We answer the most common questions we get here but sometimes our guests want to know more. If you have any other questions about your upcoming trip, or about booking a trip, please contact us below.

- Food and Drinks (especially water)
- Sunscreen
- Hat
- Sunglasses (preferably polarized)
- Seasickness medicine, pain reliever
- Camera

- Ice
- Fishing license for everyone

HOW CAN I AVOID GETTING SEASICK?
To avoid seasickness be good to yourself! A good night’s sleep and healthy diet will help a lot. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink the night before and the day of the charter. There are many products available over the counter throughout the Florida Keys to help with your possible seasickness. Take as directed prior to your trip.
WHAT ABOUT TIPPING?
The standard tip for a Captain and crew is 15-20 % of the total fare.
IF WE FLY IN AND CATCH A LOT OF FISH IS THERE A WAY FOR US TO BRING IT HOME?
Sending your catch home can be done by the fish houses throughout the Florida Keys. The Captains here in the Florida Keys are very mindful of the overfishing that can occur by loading the freezer. In our experience frozen fish is a serious let down in flavor. Freeze at your own risk!
CAN WE BRING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ON THE BOAT?
Alcohol is permitted in reasonable amounts but be careful – the Florida sun will just about double the effect out on the water.
CAN I BRING MY OWN EQUIPMENT?
You are welcome to bring any rods or reels that you love from home but our boat gear is well suited for our target species on your trip.
