Shared and private choices
The standard party-boat offering lists a maximum of 40 passengers and trips of five, six or eight hours. The operator describes travel about 20–30 miles offshore and species such as vermilion snapper, red snapper, triggerfish and grouper, depending on the trip and season.
The shared-group option limits bookings to 20 passengers and advertises five-, six-, eight- or ten-hour trips with more offshore fishing possibilities. A private charter reserves the vessel for your party and requires a tailored quote. Confirm the precise itinerary and passenger limit for the chosen product.
Onboard amenities and inclusions
The FAQ confirms an air-conditioned cabin and restrooms. Rods, reels, bait and tackle are supplied, and fish cleaning is included without an extra charge. The crew does not pack fish for travel, although the operator notes that local businesses offer that service separately.
Guests may bring their own fishing gear, but braided line is prohibited. Alcohol is permitted without glass containers. Ask about fishing-license coverage, food and cooler arrangements when reserving, and expect limited mobile reception offshore.
Ages, access and timing
The minimum passenger age is six. The operator says there is no wheelchair ramp, although it has assisted wheelchair users before; discuss any boarding requirements directly before booking.
The FAQ estimates about an hour and a half to the first fishing spot, varying with sea conditions. Check-in is listed as 30 minutes before departure, with extra time advised for afternoon parking. The website quotes a $20 HarborWalk parking fee; verify the current charge on arrival.
Reservations and cancellation
Trips must be booked ahead, online or by phone. The site says it no longer operates a ticket booth, although another FAQ line still mentions checking in at a booth. Use your confirmation and contact the crew for the current meeting procedure at Slip 40 behind Margaritaville.
The FAQ permits cancellation or rescheduling with at least 24 hours' notice. If the operator cancels for weather, safety or mechanical reasons, it offers a refund or reschedule. Current fares are available through booking; compare the standard and limited-load shared options before purchasing.
