Traveller reviews
This was a relaxed family morning rather than a serious deep-sea fishing trip, and that suited us perfectly. The crew helped my son with the rod without making him feel silly, and he was proud even with a small catch. We also had time to swim, which broke up the fishing nicely. Simple, kind, and easy.
My dad enjoyed this more than the busy tours. Calm sea, cold drinks, and a kind crew.
We had a slow start with the fish, but the guide kept the kids entertained.
We didnt catch anything huge, but the morning was still very enjoyable. The boat was basic, the crew were friendly, and they moved spots when the fish went quiet. I would recommend it more for families and casual fishing than for people expecting a specialist fishing charter. Lunch was simple but fine.
Good choice if you want time on the water without loud music or crowds.
I liked the relaxed pace. Nobody rushed us and the crew cleaned everything quickly.
