Pastime Princess Deep Sea Fishing

Well I read the reviews and went anyway...guess I should've listened. The crew members were nice but the captains friends ruined the whole trip. They would cast over our lines, the only chum used was dumped directly in front of them, they took up anywhere from 2-4 rod spots each and were in on the kitty. Which of course they won ... so f**k the pastime princess, never again. Not even if it was free! I just wish that I could give 0 stars...

BEWARE!! Do NOT buy a voucher from Half Off Depot, CrowdSavings, or Groupon for this merchant. You will be given very limited dates to choose from, you are NOT allowed to speak to a live person, and response via email (from captain) may or may not be provided. Also, please note that your scheduled trip may be cancelled without any reason......even when the weather is beautiful! Half Off Depot shows that this merchant has 2 locations, New Smyrna Beach and Orlando, however there are NOT 2 locations!

The lady who Posted before me must have been a prissy little princess. Seriously. Just because the boat is called the "Past Time Princess" doesn't mean you should act like a snobby one. This fishing trip was the highlight of my vacation. The Boat-ride itself was worth the money . And the crew worked hard so each person never had to unhook a fish or untangle their line, not tipping them is just rude. We caught quite a bit of fish, and a lot of sun too! And as a bonus the food on board was very very affordable and my stomach loved it. I would definitely go out with this crew again! :)

We were moved from seat to seat, and it seemed it was to accommodate the boat crew’s friends. Since the ship was over crowded we were forced to ride the 2 or more hour ride on the top of the boat, which made my boyfriend and me uncontrollably seasick. After we finally arrived we were allowed to come back down stairs, however at this point we were too sick to even fish. Neither of us touched a pole the entire 10 hours. While we were trying to soothe ourselves in a attempt to enjoy the day we shuffled around, which again was only so their friends could have our spot. Then when we started heading back the crew members forced the all the passengers to either go inside or back on top of the boat, because they were going to clean it. (They didn't want to do it when they got back, even told us it's our fault b/c they had to clean everyone's fish, which was included in the $80 admission) My boyfriend and I reluctantly went inside however there were no seats and made us even sicker. We refused to stand inside, so they sprayed us with fish guts and cold water. After several people complained they opted to clean one side of the boat, letting us sit on the other side. We still got wet; one crew member even dropped the water hose on my boyfriend's lap nearly wetting his phone. We were all around treated really poorly and when it was apparent that we would not be leaving a tip, we were told "DON'T COME BACK".
