Fish near shore for mackerel, bonita, and sharks, with catch-and-release reef fishing as an alternative. Learn alongside a captain and first mate on a private charter.
This booking is for the whole experience, which fits up to 6 guests.
Trip cost is nonrefundable except when you cancel 14 days in advance or weather conditions do not permit the trip. The captain determines safe weather conditions.
Wear tennis shoes or non-skid shoes. Crocs and beach flip-flops are not allowed because they are slippery on the boat.
