How Booking Works
How do I reserve a date?
To reserve your trip date, we require a $500 deposit. The deposit saves your date on our calendar. The remaining balance is due the day of your trip.
Do I have to know exactly how many people are coming when I book?
Nope — that’s not a problem at all. You do not need a final headcount when booking. We’ll do a headcount on the day of the trip and adjust the final balance accordingly.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing is per trip, not per person, and includes up to 10 passengers.
Additional passengers are charged at a per-person rate depending on the trip length. We can carry up to 23 passengers total.
What’s included in the price?
Your trip includes:
- All bait, tackle, rods, reels, and fishing licenses
- Captain and experienced deckhand
- Fish cleaning after the trip
- Assistance for anglers of all experience levels
The only thing not included is the deckhand gratuity, which is typically around 20%, assuming great service.
