Frequently Asked Questions

  Frequently Asked Questions
 

We consider it a very important part of our service to you to help make your charter fishing plans as easy and comfortable as we possibly can. We sincerely want to answer any and all questions that you might have. Please let us know is we can help in scheduling your fishing trip or how to get the most out of our Rhode Island charters fishing trips.

 
 

Q.

Do I need to bring any fishing tackle or bait?
   

A.

No, we provide all the fishing tackle and bait necessary.  However, if you want to bring your own tackle please discuss it first with the captain so that we can make accommodations for it. Please remember that we cannot be responsible for lost or broken fishing tackle.

       
  Q. Do I need a fishing license?
   

A.

All of our guests are covered under our blanket boat license. 
       
  Q. Should I bring along a cooler when I arrive and come aboard the boat?
   

A.

You may want to bring a small cooler for your food and drinks but a large cooler is not necessary. However, if you plan on taking fish home, we do recommend that you bring a large cooler and leave it in your vehicle.

       
  Q.

Can I take my catch home to eat?

    A. Definitely. Although sometimes we catch a protected species, most are allowed to be kept for consumption.
       
  Q.

Where do I get my fish cleaned?

    A.

As a part of our service to you, we will clean and package your fish when we return to the marina. 

       
  Q.

What happens if the weather is too bad to fish and I have scheduled a charter and paid a deposit?

    A.

No problem. Unless you hear differently from the captain, it is best to plan to be at the dock at the pre-arranged departure time. If the captain determines that a trip would be unsafe, he will give you your option of rescheduling another day or returning your full refund.

       
  Q.

Do I tip the captain and mate?

    A.

The mate works hard to ensure that you have a safe and successful trip. He is paid only by your tips so it is customary to tip him between 15% and 20% of the charter fee. The captain would be flattered by a tip but certainly does not expect one. 

       
  Q.

What should I bring along in the boat for my charter fishing trip?

    Enough food and drinks for the day (no hard liquor allowed)
    Sunglasses (preferably polarized)
    Layered clothing to cover both extremes
    Hat/Cap
    Sunscreen
    Rubber sole non-marking shoes (preferably deck shoes)
    Motion sickness medicine if you aren't sure about your situation with motion
    Large cooler to take home your catch (please leave in the car until we return)
    Camera (Saltwater and cameras don't mix so please be careful with your expensive cameras and camera equipment. We are not responsible for losses.)
       
       

Mahi are some of the most colorful fish in the ocean.
