Fishing Trip FAQs

A private full day charter for just your group: up to 6 hours of fishing (about 8 hours with travel, depending on where you are coming from), your boat and captain, all rods, tackle, bait and lures, Coast Guard approved life jackets, bottled water and ice, fish cleaned and bagged with ice if you want to keep them, and expert instruction and local knowledge.

Pricing is per boat, not per person, and every trip is a private charter for just your group. A full day is $1,050 for 1 to 2 anglers, $1,225 for 3 anglers and $1,400 for 4 anglers, which is the maximum per boat.

A full day is up to 6 hours of fishing time. With travel, plan for about 8 hours, depending on where you are coming from.
