All charter boat trips are for up to 6 passengers. Even though we are licensed to carry 6 people,  The charters who take only 4 people are rewarded with a much higher percentage of landing a trophy fish and have a more exciting sportfishing trip. Everything is provided for your sportfishing experience except food and drinks. (It's ok to bring enough food for the Captain & Mate). The Captain is the only one who has the right to cancel at any time, due to weather and other circumstances.


TIPPING As in most service businesses, tipping is appriciated. The Mate or Captains reward for their day of work is what you feel they deserve in a tip. If you have made a decision not to take a mate, remember the Captain must work much harder and put in additional hours doing the mates job to make your day a success. He also has the added cost of paying a boat cleaner after your trip and appriciates any tips to help with the extra expense. The average tip is 15% to 20% of the cost of the trip. If you do not feel the Captain or Mate deserves a tip please let the Captain know about your disappointments. JUST REMEMBER, fish don't bite all the time but we try all the time.
