We booked our trip almost three months in advance.  They waited until the day before to send a text message to ask for participants names for the trip.  I was already on an excursion the day before, so I did not receive the message until after their cut-off time in the message.  So, when we arrived at the dock we had to give participants names to the first mate to get fishing licenses.  This wasted one hour of our fishing trip waiting for licenses to be obtained.  While waiting, I asked the first mate to gear up for mahi mahi, tuna, etc. and he told me no that we would only fish for marlin.  I did not understand why I could not pick the fishing experience, but was at the marina the day before and saw all the marlin flags, so was hopeful for a good trip.  Once on the water, the first mate spent maybe thirty minutes on the deck (out of five hours) working to catch a marlin.  We actually had a marlin following bait that we had to call out to get him down from the captain’s perch.  He was not able to get it on the line.  I would highly recommend a different boat if you want to customize your experience or have an attentive crew.

Once they got our money for the trip ,they didn’t speak to us the rest of the trip.no bites what so ever. Captain said if you wanna catch fish you should have booked a morning trip, in my opinion they shouldn’t offer afternoon trips if they are that unsuccessful. We paid for miller light,  we got miller high life. We ordered box lunches, we were not told where they were, I had to find them myself. I sat in the chair and leaned back and the chair broke, flipping me on my back. Been fishing in the ocean for 30 plus years and this was the worst experience by far.

We did not receive a single bite the entire trip.  The deck hand told us that the afternoons are slow, so they shouldnt sell half day afternoon trips.

My clients were very disappointed.
