    Captain Justin and his first and second mate were amazing. We had a big family group of 10 people and everyone’s poles were ready and baited so quickly we had delicious fish for 3 family meals! The first mate, Danny, even gave pointers on how to best marinade and prepare the different kinds of fish. Highly recommended!!!
