Here are answers to our Frequently Asked Questions we hope you find helpful, but should you have further questions, please call us at 619-226-2929.

Q: Besides the price of the charter, what other costs are involved?
A: None! The charter price includes the cost of the required licenses, bait, fish cleaning, beverages and food.

Q: Do I need to tip the captain and crew after a charter? If so, what is the recommended amount?
A: While tipping is not required, it is customary to tip the captain and the crew. The standard amount is 15 to 20% depending on the service. Please use the same discretion you would in a restaurant.

Q: Can we bring a cooler on board?
A: No. Please do not bring a cooler as they slide around when the boat moves and become dangerous. We provide all the soda, beer, and water you could possibly need and we can always fulfill special requests.

Q: Can we bring our own food and beverages?
A: Of course, although we prefer you not bring glass bottles.

Q: Can we bring our own tackle?
A: All of our boats come fully equipped with the necessary tackle but you may certainly bring your own.

Q: What time should we arrive for our charter?
A: Please arrive 30 minutes before any trips between ½ day and 5AM-to-5PM. For overnight or longer trips, please arrive approximately 1 hour before the scheduled departure time.

Q: What do I need to bring with me on the charter?
A: We suggest dressing in layers as early mornings tend to be chilly, but the temperatures rise as the day progresses.
Sunblock and a hat are essential even on cloudy days and we always recommend brining a camera. We do not recommend flips due to their slippery nature. Boots are more suitable but if you do not have boots, please wear something with a non-slick sole that can get wet. Also, if you are susceptible to seasickness, plan to take Bonine, Dramamine, or another similar motion sickness medication. We sell Bonine and Dramamine at the Landing if you forget to bring some. Please keep in mind that you need to take motion sickness medication before the boat leaves in order for the medicine to be effective.

Seasickness is a form of motion sickness characterized by a feeling
of nausea and, in extreme cases, vertigo experienced after
spending time on the water. It is typically brought on by the
rocking motion of the boat. Some people who are particularly
vulnerable to the condition can feel seasick simply by setting
foot on a boat, even if the vessel is in dry dock. Others are
relatively immune, or become immune through exposure.
Over-the-counter and prescription medications such as dramamine
and scopolamine (as transdermal patches and tablets) are readily
available. Ginger capsules are also considered effective in
preventing motion sickness as well as wearing special motion
sickness wristbands
Those suffering from seasickness often find relief by:
· keeping their eyes directed to the fixed shore or horizon
· lying down on their backs and closing their eyes
· avoiding alcohol, and fatty and spicy foods
· move into a position where fresh air is blowing on their face
· sucking on crystallised ginger, sipping ginger tea or taking a capsule of ginger.
· moving to the boat's center of gravity
· drinking plenty of water
Unlike with a hangover, succumbing to nausea normally does not
relieve the symptoms of seasickness, and, once started, is often difficult to stop.
