Commonly Asked Questions
|
| How
many people can we bring on the boat?
|
|
Up to 6.
The price is the same whether it is 2 or 6. It doesn’t matter. The boat is
available for your party alone. |
What is the cost?
|
|
We charge
$550 for a 4 hour trip, $750 for 6 hours and $1,000 for a 8 hour offshore
trip. With our short run to the fishing grounds, any of these leave plenty
of time for “catchin”. |
What is the boat?
|
|
She is a
customized 46 ft. Hatteras Sportfisherman. The salon is spacious with two
sofas and carpeting. The galley area has parquet flooring, a fridge and
microwave oven. Electronics are Furuno and Northstar for depth, radar and
GPS systems. ALL Coast Guard required safety equipment as well as ship to
shore VHF radio |
When do we leave?
|
|
We have 2 standard departure times for ½ day trips. 8:00 AM and
1:00 PM
¾ day trips (6 hours) leave at 7:00am and 1:00 pm
All day
trips (8hours) leave at 7:00 or 8:00 am. |
When time is best to leave?
|
|
We have
found that it is not necessarily better fishing in the morning. Fishing
conditions here tend to be more reliant on wind, current, water clarity and
moon phases. Departure times are more up to you. Because many of our
clients are vacationers, we are available for both morning and afternoon
trips. |
What is the difference between the basic trip and the all-inclusive?
|
|
The basic price includes: rental of the boat (including fuel,
tackle, dead bait) and the crew along with cleaning of your fish after the
trip, as well as all licenses and permits required for fishing of the
Florida coast.
The All-Inclusive trip includes a live bait purchase and food and
drink you have ordered. Live bait is $75 per doz. We prefer to make
arrangements for bait the night before, sometimes limited availability is a
problem. There are times we do not recommend the purchase of live bait.
Besides, taking a few minutes to catch it ourselves can be fun.
The
All-Inclusive package also includes your food and drinks. While we are happy
to provide this service, we also understand there are times you wish to
choose yourself. We can recommend deli’s and markets in the area, or the
Deli right at Bahia Mar can service these needs prior to your trip. |
How far offshore do you fish?
|
|
Most of
the fish we catch here are relatively close to shore. Most times of the
year we are fishing well inside of 2 miles from shore in 100-200 feet of
water. This is at the outer edge of our 3rd reef system which acts as a
magnet for large game fish. 90% of our fish are caught well within sight of
land… no long ride to the fishing grounds. |
Can you accommodate larger groups?
|
|
Yes. We
have sister boats who are very experienced and a pleasure to fish with. We
run many multiple boat charters for private groups as well as corporations.
It is not a problem to arrange the all-inclusive trip for up to 20
boats…that’s up to 120 people! No job is too large for us. We’ll get boats
from Miami if we have to! |
What if
we are already reserved on the only day you can fish?
|
|
If that
is the case, let us take care of the details for you. We can book you on
our sister ship or a similar quality of boat along with directions and
everything. |
Do you have gift certificates?
|
Yes.
Birthday presents are especially popular. If you wish to purchase a trip
for someone else, just choose which package you’d like to give. We then
charge your credit card and mail out a letter informing the person of your
gift and allowing them up to 6-months to redeem the present. Please call
for further details.
