Voyager Fishing Fleet

I took a 3/4 day split charter fishing trip with my son in July 2008. I have been on dozens of off shore trips in my life and this was by far the worst. The Captain was late, the air conditioning was not working, the seas were 6-10 feet, and there was a heat advisory. The No smoking policy in the cabin was not enforced.

We left the dock at 7:45. (We were supposed to leave at 7am) It took 3 hours to reach the destination in 6-10 foot seas where we trolled in a small circle for about an hour, pulled in the lines and then went back toward shore for about an hour stopped and trolled for another 15 minutes before we headed back to shore for the day. It was about 4 hours earlier than expected.

My son had a migraine and heatstroke as there was no air condition and a heat advisory in effect for the whole Myrtle Beach area. When I told the captain of my concerns and displeasure he blew up at me and was very defensive. I would not recommend this charter to anyone. Beware
