Before we set off, Jemel gave us a thorough rundown of the boat’s equipment and what to expect during our trip. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and helpful! We didn’t bring any rods or bait, but Jemel had everything we needed. He even taught us how to properly bait the hook. He took us to an amazing spot where we even got to see dolphins! We spent about 4 hours fishing, and it was an unforgettable experience.
