Zero Customer service. Its all online and with slow response times. Confusing. Not up to date Capt. Information. They have your credit card and they Will charge it if you make a mistake or have trouble booking a trip which happens often. Stay Clear. No Help available.

While it was the perfect day to be on the water, calm and sunny, and we caught as many fish as we desired, Scooter did not stop talking. He was a non-stop motor mouth. Being self-employed ourselves, we take great care not to say anything personally offensive or politically incorrect to our potential clients; not Scott. If you get a charge out of colorful individuals and appreciate endless chatter, this is your fishing charter. If you enjoy quiet on the peaceful waters, select another charter.

The boat is really nice and was fun to be on the water. Loved seeing Sanibel Island and seeing wildlife made a good experience. As a novice fishermen we had some knowledge of how to fish. I would of liked to spend more time fishing then going from place to place. More guidance on fishing techniques and some more information on what fish we are going for and what we want to do to catch them would of been a great addition to the experience. Birds kept stealing my bait fish and flying off with it still on hook! Which made a funny story so we had a great time!

FishingBooker took our money and confirmed a full day trip for 7. The boat never arrived. Complete waste of time & incredibly inconvenient. Wasted $70 RT on a cab ride to the dock. Stood waiting in the dark/cold for over an hour. No answer to numerous calls and texts. Gave up and went home with 4 very tired and disappointed boys. Finally got an email 3 hours later about "engine trouble." No substitute boat arranged & nobody available to answer phones due to a "holiday". Wasted day. Refused to reimburse taxi costs. FishingBooker accepts no responsibility for the actions of the boats they book you with.

I provided an honest review of a recent charter that I booked. They totally whitewashed the review to protect the charter. I gave positive points and negative points to help future buyers know what to expect with the charter I chose. It appears they will try and protect their golden geese from posting the description of the review of anything less than stellar to preserve the symbiotic business dealings. Meanwhile, everything positive described is posted.

Booked for a fishing charter through their web-site on September 1,2020 for October 2,2020. I contacted the captain 12 days before the grip and asked him about details of the fishing charter, uniform requirements and other important information. He did not provide any information and asked me to contact him two days before the trip.

Fishingbooker does not wanna publish my review as they support and backup bad and fraudulent behavior of their partner and interested that more people will be trapped by this scammer.

After you travelled many hours and would like to get a service that you paid expensive price for, but you see a scam!

I have my business listed with this company and it is hopeless. Fishing booker will not answer my emails, they have deleted phone numbers so that they can't be contacted., They won't let me log on with my email as they say it doesn't exist but they keep sending me emails on the same address. I have changed a lot of important matters how I operate the business and need to reflect this on my listing but I can't change anything as I can't even reach my own listing and the company is uncontactable. This is highly unprofessional and quite frankly bloody hopeless.

We booked a trip out of Destin for a 6 am departure. It is our experience that fish bite in the morning. Our deposit for that time slot was processed and THEN the captain called and said his boat was in the shop and he might be able to take us out at 11 or the next day. We had plans for the next day.
They did not give us our deposit back! This is a scam. The reviews for this captains had 3 cancelled trips in a row. Do they just take people's deposits all day and then inform that there boat is broken but so sorry... no refund. This was for the charter boat Malia Ann

Wife's 40th birthday approaching. Can't throw a party with COVID... can't travel like we normally do... so let's do a private fishing charter!

Talked to several friends with boats, all busy that weekend. Called local charters that we knew of. All booked. Someone mentioned this site, fishingbooker.com.

On July 11th I booked a charter for Aug 1st. Offshore fishing for 6 hours. Paid a deposit. Received several emails and text messages confirming our trip. Also received emails reminding me of my reservation.

Attempted to contact the captain through the website messaging system just to find out what we needed to bring. Didn't hear anything back. Finally, clicked on the button to get captains number directly. Received a call back the day before the scheduled and confirmed trip that he had absolutely NO idea that we booked a trip with him. He apologized, and attempted to do his best to reach out directly with other charters that he knew of.

I went BACK on fishingfinder.com on July 31st and looked for another charter for Aug 1st. Found one that showed available. Booked the trip, and PAID ANOTHER DEPOSIT.

Now that I knew to look for the button to contact the captain directly, I immediately called to confirm with him directly. He called me back a few hours later. He also explained that he had NO IDEA HOW we were able to book a trip with his charter through this site. He was completely booked for the weekend, just like everyone else.

Summarize... planned a nice fishing trip for my wife's 40th birthday. Paid a deposit. Got several confirmations via email and text.

No fishing! No trip actually booked! Attempted to book ANOTHER TRIP through the same website. Again, paid another deposit. NO TRIP. NO FISHING.

I basically paid this site money twice for nothing. Great birthday present! Sorry honey, I failed on the highlight of the weekend birthday experience.

I'm sure I will get my refunded deposits... but no fishing! So I pay a website money twice and have to do work to get money back.

Words can't describe how frustrating this is.

So we booked a trip very easily and deposited just $75. 00. 6 hour trip out of Fernandina Florida. Everything seemed fine till the day of our trip. I get a text from the "Capt" stating his boat broke he had to cancel. Fine I get it. I tried to call him and see about rebooking or if there was another Capt and boat available to fish same day. The number is a non working number. I then try to contact fishingbooker and can not reach a single person. This company never tried to contact me or reach out to make other arrangements. They left us high and dry. I would never use them again or recommend this company to anyone STAY AWAY FOLKS. Find a Capt and contact them directly. We normally fish a few times a year on the gulf coast we use Tomcat out of PCB Fl. I have had trips canceled but they contacted me personally and made arrangements to fix it or make my next trip better. Fishingbooker is crap.
