Contact and booking details

Boat and group size

Shake N’ Bait is a custom 44-foot Cavalier. The cockpit includes a tackle station, bait freezer, livewells and fish boxes. The private charter carries up to six total guests. Confirm cabin amenities and any child or mobility needs before booking.

Trip choices

Four-, six- and eight-hour options are advertised, along with a ten-hour extended trip. Possible targets include mahi mahi, sailfish, swordfish, tuna, wahoo, snapper and other reef or offshore fish. Discuss the route and realistic targets for your date.

Included services

Rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing-license coverage, ice for fish and a drink cooler are supplied. The captain or mate cleans legal retained fish at the dock. Bring food, drinks and sun protection. The advertised charter price is for the whole private boat, not each person.

Booking and weather

Call for current pricing, the deposit and departure instructions. The captain decides whether weather requires cancellation. The posted FAQ offers a deposit refund or rescheduling when that happens. Ask for customer cancellation deadlines and any gratuity or special-trip extras.

Details checked September 29, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
