Charter Questions
Q: How long are the charters?
We offer standard 4 and 6 hour offshore trips. Custom multi-day excursions are also available upon request for those seeking a longer adventure.
Q: What is included in the price?
Your charter covers fuel, fishing licenses, tackle, bait, and ice. We also provide professional fish cleaning and bagging at the end of the trip.
Q: What should I bring with me?
Bring sunscreen (non-spray), polarized sunglasses, a hat, and whatever food or drinks you'd like. We recommend comfortable, non-slip footwear for safety on deck.
Q: What happens in bad weather?
Safety is our priority. If weather conditions are unsafe, the Captain will make a call to reschedule or provide a full refund. We monitor marine forecasts closely.
Q: What is the maximum group size?
Our standard offshore charters comfortably accommodate up to 4 guests. We can accommodate up to 6 for $50 per extra person, but it gets a little tight on the boat with that many passengers.
Q: Does pricing include gratuity?
Pricing strictly covers trip costs. A standard gratuity of 15-20% for the captain is customary and greatly appreciated for all their hard work and preparation.
