The captain and mate worked very hard trying to find fish. We went off shore after Mahi Mahi but did nothing. It was extremely rough so we moved closer to shore where we caught 5 yellow tail snapper and a Spanish Mackeral. We lost a huge grouper because the captain had set the drag too tight to try to pull it out of a hole . When it came out it ran and snapped the line . The boat needs some work- the fighting chair is in deplorable condition. We could only troll three line’s because one of the outriggers was broken. One of the fishing poles was all taped up with white tape because it looked like it was broken

We had a great time. Caught yellow snapper, albies and a big barracuda in u see 4 hours. Wonderful boat, captain and first mate super knowledgeable and friendly. I’ve done a lot of charters and I thought this was by far the best.
It was an average day fishing but amazing snorkeling. The fish did not cooperate. But still caught many barracudas and 2 black fins. The scenery was beautiful and the crew friendly and helpful. I would warn you though, the boat is not captain mike. He has hired entire crew, so expect to tip the entire crew. I have never experienced this before. I have plenty offshore experience. But have never had a captain get upset after I tipped the mates, until this trip. I don’t mind tipping appropriately, but I do not like getting asked for a tip. I felt bad so I gave him a tip, but I do not want anyone else to have to experience that. As long as you know going into it, it may have made it better.

Thank you for your review. To clarify one of your points…Chubasco Charters has 2 vessels in our fleet…Chubasco, captained by Capt. Mike and Chubasco VI by Capt. Charlton. Chubasco VI’s listing clearly states that Capt. Charlton is the captain. In this area, tips are shared between the Capt. and mate/mates. We’re happy you enjoyed our beautiful islands, snorkeling the pristine waters and fishing.
Excellent trip. Boat was large and comfortable. We caught over 10 fish including 3 huge ones. Lots of shade under the awning. Crew was knowledgeable and had us reeling in fish left and right. Would definitely go again.
Captain Charltan with crew Kelsey and Tyrus were great to fish with. They were very knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. Had loads of action. Great day overall.
