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.

Trip: 8 hour Red Snapper Frenzy

Response from Richie:

We are truly sorry we have 2 ac's now to make it much more comfortable. The bathrooms on most boats are small it's not all the luxuries of your house and we do truly apologize for this. As far as the smell goes we have just recondition the entire inside in 2025. Thanks

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hi Danny, thank you for this feedback. I know that this was not the vessel you had original planned on fishing from, and we thank you and your party for being adaptable to the changes we had to make. Please give us a shout so that we can give you a discount on your next trip and make it a memorable one!
