Tips for a Better Day on the Water

Arrive early to check in, bring photo ID, and prepare motion sickness remedies if prone to seasickness. Wear non‑marking shoes and secure valuables. The crew will handle bait and tackle but anglers should know local regulations for keeping certain species. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a light jacket, and a waterproof camera or phone case to capture the action. Consider tipping the crew for good service; gratuity is customary for charters.
