Our prices are for the boat so you're welcome to bring a second angler and split the cost.

The boats we use seat two anglers and a guide. If your group is larger, we often run multi-boat trips so everyone can enjoy time on the water.

Our guides provide all the equipment you'll need on the water. After you book your trip our staff will email you a confirmation letter that details how to get things like a fishing license and how to dress for a day on the water.
