UPDATE: Kevin has lied in his response alleging that the entire communication thread was entirely via text and choosing to mislead and exclude our conversations. The fact that he is dug into the false narrative that he is the innocent victim of a bad review is exactly what I would expect given our prior experience.
The captain can absolutely make or break a fishing charter experience, which is why I strongly recommend that anyone considering booking this boat have a direct conversation with Kevin before committing thousands of dollars and an entire day on the water.
After we booked a nearly $1,600 half-day charter, Kevin contacted us and informed us there would be an additional fuel surcharge beyond the quoted price. During that conversation, he explicitly stated that if we were uncomfortable with the added charge, we could cancel the trip.
Based on that discussion, we canceled within approximately 36 hours of booking. This was also for a weekday Wednesday charter — not a peak weekend date booked months in advance — so it is difficult to believe the cancellation created any meaningful hardship or prevented him from rebooking the trip.
However, Kevin then reversed course and refused to refund our deposit, offering only a future booking credit instead. He justified keeping the deposit by claiming we did not select the correct cancellation option in the app, despite there being no option that reflected the situation he himself had presented — that we could cancel if we did not agree to the added fuel charge.
What was most disappointing was not just the financial dispute, but Kevin’s behavior throughout the interaction. During multiple conversations, he was rude, hostile, aggressive, and unnecessarily inflammatory when we tried to resolve the issue professionally.
A fishing charter is supposed to be an enjoyable experience, and the captain’s attitude is a huge part of that. Based on our experience, I would strongly encourage anyone considering this charter to carefully evaluate whether this is someone they want to spend an entire day confined on a boat with.
