I spoke with customer service representative and told him that we could not make the trip happen because of high winds on date to fish and a bilge pump went out a few days after, he understood.
Very enjoyable trip. Everything provided (well, we did bring our own snacks), personable and competent skipper worked hard to put us on fish. Money well spent.
Melody, it's great to hear that you had a fantastic time on your trip and now have some wonderful memories to cherish! Bringing your own snacks is always a smart move, you never know how hungry you can get out on the water. It's fantastic that the skipper was not only friendly but also skilled, ensuring you had the best opportunity to reel in some fish. I hope we get to welcome you on another trip in the future. Until next time! - Niko
Our guide on our four hour excursion was an amazingly nice guy and super knowledgeable about the area. Plus, we caught a few kick $#*! fish, which is the goal I guess right!
Great day, great weather, caught several fish were still bragging about. Definitely if given the opportunity, I will look to use Fishing Booker when planning my trip.
Didn't catch anything that's why they call it fishing. But had a great time. Captain was very friendly and great conversation. Looking forward to going out again.
Sorry to hear the fishing wasn't great, Bryan. We're glad you still had a good time though!
Fishing booker makes it so easy to search, book, and track my fishing trips.
I really appreciate the notifications, clear directions, extra details.
Well Done
Hi Vincent, thanks for your great review. We're really happy to hear that we're helping your fishing trips run as smoothly as possible! All the best from FishingBooker.
I used fishing booker for a father son fishing trip in Florida. It was easy to use and quick communication. We had a great day on the water with Captain Eric.
Thank you for your review, Mark. We're glad to hear that you had a pleasant day of family fishing with Captain Eric. Feel free to contact us next time you decide to book. All the best
Enjoyed it so much we booked a second trip the next week. Definitely a fun boat and outstanding ability to find the fish. If you're looking for a small 6 or less charter, this is your team!
We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip with Always Tight Fishing Charter Destin, Michael! Thanks for the great review.
Had a refund issue. Although initially frustrating, FishingBooker issued my refund and issued a credit for next time using FishingBooker. Didnt have to but they did it anyway. Appreciated very much!
Captain Leng of Kraken Sportfishing was terrific! He was knowledgeable, friendly and professional! Of course, most importantly, he showed my daughter and her boyfriend a good time AND where BEST to catch the fish! We enjoyed blackened rockfish and sheepshead fish tacos and Ceviche for dinner that night! The fish was so fresh and delicious! Thank you, Captain Leng! Can't wait to do it again!
Thanks for your review, Judith! We're so happy to hear that you had a great time – and a good dinner afterwards too! :)
We had a fantastic day for spring break. It was a little early in the season but we caught my favorite Trigger Fish. Bobby and Kent were wonderful hosts.
Thanks for your review!
Every time I go out of town, travel, or just want to fish. I always get a charter on fishing Booker. Great easy site, very helpful and finding fishing charters even outside of the U.S.
Hi Kyle, it is always a pleasure to welcome you back! We are glad to hear you find the website so helpful and easy to use and will work towards providing even better service in the future. Tight lines!
Our Captain was AMAZING! He put us on Redfish almost immediately and we limited out within two hours. He then took us to catch Black Drum just because I mentioned liking to eat them. Doing so involved going back to the marina to get different bait - I was impressed.
The Black Drum bite was exceptional and we caught 7 in about two hours.
All in all a PERFECT Day.
Thanks so much for your review, Chester! That sounds like a truly memorable trip. We hope we can help you find more amazing charters in the future!
Family day out with a 11 and 13 year old. Great fun, 2 groupers, 1 GT and 1 tuna … got taken to a beach restaurant where they cooked our fish for lunch.
We went out on the dog bone had a great time booked ahead they contacted us and sent us info for the trip what to bring. Captain was great will do it again.
Thanks for your great review, Judith! I'm glad you had a good trip and hope we can help you go fishing again in the future.
It was one of the rougher days I've been a boat. 8 foot swells all over. I really appreciated the captain and mate doing all they did to get us on a few fish and make sure everyone had a good time.
Hi Christopher, thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that you had a good time, despite the tough conditions. If you decide to hit the water again, feel free to get in touch. All the best from FishingBooker.
Capt recommended waiting a day due to weather which is understandable. Charter was supposed to be at 7a next morning. He then said 730a switched later to 9a meet time then 1p! Noon came around on Tuesday and we were headed to the marina and he canceled the charter due to boat issues. No alternatives our anything. Very disappointing
Barrett, we're sorry to hear about the problems you had with your trip, especially that you never got to go out on the water. We'd really like to help you get on the water and have applied some credit to your account to go towards a future trip. You should have received a message about this in your inbox. Let us know if you'd like any help with this!
As a boat captain I accept bookings through fishing booker. Their customer service and support for the captain's that work hard to pay their salary is the utmost worst support system ever.
Hi Janna,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m sorry you weren't happy with the solutions we offered when you contacted us about negative customer reviews on your listing. Speaking to you the other day allowed us to get a better insight into your concerns.
Just like you, we see tremendous value in customer reviews. They are a key reflection of your service, after all.
We allow customers to share their opinion whether that's positive or negative, which is why they trust us as a platform and why we can bring you more business. If we removed negative reviews, the positive ones would lose their value.
We understand that you were concerned because one of your customers left a negative review with no comment. Sadly, not every customer will take time to leave comments on their reviews. While this is understandable, I can see how it isn’t very helpful when you’re on the receiving end of such a review. Talking to you made this even more apparent.
Our product team is currently working on a way to make sure that customers leave more constructive feedback in the future. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this with us – this is helping us shape up a better solution for everyone.
Being here to support you is a high priority here at FishingBooker. In fact, this is why we expanded our Customer Support to be available to you 24/7. Together with dedicated Account Managers, our teams will always be there to help you manage your business.
We understand that you work hard to run a profitable business these days. As you know, we take a commission on successful trips only. But before we do, we invest in advertising your business online, as well as the tools that make managing a charter business easier for you.
This has allowed us to bring more business to charter fishing guides than any other online platform worldwide. We will continue working hard to bring you even more business, and we hope this will trickle down to many more 5-star reviews on your listing.
In the meantime, you can expect to hear from us as soon as we have an update on your reviews and the review process in general.
Tight lines!
Everythimg IS very easyMore than a year working together, everything very easy and simple.
I hope they always continue with the same way of working to help each other.
Thank you
We booked a fishing trip through Fishing Booker in Anna Maria Island in late October but unfortunately had to cancel due to ill.
There was quite a delay in getting back the deposit due to confusion between the boat skipper and Fishing Booker but all has now been resolved.
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
Laurence, thanks for sharing your experience! It's reassuring to hear that the customer service representative was understanding of your situation. Dealing with high winds and a faulty bilge pump can be tricky. If you ever need assistance again, don't hesitate to reach out!
