What to bring?
Although nothing is required, as all trips are all-inclusive, we recommend bringing snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen to ensure your trip is even more enjoyable.
- Sunglasses & sunscreen We recommend bringing sunglasses, sunscreen, and appropriate clothing for the weather (your captain will advise you the day before). And, of course, don't forget your phone to capture memorable moments with photos :)
- Snacks (if you want) The cooler has ample space for your favorite snacks, sodas, or alcoholic beverages should you choose to bring them. For trips of 6 hours or more, we recommend packing a lunch. A sandwich or any easy-to-eat option would be ideal for enjoying while fishing.
How to book & pay?
Step 1: Choose the trip you like and request the captain's availability online. You will receive a confirmation within a couple of hours.
Step 2: Secure your booking with a prepayment made directly to the captain. Typically, this is 10-30% of the total trip price. Captain accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Cash.
Step 3: Pay the remaining balance directly to the captain on or before the day of your trip.
Cancellation & Refund policy
Prepayment non-refundable
- If you cancel your booking, your prepayment will not be refunded. In certain cases, the captain can offer a different fishing date, but we can't guarantee that.
- If the captain decides it is not safe to proceed with the trip (for instance, due to weather conditions or because the boat needs maintenance), the captain can cancel the trip at any time before it starts. In such cases, your prepayment will be fully refunded.
