Boat is fairly small for the amount of swells we had(6-10ft). The captain did navigate through the waves fairly safely. We have to do a beach start which we didn’t know when we booked. A wave went over The front of the boat and soaked us within the first 2 minutes. We asked for life jackets which were hidden in the front compartment with a cooler locking the door. It took the deckhand 5 minutes to get them. when we got a 5 pound tuna I could even reel it in because the real was broken. Besides that tho they really wanted to catch us a fish we stayed out later than the 4 hours got lots of bites, reeled in a shark for 30 minutes. You kinda get what you pay for this was one of the cheaper boat trips so more our fault for not spending the extra money to get a heavier duty boat.
