Great days fishing. Great staff. The boat was well equipped, toilet. Freezing cold beer, juice water and plenty of snacks. We seen dolphins, Wales aswell. So even the price for a spectator is worth the money. Can't wait to book up again. Absolute 10/10 and plenty of really good fish caught aswell!

wir (alle auf dem Boot) haben 5 Thunfische gefangen (ca. 1,2kg) und unzählige Mengen von kleinen Fischen (Makrelen, Reeffischen, ... ---keine Ahnung, wie die alle heißen--- ), der Gonzalo war Klasse und hat sich sehr viel Mühe gemacht. Außerdem haben wir Wahle gesehen und 20 Delfine haben unser Boot mehrere Minuten mitgegleitet und rumgetobt (war sehr schönes Erlebnis!).
