I'm a repeat customer, I keep coming back. Once I get on the boat the crews are always friendly, they're there when I need them, and I always catch fish! What can I say? When I'm on a Virg's boat, all I concern my self with is catching fish and drinking beer, they handle everything else. What more could I ask for?
