Poor experience
Akura Fishing Charters的点评
点评：If you catch fish on a charter trip, you’ll forgive almost anything. However, I’ve been on enough charters to know that catching a fish is never guaranteed. On those charters, it’s the experience you have while trying to catch a fish that counts. So how did Akura stack up?
The booking and communications were excellent. It was easy to book and Tina went to some effort to get in touch with me about changing the date. She was there to greet us on the day and made us feel welcome.
Unfortunately, that was the best of it. Once on the boat we were told (not asked – and yes there is a difference) to sit down by the skipper (Boof) and given a very brief safety talk and a somewhat patronising and overly long lecture on how to wind in a fish. We were then told to stay sitting down and not to touch anything. He then said he was grumpy and not to talk to him so he could focus on catching fish. He vanished up to the fly bridge and that was the last I saw of him. He didn’t even come down to say thanks for coming or apologise for the lack of fish at the end of the charter. If a skipper is good and we catch fish, grumpy is fine, but this guy really needs to learn skills beyond driving the boat, because clearly he can’t always catch a fish. Perhaps he was embarrassed because the boat next to us were filleting their fish.
So, call me picky of you like, but I rather like a skipper to show some interest in the fishers who are paying $300 each for a fishing experience. Maybe some commentary on where he’s going and what he’s doing to try and target fish. Just so we know he’s trying and not just driving a standard lap of the FADs. Boof clearly believes otherwise. On the plus side, Dan the deck-hand was personable, gave some commentary, and was clearly doing his best.
The boat itself is very seaworthy handled the swell well but had minimum comforts and is a long way from their claim of “cruising in style”. The bottled water rolled around in the bottom of an old chilly bin and the sandwiches (thankfully only one each) were limp white bread with indistinguishable fillings. I strongly suggest you bring your own. Which is somewhat strange because Tina professed to be quite a foodie – check out your sandwiches Tina.
Our experience seems to be echoed by other reviews below where fish weren’t caught. If you’re feeling lucky and confident that luck will translate to fish, then go ahead and try these guys, but if you want a great overall experience look elsewhere.

翻译：如果你在包船垂钓之旅中钓到了鱼，那几乎什么都能被原谅。不过，我参加过不少包船活动，深知能钓到鱼并非理所当然。在这些活动中，真正重要的是你在努力钓鱼的过程中所获得的体验。那么，Akura这次服务如何呢？
预订流程和沟通都很出色。预订十分便捷，蒂娜还特意联系我，商量更改日期的事宜。活动当天她也在现场迎接我们，让我们倍感亲切。
遗憾的是……这就是最精彩的部分了。上了船后，我们被命令（不是被询问——没错，这两者是有区别的）坐在船长（Boof）旁边，接着他给我们做了非常简短的安全讲解，又用一种居高临下且冗长无比的语气讲授了如何收线钓鱼。之后他又要求我们乖乖坐着，不许碰任何东西。接着他说自己脾气不好，让我们别跟他说话，这样他才能专心钓鱼。说完他就上了驾驶台，那是我最后一次见到他。他甚至都没下来道谢，也没为包船结束时没捕到鱼而道歉。如果船长人不错且我们确实捕到了鱼，那他脾气有点暴躁也无可厚非；但这家伙真的需要学习些驾船之外的技能，因为显然他并不总能捕到鱼。或许是因为我们旁边的船上的人正在给鱼去骨，让他觉得有些难为情吧。
所以，你们就当我挑剔好了。不过我倒是希望船长能对那些每人花费300美元来体验钓鱼的顾客表现出一些关心。最好能稍微介绍一下他要去哪里，以及打算采取什么方法来钓到鱼。这样我们就能知道他确实在努力，而不只是在FAD周围按固定路线航行而已。显然，Boof并不这么认为。值得称赞的是，船员Dan为人亲切，还做了些解说，显然也在竭尽全力。这条船的适航性不错，能很好地应对海浪，但舒适度实在极差，与他们所宣称的“优雅巡航”相去甚远。瓶装水就在一个旧冷藏箱的底部滚来滚去；那些三明治（谢天谢地，每人只有一个）是用软塌塌的白面包做的，里面的馅料也完全分不清是什么。我强烈建议你自己带食物。这有点奇怪，因为蒂娜自称是个美食爱好者——蒂娜，好好看看你的三明治吧。我们的体验似乎与下面其他那些没钓到鱼的评论相呼应。如果你运气不错，也坚信自己能靠运气钓到鱼，那不妨试试这些钓具；但如果你希望获得绝佳的整体体验，还是另作选择吧。
