While the vast majority of trips are met with enthusiasm and satisfaction, some guests have expressed concerns regarding weather conditions impacting the fishing experience or issues with communication.

The team strives to address these situations fairly by offering discounts or refunds when appropriate to maintain strong relationships and ensure guest satisfaction.
In all instances, the crew commits to putting in hard work and using their extensive local knowledge to maximize fishing opportunities.
