There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

The boat covers your fishing license. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen .  Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.
