When booking one of our Day Combination Fishing Trips you have the option to book by the seat or book the whole boat. Booking the whole boat has its advantages, to include a discounted price and the ability to customize the trip (e.g., target species, priorities, timeline). Plus, if you book the whole boat, you will be able to choose your fishing companions!
