Safety equipment, fishing gear, and local knowledge are provided to support a productive charter experience. Booking details, availability, and specific trip logistics are handled directly through the operator; pricing and exact itineraries vary by date and guest needs. Tantrum Sportfishing emphasizes consistent provisioning for guests on board, with the Full Day including meals and shorter trips offering bottled water and ice.
