    Things to know

    Trips require a minimum number of anglers to run; if the minimum is not met you can transfer, rebook, or receive a refund. A child age 13 or older may go alone if a parent or legal guardian signs a waiver at check-in. Rod rental and live minnows cost extra, and crew tips are customary but optional.

    Cancellation Policy

    Cancel or change up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund or credit. Cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows are charged full price. If the operator cancels due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, you receive a full refund or credit.

    FAQs

    Arrive 15 minutes before departure and check in at the tackle shop ticket window.

    The Calico Jack headboat trip is open to all ages. A child age 13 or older may go alone if a parent or legal guardian signs a waiver at check-in.

    Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, sun-protective clothing, rain gear if the weather is inclement, and seasonal layers. You may bring food and drinks (alcohol is permitted) and a small cooler. You may also want cash for snacks and drinks onboard. Bring a cooler to take your fish home, but you do not need to bring it on the boat.

    Back Bay Adventures offers both fishing charters and jet ski rentals that consistently deliver for families and first-timers. The fishing trips stand out for their manageable 2.5-hour duration and smaller capacity (capped at 25 people), which means more space and attention than crowded competitor boats. First mates like Kellen, Tallon, and Finn earn frequent praise for being attentive and jumping in to help with everything from baiting hooks to untangling lines, making the experience smooth even for complete beginners. The jet ski tours also get enthusiastic reviews, with guides described as friendly and giving groups plenty of open water to explore. Families particularly appreciate how welcoming the staff is with kids and nervous first-timers. One booking hiccup appears in the reviews where a trip was cancelled twice due to low participant numbers, which caused frustration. Otherwise, the crew's helpfulness and the reasonable pricing for what you get are the consistent themes that come through.

    A wonderful trip. First mate Jeff was super helpful and seemingly everywhere at once. Capt. put us on the fish. Had a great time.
