My daughter and I had an incredible blast. She is special needs, but high functioning and the captain and mate really took good care of her and helped her every step of the way where they felt she needed it. We had an absolute fun time, besides catching good fish. On a very weird weather day, lots of everything, sun, rain, clouds, hot, cool; we caught nice mahi-mahi, king fish, and blackfin tuna. I recommend any fisherman from novice to experienced to head out with Capt. rice and the best deckhand/fish Zen master, Russia!
