Important Notes

A few things to read before you book so there are no surprises on the dock.

Passengers & Additional Guests

The price you see is the base rate for 1 person. Each additional person in your group (2nd, 3rd, 4th) is charged on top of that: +$100/person on most trips, +$110/person on Full Day 20–30 mi and Deep Sea 30–50 mi, and +$125/person on Deep Sea 50–60 mi. All trips are private charters — maximum 4 guests.

What's Included

Every charter includes all fishing tackle, rods & reels, live and cut bait, saltwater fishing licenses, and fuel. Fish cleaning service is available upon request at the dock. Gratuity for the captain and mate is customary and appreciated.

What to Bring

Sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, non-marking soled shoes, and a valid photo ID. Cooler, food, and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome. Dress in layers — early morning Gulf trips can be cool even in summer.

Weather & Cancellation Policy

Safety comes first. In the event of unsafe weather conditions, Captain Mark reserves the right to reschedule or cancel the trip. Please contact us directly to confirm our current cancellation and rescheduling policy before booking.

Tarpon & Seasonal Availability

The Tarpon Special is seasonal — peak season runs May through August on Tampa Bay. Species availability varies by season across all trip types. Captain Mark will advise on what's biting when you book. No trip is ever guaranteed — fishing is fishing.
