Contact and booking details

Mark Dravo and the lagoon

The operator describes Mark as a guide with more than 40 years of experience on local waters. His service concentrates on private charters rather than shared party-boat tickets. That gives the group an opportunity to discuss its interests directly with the guide.

Snook, redfish and spotted seatrout are central to the advertised fishing. The website also names pompano, with tarpon, permit and cobia appearing in its seasonal descriptions. Ask what is present when you plan to visit, since a species list describes possibilities across the year.

Half-day pricing and group size

The published half-day rate is $500 for two people. Each additional angler costs $50, with a maximum of four. On that basis, the displayed pricing would be $550 for three anglers or $600 for four, before any separately agreed expenses.

The reviewed booking information does not define the half day in clock hours. Confirm the duration, start time and passenger count with Mark. Include anyone coming along to watch or help a child, even if they do not plan to fish.

Gear and the day's setup

Y-B Normal provides fishing gear, tackle and bait. A cooler with ice is available for guests' drinks and snacks. The trip's inshore focus gives anglers a different experience from a long offshore run, with attention on the lagoon and its fish.

Bring what you want to eat and drink, along with sun protection and comfortable clothing. Discuss license coverage, cleaning retained fish, seating, shade and any personal tackle before arrival. The reviewed pages do not specify every inclusion or boat feature.

Contacting the captain

The website offers a callback request as well as direct phone and email contacts. It lists contact hours seven days a week from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Send your preferred date, number of passengers and fishing interests so Mark can respond with the right arrangement.

Get the exact ramp or dock, check-in instructions and weather plan before leaving for the trip. Ask about the deposit and cancellation deadline when accepting a quote. Those terms are not set out in the reviewed booking text.
