Q 4. Do I need a fishing license?

No — passengers on a licensed charter like ours are exempt from purchasing individual fishing licenses, so you’re covered on board.

Depending on season and location, you might catch snook, redfish, sea trout, sheepshead, snapper, tarpon, and more. Your captain will tailor the trip to what’s biting.

Q 10. Do you offer sightseeing or shelling trips?

Yes! We offer private shelling & sightseeing tours where you can visit secluded beaches, collect shells, and enjoy wildlife like dolphins and coastal birds — even without fishing.

Q 11. What is your cancellation policy?

A deposit is required to secure your trip date, and we offer flexible cancellation/rescheduling options — contact us directly for details.
