The purpose of booking with Josh was to have a private charter and equipment provided for deep sea fishing (mahi & tuna), freediving for lobsters, & snorkeling @ coral reefs all in 8hrs. He did NOT mention he was in MN or did he pass those detailed plans onto his team. When we met, we were told the boat was not capable of going deep sea fishing, ONLY REEF FISHING. We were taken to the gulf/mangrove to snorkel, no coral reef. This guy is very misleading with fake promises!!! Mahi out of SEASON!

Josh was great! Excellent communication and then boat was in great shape…clean and ready to go before we arrived! Only issue was his helper Lisa that met us at the dock (to issue us the boat) wasn’t super familiar with the boat or helping us get to the various reefs and sandbars. We called Josh and he was able to help though and we had a great day on the water!
