•  Selecting the best fishing charter for your desires can often be a challenge, as we have learned over the years. There are a number of factors to take into consideration, and you should prior to making any reservation.
  • What size boat and how many people do you want to fish with? 6, 12, 24?
  • How many people can the boat seat inside, and how many people will be on the boat? On bad weather days this can become the most important issue.
  • Does the boat have a private indoor head (bathroom); if not what are the facilities?
  • What is the policy if you are unable to fish for the species you selected?
  • What is the policy if the charter is cancelled or cut short due to weather?
  • How experienced and familiar are the Captain & crew in these waters ?
