MOST FREQUENT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT OUR BOAT TOURS IN PCB
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can join a charter?
Our boat is Coast Guard-approved to accommodate up to 18 passengers, making it an ideal choice for large groups. Most fishing boats in this area are only 6-pack charter boats and can't accommodate larger groups of friends and family.
What should I bring on my charter?
Don't forget to bring drinks, snacks, sunscreen lotion (please apply aerosol sunscreen on the dock or in the parking lot prior to boarding the vessel to avoid making the back deck slick), polarized sunglasses, a hat, a camera, motion sickness medication, and cash for gratuity for the crew (18-20%). It is also recommended to wear appropriate attire, including an SPF shirt and shoes with a good grip.
Is there an age limit?
We are a family-friendly business and welcome guests of all ages! Whether you're bringing along little ones or grandparents, we're here to ensure everyone has a fantastic time. Just remember to supervise children closely for their safety.
What is your cancellation policy?
After booking, you may cancel within 24 hours for a full refund. After 24 hours, your deposit is non-refundable. If you choose to pay the full amount at booking, you can cancel with a refund (- deposit) up to 30 days before your trip date.
What happens if the weather is bad for my scheduled charter?
Your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities! If the weather is deemed unsafe for boating—such as high winds, rough seas, or storms—we will either reschedule your trip for a later date or provide a full refund if rescheduling is not possible.
However, if it’s just light rain, many of our trips can still run since our boat has a cabin and a covered back deck to keep you dry. Florida weather can change quickly, and light rain often passes through without affecting the experience.
Our captain closely monitors weather conditions and will make the final decision regarding cancellations. We strive to give as much advance notice as possible, but we appreciate your understanding.
If you have any concerns about the forecast before your trip, feel free to call or text us at 850-774-9007 for updates.
Will I get seasick?
Seasickness is a possibility for some guests, especially if it's your first time out on the water or if you're prone to motion sickness. We recommend taking motion sickness medication the night before and the morning of your trip to reduce the risk and ensure you have an enjoyable experience. If you begin to feel queasy while on the boat, try focusing on the horizon, sipping on some ginger ale, or sitting in an area with less movement.
What amenities does the boat have?
Our boat is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable trip. The air-conditioned cabin provides a cool retreat from the sun and features cushioned seating, a small table, and a bathroom for your convenience. The spacious covered back deck offers plenty of room to move around while providing shade and protection from the elements, allowing you to fully enjoy your time on the water.
