About
Within 10 minutes of pushing off the dock, we are on location and into the schools of Tarpon. We have the most patient, most fun, and most polite "Family Friendly" captains. You the customer, hold the rod through the entire fishing process. You are not sitting around waiting for the captain or crew to hook a fish and hand off the rod.
Overnight charters: The listed prices are based on a crew of up to 4 passengers. Typically we fish with 2 lines in the water at a time and take turns.
Gratuity: Tipping your captain is customary in the charter business. Typically it is the same as giving gratuity to your waiter in a restaurant. 15%- 20% is a good rule of thumb, depending on what you feel the captain earned.
