Frequently Asked Questions
What is provided?
We provide the boat, ice, water, fuel, bait, licenses, fishing tackle, safety equipment, fish cleaning and local fishing expertise. There’s even a nice stereo onboard and you get pick the tunes!
What do we need to bring?
Please bring your preferred beverage, snacks/meal and sunscreen (lotions are preferred). I also recommend polarized sunglasses, hats and maybe a rain coat. If you’re prone to motion sickness (or just aren’t sure), consider getting and taking medication BEFORE you get on the boat. Sturdy shoes or boots made for fishing are best, but sandals/flip-flops are ok.
If we pre-plan for swimming or snorkeling, don’t forget your bathing suit, towels and snorkel gear.
What kind of fishing do you offer?
We want you to have a great time, so we build our trips around you, the conditions and the season. There‘s so much Key West offers, we can have a blast almost anytime. Let’s get to know each other and find out what will be best.
Why a private charter?
Head/Party boats are great fun! They offer lower fares, paid per person. Sharing a charter, also known as a “split”, can be a wonderful, experience too. But on both of these trips, you’re subject to the wishes of your fellow guests. Having the boat to yourselves gives you flexibility on departure and return times. You can choose your adventure. Best of all, you’ll be going with people you know, so you probably enjoy their company!
