No, you are covered under my charter boat’s fishing license.

On haddock trips clients keep all they catch pending catch limits and size restrictions.  Filleting and bagging is included.  You may also bring a cooler to take home your catch.  If you don’t have a cooler though, don’t worry – we can keep the fish on ice until the end of the trip for you.   On Tuna trips the laws do not allow the clients to keep the fish. That is governed by federal laws and only a permitted fishing vessel is allowed to keep a tuna.  You will be credited 10% up to $1200 for all commercial sales of the tuna.  If we land a short, under the recreational rules, pending quota restrictions, that one can be cut up and taken home.   

We go out rain or shine and weather cancellations are at the Captains’ discretion. 

YES!  Crews work hard for the tips and they are appreciated and earned.  A 20% tip on the cost of the trip is customary for good hard work and service by the crew. 

A minimum of two weeks advance notice is required to cancel a charter, the deposit will be returned. If within two weeks, the deposit will only be returned if we can schedule another charter on that date. If bad weather forces a cancellation (Captain's decision made at the dock) deposit will be applied to another day. If another day can’t be scheduled this season, the deposit will be applied to the next season. 

Should poor weather develop, full-day offshore sportfishing charter may be downgraded to full-day inshore, full-day inshore will be downgraded to half-day inshore, etc…
