Nothing but perfection. I have now chartered 1/2 dozen boats here in San Diego and down in Cabo San Lucas. All have been as described. Fast and simple to book and they follow up with your dates book prior. Rock on FishBroker
This was a great experience as I had booked a trip and it was cancelled due to the hurricane damage in MS and the site notified and gave me other options to book another charter with another boat.
Thanks for your great review, Michael! We're really happy to hear you managed to get on the water despite everything and that you had a good trip. We hope we can help you go fishing again soon!
We booked a very successful fishing trip in Cabo through Fishing Booker. It was easy todo, the service was great and we would use them again.
Thanks very much for your review, Ken! We're very happy to hear that you liked our service and are looking forward to helping you go fishing again soon. Tight lines!
Our Family had a great time on the Fish Whistle! Captain Randall Lomax and his First Mate Grady were super nice guys who made the experience great for everyone including my young son and nephew. They put us on the fish, while no charter can guarantee what the catch will be. We were able to catch 60+ keepers with times where there were fish on all lines out... It was a blast- Thank you Guys!
Thanks for your review, Jesse – your catch sounds impressive! We're glad you enjoyed your trip and hope we can help you go fishing again soon.
We had a great time with Captin Ben! Put us on some fish and cam home with bags of fresh Wahoo and Mahi.
Thanks for your review, Michael. Sounds like an amazing trip!
Great trip caught lots of fish crew was great. Would definitely go again
Thanks for your amazing review, Devyn! We're glad you had a good time.
I signed up for inshore fishing, when we arrived Don had all this heavy rods and reels and said we were going for mackerel and Spanish's mackerel, caught one little Spanish.
That was all we caught all morning. If Captain wants to reimburse us he can send me a check.
By the way, Don was a nice guy, very funning, told good stories
Good guy, louses guide!
George, we're sorry to hear you didn't have a good trip and didn't catch as much as you were hoping to. We hope we can help you go fishing again and that you see more action next time!
Best day of fishing ever. The boat and Captain Kevin were the best. On time and took us to the fish right away. We caught are limit real fast. The only problem was we had to caught and release so many fish because the were to big (long). The four of use could not remember how many we caught because we caught so many. The Captain was running raged helping us and providing us with information. If you want a great trip this is the boat and Captain to go with.
Harry, thanks so much for your review – that sounds like an incredible day with Coastline Charters. We hope we can help you repeat the experience again soon!
Thanks for your great review, Emil! We're so glad you like our website and hope we can help you go fishing again soon.
Thanks so much for your review, Reuben! It means a lot to hear that you like our site and we're looking forward to helping you go fishing again soon.
We chose to book for 8 hours and had a great time. Crew did a very good job and we caught plenty. Even got the marlin I was wanting.
Thanks for your review, Adam – we're so glad you had a good time and caught plenty of fish. We hope we can help you book another great trip soon!
Ray was excellent and very knowledgeable about the fish we were after.
Thanks for your review, RJ – we're happy you had a good trip with Captain Ray!
We had a wonderful time fishing with Deep Color Fishing, and Capt. Hank Valencia. Hank was very accommodating and knowledgeable from the start. We had a 28" in Grouper on the line, in a matter of minutes. We both maxed out on Grouper, and had a ton of other bites. I even hooked a Barracuda. It was a beautiful day and most importantly, fun. We then went to a local restaurant Hank recommended, and had them cook up the fish. It was great and plenty of left overs. Highly recommended and will be booking with him again.
Thanks for your amazing review, Jessica! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your trip with Captain Hank – it sounds like a truly memorable day. We hope we can help you go on another great charter again in the future!
You would think paying this much for a fishing trip you would get someone with experience. Not what we paid for. Drove around wasting time without even a nibble. Captain didn't seem like he wanted to be there. I would not waste time booking with FishingBooker if they continue hiring captains with no experience.
John, we're really sorry to hear that you weren't happy with your fishing trip. It's always disappointing when the weather and the fish just aren't playing ball!
At FishingBooker, we only work with captains once we've manually verified their charter fishing credentials. Everyone starts somewhere, and that's why you can see how long the captain has been qualified when you look at their profile. Captain Will has a strong record of providing great fishing trips, with a 4.4 star rating from the previous customers who booked him with us. We're really sorry you didn't get to see the great level of fishing action that others have enjoyed with him and hope that the fish are biting better on your next trip!
Easy to book online. Captain Mike of Corks and Croakers was great he took time to teach my 9 year old grandson some helpful things.
Captain stayed out fishing past cut off to try and find more redfish. We will be back.
Thanks for your great review, Craig! We're glad you found it easy to book and hope we can help you get on the water again in the future. Tight lines!
Had a great experience. The site was easy to use and great reminders!
Thanks for your great review, Michael! We're glad you liked our site and that the reminders were helpful. We hope you enjoyed your trip!
We had an amazing time with Captain Jay and first mate John. They are both very knowledgeable and kind. We were able to catch our limit even though the storm a few days prior brought some uncertainty about the conditions. We were able to ask questions and get honest answers to help build our skills as fishermen and fisherlady! These are the types of people you want to go out with down to earth, friendly, knowledgeable and truly enjoy fishing and not just in it for the paycheck.
Thank you so much for your review, Edward – we're really happy to hear that you had such a good trip. We hope we can help you repeat it in the future!
We had a wonderful time and caught 5 large fish. Captain and 1st mate were great. Would highly recommend!
Thanks for your amazing review, Karen!
We left the dock and enjoyed a beautiful sunrise on our way to Oregon Inlet.
No sooner had Charles, the mate, put out the line we had a fish on.
That scenario repeated itself 26 more times with Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel and a Sand Shark.
Wow, that sounds like an incredible trip, Daniel! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We hope we can help you go fishing again soon!
We had a great time with Captain Phil. The weather conditions were not ideal, but he still put us on some fish!
Thanks very much for your review! We're glad you had a good time and hope we can help you go fishing again soon.
Answer: Scam. Fishingbooker is a rip off. Nothing but trouble. No customer service and they charge your credit card. Look out.
Answer: A: Hi Jamie, it really depends on the duration of your trip and the location you'd like to go fishing in. There are captains who offer departure times based on the cruise timetables and can get you back on time. I'd suggest you message the charters you'd like to go out with and inquire about this. I'm sure they will be able to assist you. Also, you can contact our customer service, and we'll gladly help you find something suitable. Many thanks, Maria
Answer: Hi Lawrence, we refunded your deposit after your trip in September was canceled. Please let us know if this is now resolved. Many thanks, Cat
