Captain Rick is all about safety and that is number one when you are out on the water. This was a pre wedding family outing and it was just what we were looking for. Casual, relaxed. We didnt get to swim off the boat because conditions did not allow for it. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time. We would book again. Would love to have Capt Rick and Holly for a fishing trip.
i ran late and Capt Rick was patient and accommodating. His assist, Haley was fun and attentive. My friends and I had a really great time.
Captain Rick and Amber were great. They listened intently and understood my families needs. Couldnt ask for nicer people.
it wasnt what we expected, we had planned to do snorkling and swimming like we had discussed in prior days leading up with the captain, but his ladder to get in, broke the previous day, so it became a slow cruise up the river. Saw quite a few dolphins. Consider bring your own chairs, otherwise its coolers to set on or the front of boat. friendly people, recommend if you want a relaxed cruise up the river.
I scheduled Capt. Rick and Mate Amber for a Team Building trip for the employees of local handyman business. Trying to find a boat that accommodated 10 people was a challenge, but Capt. Rick accommodated the gang and off we went. During the boat ride / sightseeing trip, a few of my guys asked if there was a way that they could fish a little bit. Without hesitation Capt Rick said ‘I know a spot’ and West bound we went. A few miles later with a couple of line out, it was ‘fish on!’ with a beautiful king. Ten minutes later, there was a second. All in all we hooked up 5 times and put two keepers in the cooler, impressive for an adlib trolling session in the middle of a touring trip. We had a fantastic time, a ton of laughs with everyone on board and our compliments to Ambers hospitality and music selection. Thanks Capt Rick for the flexibility and keeping the customer first ! We will be making another reservation!
