Yes. This is a private bareboat (demise) charter, so you select and engage a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain separately for your trip.
Plan for a customary captain gratuity that isn’t included (the notes mention 15–20% and also 20%). Fuel is included for standard coastal cruising, but extended cruising or offshore use may add fuel charges based on actual consumption (excess fuel charges apply above 10 gallons an hour). Optional third-party power water toys delivered to the boat cost extra and are billed to your account.
You can bring food and beverages. Don’t bring red wine or glass beer bottles (wine and champagne are permitted), and avoid items that may stain upholstery.

We had an amazing time with Kokomo Charters! Captain Vanessa and Cassie were absolutely wonderful—friendly, professional, attentive, and so much fun. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time from beginning to end. The boat was beautiful, the service was excellent, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect way to celebrate my husband’s birthday with friends. We made unforgettable memories and would definitely book with Kokomo Charters again. Highly recommended!
