The nearshore charter runs in rain as long as there is no lightning. The captain determines whether weather and waves are safe.

Great experience once again with Executive Saltwater Charters. This was our second booking with ESC. CPT. Ryan was awesome and so was deck hand Wyatt. Still able to catch up with CPT. Barry back at the dock which was great as well. We will be back again for one of their pelagic trips. True professionals in every aspect.
