The boat slips quietly away from the Miami boat ramp, the city skyline shrinking into a glittering pinwheel while the bay opens up and dares you to make something of the next two hours. The salt air tugs at the brim of your hat; gulls wheel and the water lifts a steady rhythm that pushes the bow toward likely currents and structure.

Sun Protection
Miami sun is strong even on cloudy days—use reef-safe, non-spray sunscreen and wear a wide-brim hat and UV-protective clothing.
Motion Sickness Plan
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventive meds or use acupressure bands before boarding; the captain can keep the ride smooth but conditions change fast.
Hydration & Snacks
Bring a refillable water bottle and light snacks—short trips are active and dehydration sneaks up in salt air.
Respect Catch Rules
Ask the captain about size and bag limits before keeping fish; many inshore species are managed and some areas require catch-and-release.
