I have gone on Miss cape Canaveral before the trip was good, but not better than being on the Orlando Princess or the Canaveral Star both from the same company. At the last minute we picked the Miss cape and I had two people with me that had never gone deep sea fishing and took off of work to go with me. We got there early and we were happy because the boat wasn't too crowded, there was some room to move about. The boat left the port about 15 minutes late and we were fine with that, we made it out of the port and then the captain said it would be an hour and forty five to fifty five minutes till we got to the first spot. When we got to the first spot the captain drove the boat in circles and finally dropped anchor about 30 minutes after getting to the fishing spot. He gave us the go ahead to drop our lines so we did and started getting bites from fish that belonged in a fish bowl in a kids room. not even 10 minutes after starting to fish the captain called us to pull up our lines. He then drove the boat in circles, putting us only a few feet from where we were last time(this known because of a buoy next to the boat) and reset the anchor this time only taking about 20 minutes. We dropped our lines again still fish the small fish with the exception of two decent sized flounders. About an hour later we were told to pull up our lines we were heading back because of a medical emergency. With the transfer of the passenger to the coast guard vessel our trip back home was almost two and a half hours. We got back 3 hours earlier than we should have. We only fished for a little over an hour and they offered us the option of paying $20 to go back out for the night trip, the next day trip or $40 for any other trip.
My uncle and I chose the night trip and our friend chose not to go back out. We made our reservation for the night trip and went home to rest, around 5:30 Miss Cape called us saying they were not going out tonight but we could still go out tomorrow for $20. Neither of us could take off of work again to go out the next day. So we ended up pay $80 a person to fish for just over an hour and they gave us an offer and then canceled that on us.
This was not my first trip with them but it was my last. $80 for over four times as much riding in a boat than fishing is awful. Next time we go out we will go with the Canaveral Star or Orlando Princess again, You should as well.
Miss Cape Canaveral Will Rip You Off!
