Not the best experience. We chartered a twin-engine center console, but during the entire trip they only used one motor. We never got up on plane, and I honestly don’t believe the second motor was working. They didn’t even use it while docking.
I called the company afterward, and they told me it was customary to use only one motor when fishing close to shore. That explanation didn’t make sense to me. We specifically paid for a twin-engine boat because we wanted the ability to cover more ground and fish multiple locations.
The fishing itself was not good, but that is not the reason for my negative review. Anyone who fishes knows that sometimes the fish simply aren’t biting. My issue is that I paid to charter a twin-engine boat and, based on my experience, I believe only one engine was operational. Had I known that beforehand, I would not have booked that boat.
I asked the company for a partial refund, which I felt was reasonable under the circumstances, but they refused.
Unfortunately, based on how this was handled, I would not recommend this company, nor would I book another trip with them.
