My brother in law and my self were going to Marathon for a fantastic vacation in an air b and b for the last week of March and both loving fishing we thought it would be an excellent time to charter a boat and have a local give us a DEEP sea fishing experience as that is something we both havent had. Marathon is known for its Marlin, Tuna, Grouper and Mahi mahi to name a few and we were excited to battle these monsters. We by passed the group charter because they really cant do any deep sea fishing and mainly stay static. We ended up choosing to charter a 3/4 day trip for $1050. The first day was canceled due to high wind ...understandable. Second day we were up bright and early only to be told he was going to be late. We were on the boat by 8:15 and the first thing JJ says is "Ok whos got the money?" So we paid the man and then it got interesting with the rules of the boat. Basically none but if we had any questions just ask and oh yah if you need to pee just pee off the front of the boat and if your shy ..."here just pee in this cup and throw it overboard". I kid you not this is what this man said. And #2 we dont even entertain that thought even though there is a head on board the boat. It was starting to feel like we had been friends for a long time and he just borrowed the boat so we needed to be extra carefull with it especially when he busted out the soft scrub every 5 minutes to clean the boat. We then end up at the bait store and he purchased some frozen Ballyhoo I guess thats all you need. From there it was a five minute jaunt to the reef so I thought we could catch bait fish. We were using #2 not 2.0 but #2 hooks without any weights and just letting the tiny piece of Ballyhoo he put on the hook sink it. He cut up 2 Ballyhoo to use and we caught tiny fish after tiny fish( not keeping any of them)and I finally busted out my own rod and set up with a simple leader a 1/2 oz weight and a larger hook and what do you know we caught the only keeper on that rig. THis went on till around 10 when the group charter boat showed up and fished not far from us. That was a clear sign that I ignored but JJ moved the boat after that to another spot just 2 minutes away. No 7 mile bridge no marathon hump and still no deep sea fishing. Now to be clear JJ offers 2 different types of fishing experiences to choose from one being reef fishing and the other being deep sea fishing and we were clear on wanting the deep sea experience. At this point we were pressing for the deep sea fishing and he gets frustrated and says we dont have enough time but goes below to rifle through his gear and 1/2 hour later he pulls out these 2 ratty old lures which sucked because you cant even use all four lines if you only have 2 lures. That wasnt stopping us so I rigged up a split beak Ballyhoo rig I learned from you tube and used it as our third line. 20 minutes and wham zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrzrrzzzzzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzz the Ballyhoo rig got hit hard. The line was spooling out so JJ stopped the boat to grab the line...I kept asking what he needed like should I get the other lines out of the way and such but he didnt say anything just started to reel it in and it kept taking the line. I was super excited and all the baloney that happened earlier was the furthest from my mind as this was a big fish. ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzSnap.... dam it was pure adrenaline and then complete silence. We set the lines back up just the 2 this time so we could maximize our time while I set up another Ballyhoo rig. I grab the pole that had the original rig that broke and started to pull the line out so I could feed it through the eyes of the pole and guess what ZERO drag. At this point I was getting sick to my stomach and needed to use the head. He is not happy that my inner Grogoo has to use the force on his boat but reluctantly he moves a bunch of stuff around so the toilet can be accessed. He then says im good to go and lets me in and shuts the door. What do you know there is no light to turn on and its pitch black ,,,,go figure. Not sure what he was thinking as this could get a whole lot messier for him lucky my aim is true. He calls it at 1 and says we need to head back in....back in with 1 9 inch fish that he cleans for us ...thanks man you rock JJ. What ever you do dont let him pick what to do because he will pick the easiest least gas using least fish catching least boat cleaning thing to do. Bait used - 3 frozen Ballyhoo , didnt have enough lures only 2 Fish caught - 1 Keeper

Alyssa was a great guide, very patient with the group of new divers and accommodating to us more experienced ones. The scuba equipment we rented was very nice, our wet suits were still stretchy and newer. and I was very happy that their regulators were quality and I could take as deep a breath as needed. They also had integrated weights which a lot of dive shops do not. The Captain and dive master worked together to find an alternative dive spot when our first stop had low visibility, which they did. We had two nice dives at Delra and a better one at sombrero reef. Highly recommend Captain cooks and their crew!

They exceeded every expectation. Captain James and his first mate, Allison, were absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone had an amazing experience. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon on the water. The snorkeling itself was incredible. The water was beautiful and clear, and we saw an amazing variety of marine life, including colorful tropical fish, large schools of fish, small sharks, barracuda, and so much more. Every time we looked beneath the surface, there was something new to discover. One of the highlights of the trip was the dolphins. Captain James went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best possible view. He carefully maneuvered the boat so we could watch them from different angles, and at one point he even got them behind the boat where they followed along, jumping and playing in the wake. It was absolutely magical and made for some incredible videos and memories that we will treasure. I would also like to recognize Tabatha in the office. She was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. She made the reservation process simple and stress-free, answered all of our questions, and was genuinely kind and helpful. It was a pleasure meeting her in person as well. From start to finish, the entire experience with Looe Key Reef Dive Center at Looe Key Reef Resort was exceptional. The staff, the boat, the snorkeling, the wildlife, and the customer service were all top-notch. We had an unforgettable afternoon and would absolutely book with them again.

So unless this paperwork appears out of thin air, I'm left with a $1200 kayak I can't use how I want to. Even if it does magically appear, this will have been a frustrating waste of my time and money. I deeply regret my purchase.
