ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES - LESS IS MORE

Tampa Bay charter captains outfit their boats with the client in mind and being that you'll be sharing, on an average of, 176 sq. ft for a few hours with a couple of fisherman... space is at a premium. Our suggestions below should always be confirmed with the specific captains but provide reasonable guidelines when getting ready for your trip.

Bring One Small Weather Resistant Bag Containing:

 
Polarized Sun Glasses: From watching the dolphin to identifying what's on the end of your line, it'll make a big difference.
Required Medications: If you have a known medical concern, please bring your required medications after notifying the captain.
Apparel: Bring an extra shirt and always include head covering and an extra outer garment that can be easily removed/stored if the forecast dictates
Grease Up Before You Go: Take the time to add your sunblock before hitting the water and bring it with you, particularly if you're fair skinned.
Bottled Water: It can never hurt to bring a couple.
An Inexpensive Digital Camera (In a zip locked plastic bag): Probably one of the most common casualties on the water, but a must have anyway.
 

Omit The Following Without Your Captains Approval:

 
 
Fishing Rods: There are a limited number of rod holders on the boat and your captain will have the appropriate rods for your targeted species.
Tackle Box: Your captain is an expert on the tackle required for our area so the extra box is just one more thing to walk around or store.
A Cooler: Your captain will have a cooler with plenty of ice, please feel free to bring a beverage or two but leave the cooler behind.
Alcoholic Beverages: Never attempt to bring alcoholic beverages on board without the prior approval of your captain.
