We do guarantee that our equipment is in proper maintained condition and that we will do everything in our power to give you and your party a wonderful fishing experience. The sport is called “Fishing” not “Catching”. Listening and following suggestions and directions from the Captain will increase the likelihood of catching fish especially after fish have been hooked. It is possible that your charter date might not produce ‘keeper’ fish.
