We have to leave a review for Captain Mario and we didn’t even go out on a boat with him but if we would looking for a charter he would be he we choose without question. A couple weeks ago we stayed at The Plantation for the first time and realized we were in quite the pickle launching and trailering our boat because my husband does it all 😳 and it was a crowded morning! Mario offered to help with the trailer and truck. Then the next day we saw him again in the bait shop and he told us where to get live shrimp (bait shop was out) and some spots he had luck at lately. I can’t imagine going out on a charter with anyone else if he was so kind and helpful to those just boating for the weekend! True character goes far and he made quite the impression on our family that day! Nice to see folks being kind and helpful just to be kind and helpful!
