We jad to pay an additional $90 U.S. for licenses, doc fees, and bait. The bait was either $20 or $30 for 3 love fish and 2 dead fish. We caught 2 fish and missed a few others. The seats were pretty uncomfortable. I wouldn't purchase this excursion again or reccomend it. Captain Chummy was a good dude.”
