What
is included with my fishing charter?
Full
or half day fishing charters include all bait, tackle and ice.
The captain and crew will provide everything needed to catch
fish.
|
How
many people can go on the fishing charter?
Our
charter boat is licensed to take up to a maximum of six
chartered passengers plus the captain and crew.
|
What
time does the boat leave?
Typically on a
full day fishing charter we leave at 7:00 a.m. and on a
half-day fishing charter we leave at 7:30 a.m. However, we can
make special arrangements in advance to accommodate your
schedule. Please check with the captain 48 hours prior to the
day of your charter.
|
What
do I need to bring for the charter?
All you need to
supply is your own food and beverages while on board, your own
sunscreen and sunglasses and any sea sick medications if you
feel you may need it. We have plenty of cold storage and ice
chests to store your food and drinks.
|
Is
there a bathroom on board?
Yes.
We have a comfortable and clean bathroom on the boat.
|
Can I
keep the fish I catch?
Yes.
Although we encourage the tagging and release of all blue
marlin and other billfish species, you make the final decision
to kill or release any fish.
|
Can I
take my fish home with me?
Yes.
We can make arrangements for you to have your fish processed
and stored for the balance of your trip and then shipped to
your final destination or packaged for you to take home on
your return flight. We can also arrange for your fish to be
processed if you would like to have it prepared at your home
or condominium or by a local restaurant.
|
What
if I want to have my fish mounted?
Most
saltwater species of fish, including blue marlin, are not
mounted using the skin of the fish. The mounts are made of a
fiberglass replica mold and the size is determined by
measurements taken from the fish. Your fish may be mounted by
either taking measurements of the fish at the time of the
catch, and then releasing your fish, or by taking the
measurements on the dock. We can refer you to several quality
taxidermists who can then create your mount. Be sure and let
the captain know of your intentions in advance of catching
your fish so he can take the appropriate actions in tagging
and releasing any blue marlin or other billfish.
|
What
about tipping?
We are in the
service business and our goal is to exceed our client's
expectations. If you feel your captain and crew has done a
good job for you on your fishing charter, tipping is always
appreciated.
