Captain Gustavo is an outstanding person! Throughout our trip, he made sure to take us to interesting spots, even with the limited time we had for fishing. We also asked for some navigation tips, as we all have our boating licenses, and he was attentive and incredible, sharing valuable knowledge with us. His expertise and willingness to help made the experience even better.

Overall great family boat! We took it out pretty far this time and had no issues. Gustavo keeps it very clean and keeps the storage areas available. Communication was great and has some good logs of fishing locations. I'm sure I will be back for a third time!

What a great experience our family had with this boat and Gus, the boat was clean and new. The owner Gus was very active throughout our communications and helpful through the whole process. I can’t wait to go again on his boat!!

Gus is a straight respectable man. Explains everything about boating for any first timers for an easy trip. We chose to do without a captain. Next time we will definitely do with a captain. He helps in anyway possible. So for me I’d recommend Mr. Gus to anyone for a great time!! Thanks Mr. Gus

This is the 2nd time we rented with Gus and like the first time, we had a smooth, fun and exciting experience! This time we brought our friends and they said that Gus was very knowledgeable and even said to plan to rent this boat with their families! Gus has always been very friendly and easy to communicate with. His beautiful boat is well within the description and is highly recommended!
- JunaJuna★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Sep. 02nd
Gustavo was very patient and communicative--quick to answer and resolve any questions /issues we came across. Extremely informative and helped us exactly where to go for fishing to start reeling them in. The GPS had many locations to choose from and I highly recommend grabbing the trolling motor for a small additional fee. It really helps you stay on the fish when you find them with the spot lock feature. All in all, great experience and I would definitely book with Gustavo again in the future.

I had the pleasure of having Captain Gustavo as the captain for my recent boat rental, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Gustavo excelled in his role, quickly understanding the requirements of our survey process and adapting seamlessly. His expertise and professionalism made my job significantly easier and more enjoyable. I highly recommend Gustavo for anyone looking for a skilled and accommodating captain. His exceptional service truly stands out!

The boat was perfect! Ran like a champ! We needed a sturdy boat to go off shore to watch my kids sail a regatta. Gus let us charter for several days. He was very responsive and we had no issues with the boat. Would recommend him anytime!
