Not for begginers
Captain Mike is always amazing, I salute you. But this other captain wana be is annoying. Ive been riding this charter alot of times. But the other guy, sorry i couldnt really describe him and he didnt even introduce himself but as far as i know he aint from here. He was very rude to other passengers and kinda racist to them. He was saying some like “some of you have brought your own gear but dont have an idea on what theyre doing.” “Throw that away its rubbish.” And another thing he had his mate on board too. Which was given the best spot at the back. And bruh they had the advantage. He was like bragging with all his catch and doesn’t even smile or respond when you greet him.

Evening Fishing
I'm disappointed that there was too much cruising and very little time for fishing. I think fishing should be focused close to the harbour for short fishing trips

Amazing fishing experience
Our group of friends has an awesome time fishing with Skipper Mike and The Red Boats. We took home 12 fish after 3 hours of fishing and it was our first time fishing. We recommend the pilchard bait from Sailors Supplies near Pier Z where the boat departs.
