Q.
If we fly in and catch a lot of fish, is there a way for us to bring it home?
A.
Sending your catch home can be done by the fish houses throughout the Florida Keys. The Captains here in the Florida Keys are very mindful of the overfishing that can occur by loading the freezer. When you purchase your day, the amount of plundering is up to you. In our experience frozen fish is a serious let down in flavor. Freeze at your own risk!!!

Q.
Can we bring alcoholic beverages on the boat?
A.
Alcohol is OK, but please, in moderation! : )
The sun, physical activity and motion of the boat can really ruin your day so please be careful. Our best advice to you is to take it easy the night before and bring other drinks on the boat so you’re not tempted to overdo it.

Q.
Can I bring my own equipment?
A.
Pack up that old firewood and bring it on down!!! Always great to see the different choices out there and see how it holds up under serious distress. If not, “our firewood” will work for you just fine.
