Unprofessionalism and Poor Experience

Some reviewers have complained about the short duration of the trips, with one reviewer stating that they were only out for 45 minutes when they were promised 2 hours. The captain has also been accused of complaining about how stupid people were and not offering any beverages.
Overcharging and Scamming
Some reviewers have complained about being asked to pay extra money for things they didn't agree to, such as buying drinks for the captain and his crew. One reviewer was even asked to pay an additional $500 after the trip. Another reviewer was threatened with a gun when they refused to pay more than the agreed-upon price.
Disrespect for Marine Life
One reviewer was appalled by the captain's pride in killing endangered species and filming the suffering of these animals. They believe that the charter service should have their license stripped and never be allowed to fish again.
