You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated.

The boat will be supplied with snacks, and drinks for your pleasure, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.
