Split Charter Details & FAQs
What is included on the split fishing charter?
On every trip, we include licenses, bait, tackle, and coolers with ice. Split charters are designed for groups of up to six individuals who book their spots separately. The trip focuses on maximizing the fishing action for everyone onboard.
Is the trip guaranteed?
Not unless at least 4 people sign up.
What if I get seasick?
The trip will continue unless all participants agree to return early.
What are the trip lengths?
We offer 4, 6, and 8 hr charters. All trips times are from dock to dock, leaving from our slip in the Charter Boat Row at 1801 N. Roosevelt Blvd. Travel time to the fishing grounds is approximately 45-60 minutes.
Am I guaranteed to catch a fish?
All trips are fishing trips, but nothing is guaranteed. If something is not working or an area is not producing, I am more than willing to change gameplans or move to another area as time allows.
Can we keep all of the fish we catch?
Edible catches are shared equally among the group to ensure everyone enjoys the rewards of the day. The mate will fillet and bag them. There is no extra charge for this service.
Is there a restroom on board?
The Southbound has an electric toilet in an enclosed restroom in the forward section of the boat.
What are the fishing charter policies?
TIPPING: On all trips, it is customary to tip the first mate. 20% is standard.
CANCELLATIONS: My cancellation policy is minimum 72 hrs notice or the full amount of the charter will be charged to the credit card on fille. In case of inclement weather, if it is blowing 20mph or greater a customer may cancel without penalty
