Q.
Can we bring children?
A. Yes.
Q.
What are the age restrictions on children?
A. On straight
fishing trips, the age limit is 6 and up. If you have children
below age 6 and the group wants to fish, we offer only the
combination trips, (fishing, shelling, dolphin watching),
for that age group. Children ages 6-8 need to have an adult
assigned to them and team fishing with them. All other trips
other than fishing, any age children or infants are fine.
Q.
How many people can we have per boat?
A. Six people
maximum per boat. "Although on fishing charters 4 people
max is optimum for customer comfort, but not mandatory".

You may book us for a morning trip and an
afternoon trip on the same day. We will switch out your parties
at lunch time after the first trip is complete.

What kinds of fish can we expect to catch?
A. It depends
on the time of year. You can catch snapper, grouper, and
spanish mackerel year round. Sharks and barracuda are summertime
favorites. Other fish would include king mackerel, cobia,
permit, Jew fish, sheepshead, lady fish, jacks, snook, redfish,
black drum and trout.

What do we do if it is raining on the day of our charter?

where you are staying but not at our dock or not out to
the area we are going fishing. We do have rain gear for
everyone on board if needed. Many times it will be a brief
passing shower and will not affect us. We may cancel, switch
to a different day or time, or issue a rain check. Safety
will be the priority.

What type of weather does your climate have?
A. It is the
"dry season" typically November-April. We get

It is our "rainy season" which means typically
it will rain somewhere in the Naples area each day but usually
for an hour or so sometime between the hours of 3-7 PM.

In the months of November-April,
you should wear long pants and dress in layers such as a
T-shirt with a long sleeve shirt and a jacket or sweater.
A cap or hat is also good protection from the sun.
It usually feels about 10 degrees cooler on the water than
on land. Mornings will be cooler than afternoons.
In the months of May-October you should
wear shorts with a T-shirt, (preferably a white T-shirt)
and a cap or hat.
