FAQS: What to Know Before You Go

Do I need to buy my own fishing license?

No, you do not need to purchase a recreational saltwater fishing license. All of our passengers are fully covered under our master FWC charter captain and vessel licenses. Just step on board and you are ready to fish.

Do we get to keep what we catch, and will you clean it?

Yes! As long as the fish are in season and within legal size limits, you are welcome to keep your catch. Once we return to the dock, your captain will fillet and bag your fish for you so it is ready for the frying pan or to take to a local “cook your catch” restaurant.

What is provided and what do I need to bring?

We provide all the necessary fishing gear, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait, as well as a cooler with ice and water. You should bring sun protection (polarized sunglasses, a hat, and reef-safe sunscreen), comfortable non-slip shoes, and any specific snacks, drinks, or alcohol you would like for the day.

Are these trips good for kids and beginners?

Absolutely. We specialize in making fishing fun for all ages and skill levels. Whether you are a seasoned angler or it is your child’s first time holding a rod, our captains are patient, helpful, and will teach you everything you need to know to catch fish.
