Two different boats
Miss Hayden is a 29-foot aluminum offshore boat with twin 300-horsepower Yamaha engines and a large hardtop. Iron Maiden is a 23-foot shallow-draft bay boat with overhead shade. Both list a maximum of six passengers. The operator cautions that fishing more than three rods at once in the bay can be difficult.
Inshore and offshore prices
Bay fishing starts at $600 for four hours, $800 for six and $1,000 for eight, covering one to four passengers. Each additional fishing passenger adds $100. Offshore rates include $1,350 for six hours, $1,800 for eight and $2,700 for twelve. Fifth and sixth offshore passengers add $300 each. Some specialist trips have a lower passenger limit.
Supplies and planning
Fishing equipment, bait, license coverage, ice and fish cleaning are included. Food and drinks are not supplied. Bring your refreshments and use lotion sunscreen; sprays are not permitted aboard. Explain whether you want fishing only or a mixed day, since sightseeing and island stops reduce fishing time.
Booking terms
The published $200 deposit becomes non-refundable within 48 hours but can be moved under the stated rescheduling policy. Captain cancellations before departure receive a refund. Minimum charges apply once a trip leaves the dock, including early returns. Online or card payments add a listed 3.5% fee. Confirm the boat, pickup and complete terms when reserving.
