Boating with Bart

VERIFIED

Our family had a great time on this fishing and snorkeling trip with Karma Charter. Although we started a bit later than planned due to some prep work by the crew, they made up for it by giving us extra time at the snorkeling spot, which we appreciated. Drinks (water and soft drinks) were provided, and the crew took care of all the fishing gear-our only job was to hold on tight to the rods 😀The water was a bit choppy during the fishing portion, but motion sickness tablets helped us manage just fine. We caught a few fish-enough to enjoy a tasty "cook your catch" lunch at Lucy’s afterward. Snorkeling at Boca Catalina was also a highlight, with clear water and plenty to see. Overall, the trip was a good value, and I’d definitely recommend Karma Charter for a fun day out on the water.

Best part of my trip

VERIFIED

The boat was fantastic and provided everything I needed, which was the highlight of my trip. The nicest part for me was fishing, you do not need to pack anything because the crew has everything. It was my first time fishing, and I caught several fish. The staff was fantastic, and there was a family feel to it. As long as I have that crew on board, I will continue to do it.
