Good to know

Questions before you book

Do I need a fishing license?

No — your Florida saltwater fishing license is covered under the charter's vessel license. Just bring yourself and your crew.

Is it good for kids and first-timers?

Absolutely. The inshore backcountry trip is calm and protected, and Captain Frank loves teaching newcomers the ropes — casting, knots, and landing their first fish.

What should I bring?

Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), soft-soled shoes, a light jacket, snacks and drinks, and a cooler for your fillets. We provide all the fishing gear, bait, and ice.

What if the weather turns?

Safety comes first. If conditions aren't safe we'll reschedule or refund per our cancellation policy — confirmed when you book.
