The morning started out slow (no fish for a second day!? c'mon!) but we got into the reds about an hour before we were to head back in. Not only was Capt Dave determined to put us on fish but he kept us out an hour and a half after our paid time frame so we could limit out! We had SO MUCH FUN and I can't wait to get back out with him. I have tried to book since but I was poor at planning and wasn't able to book as he was already full. However, Capt Dave put me in touch with a friend of his Capt Blaze and the same deal! Got us onto the fish and we had a blast! Definitely give Capt Dave a call and if he's booked, trust his recommendation of another guide!

Perfect boat for…read morethe bay and Captain Gus was more than accommodating with his helpful hints on catching reds and trout!

Had a great time and i highly recommend booking with Capt Gus. We will be back in 2019 fo sho'!

Captain Noe Lopez has been giving dolphin watch tours for the past 30 years and we just keep coming…read moreback! I've literally only taken dolphin tours from him since I was very young. He's obviously a professional captain and knows the area like the back of his hand. He adds humor to the tour and he always finds the dolphins. I've never left this tour without seeing dolphins. Note , you can buy tickets online ahead of time. You have to buy them at least one hour before departure time. Also, there is an outdoor waiting area with shade. You can't wait in the A/C gift shop anymore :/ -R

But he didn't over-explain it either. It was just the right combination of educator and personality. We maxed out on trout and got a skip jack as well. We then made the decision to go after some other red fish. We weren't able to catch any, but did reel in a bunch of catfish, which at least kept us busy. We all had a great time and the 13-yr old gave it a 9.5 out of 10!

Our group spent two days fishing with Capt. Paco Hinjosa. Capt. Paco was our third guide on SPI. We…read morethoroughly enjoyed our two days and will be booking with Capt. Paco next year. Day one was a tough as the island had four straight days of significant wind and the Bay was dirty. We fought through it and brought in a decent haul of trout, including a couple of Gafftoptsail catfish. Day two was significantly calmer, and we maxed out on trout in the first hour. We then were able to haul in a few reds, flounder, a blacktip shark, and a big skipjack. Capt. Paco is the right mix of great fishermen/capt and personality. He's patient with amateurs and a good teacher. Capt. Paco brings his own bait. We've had previous guides that waste a significant amount of fishing time finding the shrimp boats to purchase Croaker (and made us pay for it). Capt. Paco filets the fish himself without charging $1 per filet. (I'd recommend a tip for this as some other Captains have outsourced this job).

Our experience with Breakaway Cruises was terrible and completely unprofessional…read more We arrived at 2:00 PM to schedule and pay for a 4:00 PM jet ski reservation for three jet skis for our group of six. We spent about 20 minutes completing paperwork and talking with Coral, who told us to be back by 3:45 PM. We left to change and returned at 3:35 PM, ready for our ride. Instead, Coral told us the 3:00 PM group had "just arrived late" and we'd now have to wait until 5:00 PM. That's completely unacceptable. Even if her story was true and they really were the 3:00 PM group, they were late. Breakaway Cruises should have canceled or delayed them--not us, who showed up on time and followed every instruction. On top of that, I overheard Coral speaking with the other group, and it didn't sound like they were late at all. It felt more like Breakaway Cruises was overbooking to make extra money and shifting people around to cover it up. I even heard Coral asking another group whether they had evening plans--more evidence of double-booking (her knowing they would make them wait past their scheduled time). We asked Coral to let us go as scheduled or cancel the other party. She claimed to agree with us but did nothing. She refused to let us speak with a manager. Instead, she offered us "inventory" jet skis that had been sitting in storage. Why should we get older, potentially less safe equipment when we did everything right? The other group should have been inconvenienced, not us (that is if they were really "late"). We ultimately left without riding because we didn't feel safe using equipment that might not have been recently serviced. Breakaway Cruises clearly doesn't care about customers' time, safety, or money. They're unethical, careless, and willing to lie or overbook to boost profits. I would absolutely not recommend them.

Customer service here was honestly terrible. The lady working the front kept jumping between…read morecustomers without actually finishing with anyone. It was super disorganized and frustrating. She gave me a form to fill out but it had someone else's full information on it, including their ID. That's a huge privacy issue. I asked when I first got there what the requirements were for riding a jet ski and she told me there were no hidden fees. After waiting around 40 minutes and filling out everything, she suddenly tells us we need a boating permit that costs another 10 to 15 dollars. That should have been mentioned from the start. Overall a really unprofessional experience. I wouldn't come back or recommend this place to anyone.
