FAQ

Every trip is custom and we can try to fit whatever you like within reason. Some groups will shell for the whole time while others only walk the beach for 30 minutes then want to move on to lunch or sightseeing. Communication is key to making your trip what you want it to be.

All fishing equipment, rods, reels, tackle, and live bait are provided. We also supply ice, bottled water, and a cooler for your catch. Just bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and your sense of adventure!

That really depends on what time of your you are here and what the weather is doing. Feel free to reach out for a recent report of what has been productive. Depending on the season you will catch snook,redfish,trout,tarpon,snapper,sheepshead, sharks, jacks, ladyfish, pompano, Spanish mackeral, king mackeral, and grouper.

Absolutely! Our Fish & Explore charters are family-friendly and perfect for children of all ages. We can customize the trip to include kid-friendly activities like shelling and eco tours, making it an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

Generally we book tarpon specific trips however in the months that are right on the verge of tarpon season beginning and ending I have no problem trying for tarpon if we see a few showing up early or hanging out late.
