CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

D'Arcey Kelleher - Melbourne - November 2009

Thanks Sharina for a wonderful fishing charter last Sunday.
The fishing was good and the skipper had a lot of patience in his choice of locations.
The fishing options were made easier because the boat had a range of gear on board from light rigs to trolling gear.
Most of my praise went to the helpful crew that kept the hooks baited all day and gave us all great encouragement throughout the day.

Peter Saunders - May 10 2010

 Hi Guys,
Went out with Tony and Joe today.
I would just like to let you know that they were terrific.
Very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
It is probably what I expected, but, most of the time when you expect it, doesn't arrive very often. 
It sure did on this occasion
Could you please pass on my thanks to both Tony and Joe, they are a credit to your company.
I'm hoping to do a snapper trip at a later date and will definitely go out with those guys.
I would also be delighted to recommend "Rip Charters to all my friends, and will.
Regards
Peter Saunders
