    We chartered a fishing trip on a 26 foot boat through Surface Tension Sports Fishing in Lewes, DE and had one of the worst experiences ever!!!

    I would give a rating of 0 if I could for the following reasons:

    - The Captain never gave our group any safety precautions nor did he show or tell us where the life preservers where located before taking off from the dock.

    - The conditions out to sea were horrible were the wind was blowing at 15 mph and white caps were at 4 to 5 feet high going out 10 miles or more to the fishing spots.

    - Even when we got to the fishing spots the boat was rocking back and forth and side to side so much that it was very hard to stand and keep your balance let alone try to fish.

    - The Captain was very arrogant and only wanted the money knowing that we would not catch many if any fish on the trip. I cost us over $900 for all of us including the tip for the mate.

    - Knowing the conditions were going to be very bad and possibly putting our lives in jeopardy the Captain should have cancelled this trip and rescheduled when there would be better weather and a better possibility to catch some fish.

    - Also the fact that we did not catch anything in 6 hours due to the conditions the Captain should have taken off some of the total cost or offered another trip at a lower cost.

    I will never take a charter boat using Surface Tension Sports Fishing ever again and warn anyone who was thinking about it not to and to go with another company!!

    Very Upset Customer !!!
