Sorry it took a while for my respond, but had to verify some things. Why you waited till you got home to call me names like jerk?? You could have told me right away at the dock! Why is it that some people's "balls" are growing and their brains are shrinking once they sit safe at home behind their computer? Then give me one reason why I should thank you for your booking?? Captain and crew woke up at 4.30am for nothing, and your $100 deposit ( doubt if you payed them, guess the bailed out ones did) does not cover anything. I thank my customers after the trip for fishing with us ! Then nobody can book any other captain through my website, check if you find any other capt/ boat. I did you a favor because you asked me. And yes, you save money by booking through the website by not paying commission to third party's. Also I saved you $50 by booking capt Randy for you, he charges $350 for a half day! And yes, I'm a happy person, untill I meet people who let me wake up at 4.30am, gear up a boat and and no show up. Next time before you book, separate the boozers/ party people from the real fishermen, save you money and us a headache. Then people like you make me consider to change my deposit policy like a lot of captains in the States do, some even up to 48 hours cancellation before the trip will pay the full amount. Will Tripadvisor give us captains in the future the chance to rate our customers?? You still gave me a +1, thank you for that, minus 1 for you ! Have a nice day !!

Pfffff, there we go again! First of all, I have no idea what my dog has to do with this, and yes, my truck is not new but clean inside and my dog has never been in the truck. Next time U want to be picked up ask if they come with the extended Hummer with champagne. Make sure that you are in the Ritz Carlton and not in the cheap Riu to keep your status up. Then this is the way we fish in Aruba, only if we know our customers well they are allowed to set the hook. The last time an unknown fisherman came with his own fighting belt and wanted to set the hook himself ended in the hospital with 8 stitches in his knee and he wanted me to pay the hospital bill because the water was too rough. We ask always after the charter if our customers like to take fish to cook themselves or if they like me to set them up with a restaurant. So we did with you. As my website state you can not take all the fish, 1/3 if you insist. But to make it up, contact our local UPS and I will still send you 15 lbs fish. They charge $43 per pound for dry ice and $25 for a cooler, shipment comes extra and you have to take care of customs. Then for your info, the fish was not sold but eaten by ourselves since the locals love the king and me and my family the cuda. Next time you're in Aruba look me up and I invite you for a free session, as decoy for my K9 without a biting suit. Regards, Capt. Peter

I don't know who you are, and what you've been catching , but if you would have spent 50 dollars more you could also have been back on the dock within a hour, seasick. He went to the rough side where we've been before with other boats with no luck. So we try calmer waters and see if we can find fish there. All the charter boats would love to losd their boat every day, but it's not always like that, this game is called fishing , not catching. And yes, somerimes one boat brings in more then another, and the next day maybe nothing. To judge a boat just by spending a few hours on the dock is too easy. My suggestion to you is go play golf or so, to prevent another day of being dissapionted out on the ocean You can bring the hotse to the water, you can't make it drink!! Capt. Peter
