Not as advertised…I passed on many other trips that I would have rather done as my wife needed to have a bathroom and this one said there was a bathroom. No bathroom when got there but too late then. Guide was nice but out of the 8 or so charters I have done was probably my least favorite. Didn’t instruct the 2 women with us much at all rather much of the time casted for them and when hooked handed them the rod. Didn’t have much live bait or chum. A week before the trip I messaged the company asking about what type of fishing (inshore, offshore, etc) we would likely be doing and never heard back. I hate doing bad review on this one as the guide was nice and the biggest issues were with the company. Had it just been for those things I would not have posted a negative review as the guide was not bad ... Just not great.

Thanks for fishing with us, also acknowledging your captain was a nice guy. However we do have a bathroom on all our boats. As you can see from the picture, this is the bathroom of the boat you’re on. It’s inside the console of the Seavee. We are one of the only center console companies that have bathrooms onboard. And this is the review of the other half of the group that went with you:
Michael Paolella Half Day Trip Success with Captain Joe Went fishing on Jun 15, 2021 In less than ideal and windy conditions Captain Joe put us on a few schools of Mahi. We were able to catch a handful and had a great time. Highly recomend!

While we did catch some impressive fish and our Captain knows the ins and outs of fishing, I was appalled by the lack of safety review prior to departure or instructions on location of life vests or jackets. And let’s just say the waters were far from calm. While this was expected as we were out in the open waters, I would expected some review of basic safety procedures like THE LOCATION OF LIFE JACKETS/FLOTATION DEVICES on board the boat. No regard for comfort or safety of us, his passengers/clients.
Our Captain was less than instructive despite letting him know that we hadn’t fished before. Definitely not a people person. Maybe he’s tired. Maybe he’s burned out. But it really negatively impacted my experience. I would not recommend this Charter group.

I’m sorry you felt that you were unsafe but I just called the other two people that were on the boat and they did not feel their safety was in jeopardy at any time unfortunately the wind cannot always be calm down here and when you’re out in the south Atlantic ocean we have to go off shore in order to catch a lot and really nice fish for people yes all the lifejackets are stowed in a compartment that is easily accessible and if anything were to happen my captain would grab all the jackets for every passenger on board we usually don’t go over where they are because we would get them for you. In the future I think that it would be best if you realized your limitations and did a backcountry fishing charter that would make your experience a much better one and you would not leave a negative review for somebody who took you off shore and caught a ton of nice fish. Unfortunately any negative review I have received has been from a shared charter group which is unfortunate because I am the only one down here in Key West that does this type of charter on a center consul boat which I help two groups pay only half the cost and unfortunately I have to try to make everybody happy this is the type of experience that makes me not want to do shared Charters anymore.
