Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Well organised, professional... moved around to find the spot/s. Good all-round catch considering the conditions, which included a 20KG gummy!
Great day out.
Will be back.

Ryan and Liam gave us a great day, more tuna than we could count, all under very rough conditions, none of us certainly had ever been out in waves that big. The boat ,skipper and deckhand were excellent.
