For Guests
Do I need previous fishing experience?+
Not at all. Many of our charters are designed for complete beginners. Our captains are experienced in teaching all skill levels. When searching, use the 'Family Fishing' or 'Bottom Fishing' filters to find beginner-friendly options.
What fishing equipment is provided?+
All charters include the essential fishing equipment — rods, reels, lures, and bait. Specialist equipment (e.g., fly fishing gear, jigging rods) is specified in each charter listing. You're welcome to bring your own equipment if you prefer.
How do I pay for a charter?+
Payment is handled directly between you and the captain — typically a deposit to confirm, with the balance due on the day of the trip. We do not process payments and take no commission.
What happens if the weather is bad?+
The captain will assess conditions on the morning of the trip. If it's unsafe to fish, most captains offer a free reschedule or full refund. Always confirm the cancellation policy when making your inquiry.
Can I bring non-fishing guests?+
Yes, in most cases. Confirm with the captain when booking — most boats are happy to accommodate passengers who want to enjoy the experience without fishing.
What should I bring on the trip?+
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, UV clothing), light comfortable clothing, seasickness medication if required, a camera, water, and snacks. Most charters provide light refreshments.

Bookings & Payments

You send an inquiry through our platform. The captain reviews and responds, usually within a few hours. You agree on the details, and the captain confirms your booking.
