Booking Your Trip:
A reservation will be secured once a deposit has been received, and your trip has been confirmed.
To confirm all bookings, a 20% deposit is required.
Full payment is expected before your departure.
*We accept payment in cash, Zelle, Cash App, or Venmo. Please note that when paying with a credit card, a 4% surcharge applies.
Cancelation Policy
*Deposits are fully refundable if cancellations are made at least 2 weeks prior to the scheduled trip. If the Captain determines that the weather conditions are unsafe, the trip can be rescheduled for another day. Alternatively, the client may choose to fish inshore.
*Please note that cancellations made by clients for tournament or multi-boat trips are not eligible for a refund of the deposit.
*If a customer requests to return to the dock meeting location from a fishing trip for any reason and later wishes to return to the fishing spot, there will be a fuel fee of $50-$100, and no extra time will be added to the trip. Alternatively, you may choose to engage in inshore fishing, enjoy a swim at the sandbar, or cruise the bay waters at no additional charge for the remaining time of your trip.
We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, preventing you from making it to your reservation. Our management team will review each cancellation case on an individual basis and always strive to reschedule a trip rather than retaining your deposit.
We are also taxidermy agents. If you have an interest in having your trophy catch stuffed, please let us know in advance.
For your convenience, we offer catering packages at a cost of $150.
These packages include: 1 case of water, 1 platter of cut Deli Subs (serves 10), 1 pack of sodas, and assorted chips.
Charter Pre-Checklist
Rest and Hydration: Ensure you get a good night’s rest before your trip and stay well-hydrated the day before departure.
Motion Sickness Medication: If you have concerns about seasickness, take a motion sickness pill the night before your trip and again an hour before departure. Note that the medication may not be effective if taken while on the boat.
Clothes to consider wearing:
- Comfortable Shirt and Pants: Wear lightweight, breathable clothing that provides sun protection. Long-sleeved shirts and pants can help protect against the sun’s rays.
- Hat: A wide-brimmed hat or a cap with a visor can shield your face from the sun.
- Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen generously to exposed skin, especially areas like the face, neck, arms, and legs.
- Sunglasses: Wear polarized sunglasses to reduce glare from the water. They can also protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and injury.
- Footwear: Choose non-slip, closed-toe shoes with good grip to prevent slipping on a wet deck.
- Rain Jacket: Bring a lightweight, waterproof rain jacket in case of unexpected rain or spray.
- Layers: Consider dressing in layers so you can adjust your clothing as the weather changes throughout the day.
- Gloves: Fishing gloves can provide protection from the sun and help with handling fish.
- Swimsuit: If you plan to swim
- Extra Clothes: Pack a change of clothes in case you get wet or need a fresh outfit for the ride back.
Items to consider bringing:
- Substantial Snacks: Opt for substantial snacks rather than chips. Consider items like granola bars, trail mix, fruit, sandwiches, or protein bars. These snacks provide sustained energy and keep you feeling satisfied during your fishing excursion. Having substantial snacks on board can help maintain your energy levels throughout the day, ensuring you’re ready for a successful fishing experience.
- Sandwiches in Sealed Containers: Pack sandwiches in sealed bags or containers. This ensures that your sandwiches stay fresh, protected, and ready to enjoy during your fishing adventure.
- Bring Drinks and Water (No Glass Allowed)
