We made reservations in advance of going on our fishing charter that afternoon with the intentions of having them prepare what we caught. Thankfully we caught something and were able enjoy what the chef prepared for us. The chef and staff both did an amazing job. It’s an experience we’ll remember for a lifetime!!!
