Jetman: If it makes you feel any better, just know that I was seriously considering using this numb-nuts when a couple of buddies and I journey down there in the next year as one of the guys is big into deep sea fishing. I was going to select this scumbag as he was(?) a CRT Sponsor and the website looked OK (lots of stuff not filled in, but decent pictures). needless to say I am glad I ran accross this report.
It is probably better for all concerned because the other guy is a judo black belt who was a alternate in the Olympics some time ago and a prison guard who has physically expressed his displeasure in the past to a rather profane and impolite Kiwi white water rafting guide in Australia (among various others), so it is probably just as well for Senor Angry Marlin that we book elsewhere to avoid the risk of him becoming "Senor Tenderized Tuna" when he tried the same bull-sheet on us.
In my humble opinion, Jetman has more than substantiated his side of the story regardless of the opinion that "the truth lies somewhere in the middle" for the simple reason is that we all know that scammers like these do exist in CR in abundance and he has painted a very accurate picture of how this dirtbag operates: (1) He keeps his boat in the cheapest possible area (2) He probably dropped them off for breakfast to complete some other service/scam (3) He seeks the minimum standard to reach to say that he has fulfilled the contract. (4) He lies constantly about where he leaves from, what you pay for, etc. (5) At least one other person has substantiated how this bottom-feeder operates.
I would like to ask Admin whether this guy is still a sponsor as that does imply an endorsement of his services. And that also begs the question of how disputes like this should be resolved. Most of the time with honorable merchants, some recompense is offered. Apparently Senor Angry Tadpole is making no such offer and has denied everything.
