Everything you need to fish with is provided. You need to bring a lunch, camera, binoculars, sunscreen, sunglasses, warm clothes and a desire to have fun and catch fish. We can arrange for box lunches if you desire. If you forget any thing let us know, we usually have some spares on the boat. You will see marine mammals, Seals, Sea Lions and occasionally Dahls Porpoise and Orca Whales. If it might rain you should bring rain gear, but the cabin is covered and you can go inside anytime. It’s best to dress in layers so you can peel some off when it gets warm, or put some on if it cools off.

If the water is too rough for safety we will reschedule or cancel. If it’s raining, we’ll still go. The boat has a covered and heated cabin so you can get out of the rain if necessary. Around here we can’t let a little rain stop us.

Cancellations, although rare are sometimes inevitable. Rescheduling is the best policy and we will work with you to the best of our ability to do so. If you must cancel you are required to give us at least 15 days notice for a full deposit refund minus a $10 per person booking fee which is non refundable. If you notify us between 4-14 days before the trip you will be charged a $50 per person cancellation fee in addition to the $10 non refundable booking fee. If we are able to rebook with other people we may waive the cancelation fee. If you give us less than 3 days notice and or do not show up you will be charged in full for the charter. This is charged to credit card on file at time of reservation. 15 or more days = $10 per person booking fee 4-14 days = $50 per person fee + $10 per person booking fee 3 days or less = Charged in full
