***Try to make your reservations as early as possible. Dates and seats fill quickly. We do sometimes get cancellations, or have next day availability. Please call and leave me a detailed message and I will return the call as soon as possible (usually within 24 hours). ***

***Cancellation Policy***
Cancellations made 30 days prior to trip reservation date can receive a 100% refund. Trips cancelled inside of this will loose their deposit. Trips cancelled with less than 7 days before reserved date will have your credit card charged for the full amount of the trip. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON SPLIT CHARTER TRIPS UNLESS THE TRIP IS CANCELLED BY THE CAPTAIN.  ON SPLIT TRIPS, PAYMENT IN FULL REQUIRED  SO WE ARE NOT LEFT AT THE DOCK IN THE EVENT THE OTHER PARTIES ARE A NO SHOW. The captain maintains the right to cancel the trip in the event of hazardous weather or other acts of god. If the captain deems the weather unsafe, your deposit will be applied to a future trip, or a 100% refund will be given.
  If you decide to cut a trip short because you are seasick, payment for the trip is still required in full. On split party trips, WE DO NOT COME BACK IN FOR BEING SEA SICK. ​

OFFSHORE

*The bottom fishing off of SW Florida can be described as nothing short of excellent. The only downside to the fishing on this coast is you need to make longer runs to get to the fishy waters. It is my opinion that the quality of fish increases dramatically the further you go out. With this said, a good quantity of fish can be taken on all trips, but the amount of quality fish is the variable.

Rates below are for offshore trips on the 33 Foot World Cat Catamaran. 
  Please refer to the chart below for pricing. Custom trips can be arranged. Please call for details

 For split charters, the FULL BALANCE will be collected in advance to ensure the trip is a go in the event the other party is a no show. 
NOTE: Tip/Gratuities not included in price. While never expected ( should always be earned), it is customary to tip 15-20% in the service industry. 
*****ALL RATES ARE IN US DOLLARS.*****
*Due to the crazy fluctuations in fuel prices, a small surcharge may be added to help offset the costs.  Thank you for your understanding!

While we usually will catch "keeper" size fish on these trips, they are generally not large fish. Most are what we would consider pan fish.  For the chance at larger fish, longer trips are recommended as we are able to get out further into deeper water.
