FISHING CHARTERS FAQ
DO I NEED ANY FISHING EXPERIENCE?
Nope! All anglers are welcome.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, camera, food, drinks (a cooler full of ice and water will be supplied), boat shoes/non-slip footwear (white bottomed), foul weather gear if necessary.
CAN MY KIDS JOIN?
100%…kids are the best anglers on the water!
WILL WE STILL GO OUT IN BAD WEATHER?
This is at the Captain’s discretion. Safety is his number one concern so you’ll never have to worry. Saltwater fish do love the rain though, so that probably won’t stop you from going!
IS FOOD OR BOOZE ALLOWED ON BOARD?
Yes, but please drink responsibly, and try not to bring glass…we don’t want any chipped teeth.
CAN WE KEEP THE FISH?
Captain Mark will gladly fillet the fish you’d like to keep, as long as it abides by the current regulations.
WHAT KIND OF TACKLE WILL WE NEED?
All rods, reels, and tackle will be provided but feel free to bring your personal set-up.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
Full deposit refunded up to 1 week in advance of a trip cancellation; no deposit refunded thereafter. If the trip is postponed due to weather, there will be a full refund or we will try to reschedule.
WHAT TIME DOES THE BOAT DEPART THE DOCK?
Typically 0600 for morning trips and 1200 for afternoon trips.
Offshore trips will usually depart around 0500 or possibly earlier for tuna.
HOW LONG DO EXCURSIONS LAST?
Half day inshore trips are 4-5 hours. Full day inshore trips are 7-8 hours. Shark & tuna trips could be 10-12 hours or longer.
IS THERE A BATHROOM ONBOARD?
You bet!
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED ONBOARD?
For inshore charters, 6 guests is the max although 4 is more comfortable. For tuna, 3 guests is the limit and 5 for sharks. For sunset cruises, we can bring 9 friends out.
