Q: Is it better to fish at 7am or 9am?
A: Statistically there probably isn’t much difference. Personally, I prefer the earlier trip and get back earlier. You are a tourist and there probably isn’t going to matter if you want to wait until 9am.
Q: How are afternoon trips as far as fishing goes?
A: Truth is I tell people if you want to know about Monday you should ask me on Tuesday! That’s a joke but truth is it can vary from one day to the next.
Q: Can I keep my fish?
A: Yes, in fact our crews will clean it for you. We suggest taking it to one of the restaurants here at the Marina. They will cook it up for you for easy money and it’s a great experience.
Q: Do you provide transportation to the Marina?
A: Unfortunately, we don’t have vehicles just boats. Most people use our local taxi services. They are clean and dependable. Your hotel can have one waiting for you or you can find popular taxi services on Facebook. Renting a car is also a viable option and not as scary as some people think.
Q: Can children fish?
A: Absolutely. I’v e seen ten year olds reel in Saillfish. We don’t recommend toddlers. The child should be old enough to stand on his own and able to hold on if a wave hits.
Q: What about tips?
A: Tips are expected and generally run around 20% of the total boat cost. Our crews work hard and this is an integral part of their income.
Q: Are these private boats?
A: Yes. It will just be your and your guests. We do not put groups together but you are welcome to do it yourself. It isn’t uncommon to find prospective anglers amongst the other tourists you may meet? We do not do shared trips. Difficult to make everyone happy.
Q: How many people can go on one boat?
A: 32’ Blackfin – 6 persons, 35’ Cabo – 6 persons, 38’ Luhrs – 8 persons, 38’ Bertram = 10 persons, 40’ Luhrs – 10 persons, 45’ Viking – 10 persons, 46’ Bertram – 12 persons, 53’ Hatteras – 16 persons.
Q: Which boat has the best crews?
A: All of our crew members are highly skilled at their jobs. We pay top wages which allows us to pick the cream of the crop.
Q: Is beer provided? No beer is not included but is available for $20.00 per 12 pack. You are welcome to bring your own but we request that you bring cans for safety reasons.
Q: What if someone gets seasick?
A: We are generally close enough to bring them back to the dock. We can go back out as long as there are at least two hours left on the tour.
Q: Can I smoke on board?
A: You cannot smoke in the cabin. You are welcome to smoke in the cockpit. Please don’t burn our boats!
