Adventure Tips
Bring Your Own Snacks and Drinks
Food and beverages are not provided onboard, so pack your favorite refreshments and store them in the boat’s cooler or your personal one.
Wear Non-Slip Footwear
The boat deck can be wet and slippery; sturdy, closed-toe shoes with grip will keep you steady while fishing offshore.

Florida’s sun can be intense on open water—opt for breathable fabrics, hats, and sunglasses to stay comfortable for all four hours.
