Capt. Emilio and his crew were professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. My son and I were given options regarding what kind of fishing we wanted to do and they obliged. I give Capt Emilio a very high recommendation and would definitely fish with him again.

Expensive boat ride. Not a single fish. Captain not interested in our experience. Shrugged his shoulders and said " oh well, we tried ".Would not recommend. Worst trip ever.
