IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• We supply all of the rods, reels and tackle needed for the fish we are targeting.

• Dress appropriately for the seasonal weather. Bring sunglasses and sunscreen, even in the colder months. Bring either your phone or a camera to take pictures during the trip.

• You should bring a cooler with the food and drink for the day.

• We ask that you and your party consolidate the coolers you bring on the boat. You may want to have a separate cooler that you leave in your vehicle to take the fish home.

• The Marina will have ice for sale

• We have all the needed safety equipment (life preservers, fire extinguishers, vhf radios, etc.) Regulations require that children 13 years of age and younger wear a life vest when on the boat. If you plan to have children in this age range, you may want to bring them a comfortable life vest (ski vest type) to wear on the boat. We have the orange children’s life preservers on the boat but they can be a bit uncomfortable and hot in the summer months.

• The rate for our fishing trips is $1000.00 per day.

• We require a $250.00 deposit if the trip is booked more than two weeks in advance

• A portion of the $1000.00 will go to the mate, although we encourage you tip them a bit more if you feel you’ve had a good day. Possibly $15 to $20 extra per person if there are 6 people in your party.

On average, our cruises run $450.00 for an evening in which we carry you to the waterfront restaurant of your choice or if a sunset trip is your choice. This equates to a 3 to 4 hour duration of your dining and the cruise.
