Published starting fares
A three-hour shark trip is listed from $499. A four-hour child-focused trip starts at $700. Several four-hour tarpon, shark and grouper options start at $799, while six-hour specialty outings start at $999. Confirm the final quote and selected duration.
Included and to bring
The business advertises tackle, bait and fishing licenses. Ask about water, ice, food, extra drinks and catch cleaning. The fishing plan should reflect your group’s experience, especially when choosing a trip aimed at large fish.
Planning and policies
Some listings advertise free cancellation at least three days ahead. Confirm the terms for your actual reservation and ask what happens if weather changes the outing. Request the dock and arrival time. Discuss any interest in keeping fish before departure so the captain can explain the trip’s approach.
