Pricing

Listed boat prices are per boat not per person. The rates are based on up to 1-4 people on the boats up to 34′ and up to 1-6 people on the larger boats of 35′-38′ depending on the boat. All other boats the price will be quoted.
Rates are subject to change over the 4 people for the package or the maximum number of people allowed per boat.

1/2 day charters – approx 5 hrs – 7am – 12:00pm
3/4 day charters – approx 6+ hrs – 7am – 2:00pm
Full day charters – approx 8+ hrs – 7am – 4:00pm

Please note that boats won’t go offshore for 1/2 day charters so if you want to target billfish you will need to do at least a 3/4 or full day offshore charter.

Included on all 1/2 day, 3/4 day and f/d charters is fishing gear, bait and tackle, fruit, pop, juice, water and beer and the 3/4 and full day charters also include a light lunch.

Not included are fishing licenses or tips. A customary tip is between 10-20% for the boat and is not included in the rate and although it’s not expected it’s very much appreciated, so if you’re happy with them and the hard work they do please keep them in mind.

Fishing licenses are now required, and we are asking all our clients to please go to the site below and fill out the form provided. You will need a passport number, the names of the people fishing and the start date of your trip. These licenses are $15.00 per person and when the final step is done you can either print them off or take a screenshot with your phones, but you must have some sort of copy on board.

The cost is in US$ per person:
$15.00 for a period of 1-8 days
$30.00 for a period of 30 days
$50.00 for a year

If the site is down, take a screenshot showing the error message and you should not have any problems but still might be asked to purchase them at the water. They are sometimes at the pier/beach looking for these licenses and if for some reason you do not have one, they can sell them to you at that time. We ask that you have the correct amount with you as they don’t always have change with them.

Depending on their mood they may want all passengers to have a License even those not fishing, except small children and that rule (small children) changes daily Sorry. We are currently working with these officials to try and iron out some problems as we feel that those not fishing and young children should be exempt, but they write the rules.

It is our position when purchasing a license to just purchase one for those fishing, for example: If Mom & Dad are going out with 3 kids and Mom is not fishing and the kids are all under 12 then purchase 1 license and deal with them at the pier, and if the officials are there that morning you can talk with them and if they insist then purchase them at that time thus perhaps saving you money.

Note when the drop down to pay comes up you will enter:
