FAQs
Park at a metered space, not a slip-renter space. Parking requires a $13 day pass, available at the kiosk or tackle shop; the tackle shop accepts cash only.
Wear layers for cool bay mornings and warmer conditions later. Rubber boots are optional; avoid flip-flops and other open-toed shoes. You may bring snacks, beverages, and alcoholic beverages on the fishing charter.
The boat cannot return to the dock in most cases if someone gets sick. Consider Bonine or Dramamine if you are prone to seasickness.
