Do you guarantee that we will catch fish?


No, however I do guarantee that the boat that I put you on has proven over time that they are qualified professionals and that they will give you the best opportunity to catch what you are going for.

How big are the boats?

Our boats range from 31' to 51' , most over 40'. Please keep in mind that the guy with the biggest boat doesn't necessarily mean he catches the most fish. That's why we can weigh the right balance of boat and experience.

How many people can go?

Almost all of the boats are capable of taking up to 6 people. If you need to bring more than 6 please contact us, there are 5 boats that can handle more.

Which sharks are edible?

Makos, Threshers and I've seen people take brown sharks for eating. We encourage releasing anything that is not going to be consumed. Blue Sharks especially!!

What time do you leave the dock?

Offshore trips leave the dock at approx. 5 A.M. Check with the captain a few days before your trip for confirmation. Please keep in mind that a full day offshore going more than 30 miles, will require additional fuel surcharge.

Full days inshore leave between 5:30 and 6 A.M. 1/2 day trips leave at 6 A.M. and 12 P.M.

What do I need to bring?

You only need to bring what you are going to eat and drink, plus boots and foul weather gear, especially in the spring and fall. For your convenience we can arrange to have food and beverages brought to the dock for your trip.
