What trip should I choose?

on the water with friends and family to catch fish, but not be out there all day. This trip allows scouting out
local and offshore waters in search of the big catch! - 8 hr Trip – For fisherman that love to fish and can never get enough of it. This trip allows for the fisherman to put some serious time in hunting down those trophy’s. More fish and bigger
fish come with this trip. - Open Boat – For fisherman that want to join others to fish on any given day.

Weather and cancellation policy
Fishing is a weather-dependent activity and all weather conditions will be considered for the
scheduled trip that day. Your captain will be closely watching the weather forecast as your trip
approaches. Wind, waves, rain and lightning can make your trip too dangerous and not productive fish
catching days. Weather changes rapidly and in order to get the most accurate report, sometimes a
decision is not made until the night before or even the morning of your trip. Evening trips will be decided earlier that same
day. Captain makes the final decision on trip departure. If weather conditions turn for the worse and your trip has to return early, compensation for the time lost will be given.Any trip cancelled by CAPTAIN due to weather or mechanical reasons will be rescheduled, no refunds applied In general, there are Two Trips Daily, morning and afternoon. Fishing is best when you fish the tides, when the water is moving and with this
understanding your trip will be planned. Your captain will find the best times to fish by using local tide charts and also considering wind direction and velocity. Your captain will advise you and together will agree upon a time to start the trip.
