What to Expect
- For those prone to motion sickness, take precautions so you can enjoy your trip.
- Our goal is to provide guests with an experience that makes memories. While the hope is to have fun while catching as many fish as allowed, there is always the chance that none of the fish caught can be kept.
- Please know the captains and crews will always do their best to ensure you have a wonderful time.
