The entire crew provides Incredible customer service and the food was fantastic! Top notch operation!! Three levels above other boats I've been on!!Posted on Robert ArnoldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am an avid & experienced offshore fisherman who has done multiple trips aboard the Islander throughout the years. The Islander is simply top notch with great food & superior customer service. The Islander also offers air conditioned staterooms. With a boat length of 88 feet by 24 feet in width, the Islander is roomy & comfortable with a max load of 31 people on short trips, 28 people on multiple day trips. The captain & crew always fish hard & gives maximum effort. They are efficient, professional & polite. I have never had a bad trip on this vessel. Highly recommended for those looking for limited loads & a sport fishing boat that is a cut above the competition.Posted on Andy OdetteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Pete gave us the time of our lives. I came to San Diego hoping to fish giant bluefin off San Clemente Island and boy did they deliver. Also the food was gourmet and plentiful. I hope to go with these guys again. Thanks Islander crew. You guys rock!Posted on Sarah GannonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in 2015 in November and I look back as one of the best experiences of my lifetime. Great Whites on every dive, except for one. We had a great group of people on board. Great food for every meal. Great professional and knowledgeable crew. When I watch Shark Week it brings back so many memories being on that boat. We even gave Andy Casagrande a ride back when we departed. He was so gracious and showed us some footage that was so cool. Jimmy met me in San Diego afterwards to identify sharks for a DVD I put together for everyone on board. If you are even thinking about cage diving with great whites, this is the company to go with! FYI, I am using my daughter's GMAIL for this post.Posted on Adam CampTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
