How to Book Your Fishing Trip

How to Book a Fishing Trip

Contact our office for current available fishing dates. We encourage you to do this as soon as possible as certain times of the year result in larger volumes of inquiries. Once we have established a date that works for you and your party, you need to submit a deposit of $100.00 per fishing day, within 7 days (personal checks or money orders accepted). Note: special charter packages may require additional lodging deposits.

Upon receipt of your deposit, you will receive a confirmation of your trip. Your fishing date(s) will be entered into our master schedule. The remaining balance will be due prior to departure from the dock the day of your fishing trip.

Booking and Deposit Procedures – New Customers:

To be a fair as possible, we operate bookings and scheduled on a first come - first served basis. We accept verbal bookings: at which time we tentatively schedule your trip. You must then forward a $100.00 (per fishing day) deposit to our office. Please note that in many cases, especially for schedules of prime season dates, several parties may verbally commit for the same specific dates (especially weekends), in these cases, the booking goes to the party that we received the deposit from first. The option of other trip schedules or one of our other boats and captains will be offered to the remaining parties who applied for the same dates.

Upon receipt of your deposit, you will receive a confirmation of the receipt and your fishing schedule booking. Your trip will then be locked in our Master Schedule. The deposit will be deducted from your fee the date of your fishing trip.

Booking and Deposit Procedures - Returning Customers:

The majority of our repeat or returning customers book their trips verbally for the following season as they leave the boat each year. This practice insures their trip schedules for the following season. Each year on February 1 deposit invoices will be forwarded for the upcoming season, your deposit must be received prior to February 28 each year for your booking and schedule. Any deposit not received prior to February 28, will be considered as open dates and will be offered to new customers.

When you book your trip each year you are booking the fishing schedule with that captain, on that particular boat, for the next season, unless you specify otherwise. We mix and match captains and boats, only in the case of emergencies and you will be notified in advance of that particular schedule change and details. Examples of this situation would be: repairs for the scheduled boat or illness of your particular captain.

Cancellation Procedures

Please understand that deposits in the case of no-shows are non-refundable, as we have fixed cost and expenses prior to the boats leaving the docks.

Cancellations called in 3 weeks prior to your schedule are accepted and we will either reschedule your trip for an acceptable open fishing date or will return your deposit.

Weather cancellations: Your safety and comfort are our major concern. The Captain of your boat has the sole discretion to cancel any trip he feels is a safety concern due to weather, wind, or waves. You will then be offered another schedule or your deposit refunded.
