What should I bring?

Sunglasses, bathing suit, towels, sunscreen (preferably not spray) and food or beverage of your choice. Our captains and Mates go out of their way to provide the best experience possible. When fishing our mates work on tips and if you feel they have taken care of you it is common to tip up to 20%.

Alcohol is allowed on board for those over the age of 21 but the captain reserves the right to cancel the trip at any time if he feels someone become too intoxicated and a danger to themselves or anyone else on the boat.

A charter will be cancelled immediately if illegal drugs are brought on the boat. Cancellations due to drugs or alcohol will not be refunded.

If you are concerned about being sea sick then make sure to take motion sickness medicine per the directions. If you do not follow the directions the medicine may have no effect. A hangover may also cause sea sickness.

Cancellation Policy

All cancellations must be made 7 days before the scheduled trip to receive a refund on your deposit. If the cancellation is less than 7 days you will not receive a refund for your deposit.

The captain has the right to cancel a trip at any time for severe weather or mechanical failure. If the trip is canceled before it leaves the dock the trip will be fully refunded if arrangements for another day cannot be made.
