Common Charter Questions

Is a deposit required?

A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking to reserve your trip.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations made at least 2 weeks prior to your trip date will receive a full refund of the deposit. Cancellations made within 2 weeks of the trip date will result in the 50% deposit being forfeited.

How do we pay the balance?

The remaining balance can be paid on the day of your charter either by cash/check directly to the captain or by credit card in the Ships Store.

What should we bring?

You’ll have a full day on the water, so bring all the things you’ll need! This can include food, drinks, towels, sunscreen, etc. Alcohol is allowed on board, just bring your own cooler! All bait and tackle will be provided for you.

Does the price cover the entire boat, and how many people can you bring?

The total trip price covers the entire boat for the day and includes up to 6 guests. A fuel surcharge may apply.

Do I need a fishing license?

A blanket fishing license is included with your trip and covers everyone on board.

Is it customary to tip the mate?

A 20% tip to the mate is complementary!

Do we keep the fish we catch?

All fish caught during your trip are yours to keep! We also offer an on-site fish cleaning service for an additional fee, where your catch will be professionally cleaned and bagged for you to take home.

What will we fish for?

Our goal is to get you on whatever is biting, and it may depend on time of year. If you have a preference of a target species, let Captain J.T. know, and he will see what he can do to make it happen!

What happens if the weather looks bad or we need to cancel?

The captain will always make the final weather call to ensure everyone’s safety. If weather conditions are unfavorable, we will do our best to reschedule your trip. If a cancellation is necessary, your 50% deposit will be fully refunded.

Are lifejackets available?

Life jackets are provided on board and are readily available for use in the event of an emergency.
