Awesome day from the moment we stepped on board the very impressive state of the art, clean and fast boat ?. Richard took us to plenty of secret spots where we pulled in fish all day ?. Got a good feed of fresh food, plenty of soft drinks on board and frozen water as well. Richard is a great host with plenty of knowledge and as a result we took home plenty of fish!! Can't wait to go again ?Day out sailfish and red bottom fishing
Best captain I’ve ever been with. Just plain fantastic service. Got sail and loads of fish. Very safety conscious. And eco concious.
