Is there a deckhand?

Absolutely! We pride ourselves on having a top-notch crew. We will take excellent care of your group : )

Do we tip the deckhand?

The captain and crew give 110% every day. While not required, a 20% tip is customary.

Do you offer “split trips”?

For the comfort of our guests, we only offer single-party trips at this time.

How far in advance should I book?

During the Spring/Summer season, we can book up to a year in advance. Booking early is your best bet to guarantee a day on the water. Availability is first paid, first served. Call, text, or email to inquire about available dates. If we’re booked, we have a solid list of recommendations.

Is there a deposit?

Yes. To reserve the boat for your trip, a 50% deposit is required.

How do we book?

Contact us to verify availability. After you’re on the books, we’ll send over a guide with all the info you need to know!

Methods of payment?

Retainers are made by credit card. The remaining balance can also be on a credit card, or we can take cash on the boat.

What’s the cancellation policy?

If you cancel 14 days or more prior, you receive a full refund minus a 10% booking fee. If you cancel within 7 days, refunds are not permitted. If you do not show up for your reservation or cancel within 48 hours, your credit card will be charged the total amount of the trip. You receive a full refund if the Captain cancels due to weather or safety concerns.

What about the weather?

We get it; Florida weather can be a little unpredictable. We rarely have to cancel due to weather. The safety of our passengers is our top priority, so we check the weather meticulously. The Captain will determine if conditions are unsafe and will notify you as soon as possible.

How early should we arrive?

The Seawolf makes multiple fishing trips a day. To allow everyone time to offload and get photos, we ask that you not arrive more than 15 minutes early to your scheduled departure time. With that being said, we love it when you’re on time. If you are late, that time is deducted from your fishing time.

How many people can I bring?

For the safety and comfort of our passengers and crew, we allow up to 6 guests on board. That number applies to ALL persons on board, no matter their age. We play by the rules set forth by the US Coast Guard.

What do I need to bring?

All you need to bring are your favorite essentials. Food, drinks, a camera, sunscreen, Dramamine, and a light jacket are recommended. We provide the boat, ice, dead bait, tackle, deckhand, fishing licenses, safety gear, and over 10 years of experience.

Do we need to bring our fishing gear?

We’ve got your back. All necessary gear (with spares) are already on board. However, we allow you to bring any reasonable gear you’d like. Please note that braided fishing line is not permitted on board.

Can we bring alcohol?

You can enjoy adult beverages, but drunkenness is not tolerated.

Do I need a fishing license?

Seawolf Charters supplies fishing licenses for all guests.

Do we pay for live bait?

You can upgrade to live bait on bottom fishing trips. Usually, $20-30 worth of live bait is sufficient. While not required, it is recommended.

Does the boat have an A/C?

Our AC pumps air straight from Antarctica. There’s also a heater, but we’ve never actually used it.

Is there a restroom?

We have a quality bathroom below deck.
