Incredible! Stunning! So fun! The crew is very experienced. They were able to accommodate our ship leaving early. Snorkeling with the sea turtles was our favorite part. Book with Captain J, you will not regret it!

Trip: Paradise Island Fishing

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hey Timothy, this is Trey with Captain Experiences. I’m sorry to hear the trip didn’t live up to expectations, and I appreciate you sharing your feedback.

Since the big-game bite was slow, Captain Javano offered to switch to bottom fishing, which requires running 5 rods to avoid tangles, so that’s why one was removed. It sounds like there may have been some miscommunication, but I’m glad to hear your group was still able to land some nice snapper. The crew also noted they offered to clean your fish but were asked to pack them on ice; fish cleaning is included on all trips. And just to clarify, there is a restroom on board where extra life vests are stored.

I’ve reached out to you directly as well, and I’m happy to work with you to make things right.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

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. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
