  • Confirm with Capt. Greg which departure port will be used. The boat will be where the fish are, make sure you arrive where the boat is!
  • Departing times will vary depending on the season. However, for most AM charters we like to leave at 5:30 AM and sometimes even earlier on weekends to beat the rush to the hot spots which get over crowded sometimes, especially if you leave late. (Sometimes the Early Bird really does get the worm!)
  • For April and May PM Trophy Rockfish trips we will leave the dock at 12 or 1 PM.
  • For afternoon rockfish and bottom fishing trips in late June, July, August we like to leave the dock at 11am or 12noon depending.
  • We provide rods/reels, bait, tackle, and ice and fish box for your catch. No fishing licenses required. You are more than welcome to bring your own lucky rod and reel.
  • A $200 deposit per trip is required upon booking a charter, we use the SQUARE app to quickly & easily take over the phone Credit Card deposits and instantly send receipts.

  • Deposits are non-refundable unless at least 30 days of notice are given before the booked date, or if the trip is cancelled by the Captain due to inclement weather.
  • There is no Credit Card processing fee charged for deposits given using a CC, However all balances paid the day of the charter with a credit card will incur a 3% processing fee, SO PLEASE BRING CASH or CHECK.
  • Be sure to collect $$$ from all your crew so you don’t get stuck paying the entire bill or calling everybody you know the night before trying to find replacements for your buddies who backed out at the last minute.charter-group-holding-their-catches
  • Prime dates go fast, call as early as possible to ensure you can get a booking when you want to go and when the fishing is red hot.
  • The first mate works for tips and the gratuity of about 20% is customary and expected. Mates work very hard before, during, and after charter trips to ensure you have a successful and fun-filled day on the Bay.
  • In most cases a 20% tip for the first mate will cover fish cleaning, however if your crew has a big haul and comes to shore with a load of bottom fish or a load of Bluefish and Mackerel it is normal and expected for the crew to throw in some additional funds for the mates hard and very carefully done work.

If you have a need for additional boats to take a large group out fishing, there are several other boats and Captains available that can fill the order. For multiple boat charters please try and give plenty of advance notice since it is often difficult to find several boats that have a common open date.
