The Experience
Before You Go
Timing Is Everything
Book the 8:00 AM departure for calmer seas, cooler sun, and better bite rates on the outer reef.
Sun and Salt Protection
Use reef-safe sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a brimmed hat—reflected sun off the water intensifies UV exposure.
Motion-Sickness Prep
If you get seasick, take medication an hour before departure or use pressure bands; mornings tend to be smoother.
Cooler and Catch Care
Bring a small soft-sided cooler or use the boat’s ice to keep fillets fresh if you plan to bring fish home.
