Captain Eddy is exceptional! He was incredibly accommodating, exceptionally amiable, and excellent with children. He maximized our 3-hour excursion. Our entire group caught numerous fish, and he brought us near several dolphin pods during our voyage. My 7-year-old niece even caught a shark and was absolutely thrilled! Eddy is extremely knowledgeable, sharing entertaining facts throughout the journey. We felt completely at ease the entire time and were in expert hands. We will definitely book another trip with Captain Eddy the next time we're in the region! 5+ stars!
