Our crews are there to help you catch fish. They will always select the most likely or productive areas to catch the species you desire. They are also very knowledgeable in choosing lures and in rigging. Please have confidence in them. Their only desire is to please you and connect-up as often as possible with fish.

IMPORTANT: if you want to help set lines and set your own hook, let the Captain and Mate know, otherwise the mate will do this for you.

Tips
It is customary to tip the crew 20% however if you feel they did an exceptionally good job you might consider tipping them more. The Captain and mate work for tips only to assure you they try their hardest.

Mounts
If you catch a fish which you would like to have mounted, the captain can give you all the necessary information and will make arrangements with the taxidermist. You may release your fish and still have it mounted. Catch and release mounts are common today and are recommended.

Fish
The fish you catch (excluding billfish and shark) belong to you. The first mate will be happy to fillet them for you if they are edible. Any unwanted fish are always greatly appreciated by the crew.

Toilet Facilities
Our boats are equipped with marine toilets (heads) which have valve systems that cannot handle cotton or other undigested materials, as they will clog the system. Please be extremely careful about what you throw in the head.

Attire
As conditions can change on the water, you should bring with you: some long clothes to protect yourself from the sun and a jacket in case it gets cool (mainly fall and winter season). Hard-soled, leather, flip-flops and high-heeled shoes are slippery and dangerous. A soft rubber-soled shoe is recommended. Polarized sunglasses and a hat or visor are also recommended.

Suntan Lotion
Tanning oils and other oil-based lotions are not allowed on the boats. They stain the fighting chair and couch cushions and make the deck slippery. They also contaminate the reels, line and rod grips and make them difficult to hold. there are many water-based sun screens and blocks that provide excellent protection without the mess.
