day of the trip and just were not able to capitalize on it and get the fish to the boat. I can't catch them all for you.

I can't catch them all for you. I worked hard for your husband and son and they hooked into a few
that we didn't land. I don't feel I deserve 1 star due to their inexperience. Again...im sorry you feel you didn't get what you paid for.

Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey there, we are very sorry to hear that this experience did not live up to your family's expectations. Captain Cory did his very best to help them land a some fish and provide instruction along the way. That being said, it's extremely frustrating to come up short. Please give our team a call; we would love to match your husband and son with another guide so they can try again!
