    FAQs

    Yes. The fishing charter is family-friendly and suitable for all ages and experience levels. Nearshore shark trips are a popular choice for families with young children.

    No. Fish may not be biting, so a catch is not guaranteed on your nearshore trip.

    Arrive 15 minutes early. Park west of the boat storage building, not in the restaurant's two-hour parking spaces. Look for the ticket booth and fish hang board in front of the departure docks.
