Before you book
A few things before we leave the dock.
What to bring, what’s included, and who can come aboard. If there’s something else on your mind, call Richard. He’s happy to talk it through.
- What does the price include?
- Rods, reels, terminal tackle and lures, bait, ice, your Florida saltwater fishing licence, and a first mate. Your catch is cleaned and filleted at the dock before you leave. You keep it.
- Is it per person or for the boat?
- For the boat. One price covers up to 6 people, so a group of six pays the same as a couple — which is why most people bring the whole family.
- What about live bait?
- Live bait is an additional $120 when the day calls for it. Richard will tell you honestly whether it is worth it for the trip you have booked.
- Are kids and beginners welcome?
- Absolutely. You don’t need your own gear or any fishing experience. We’ll show you what to do and help you along the way. Bring your questions — that’s part of having a crew.
- What should I bring?
- A hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, soft-soled shoes, and whatever you’d like to eat and drink. We’ve got the fishing gear and ice covered.
- Can we go out without fishing?
- Yes. The sunset cruise is bookable online, and bay tours and dinner cruises are arranged by phone. Same boat, same crew, no rods.
