Anglers ask this before nearly every offshore trip, and the honest answer is: less than you would think.

What we supply

  • Rods, reels and all terminal tackle
  • Bait, ice and fuel
  • Fish cleaning and bagging at the dock
  • A cooler for your catch

What to bring yourself

Sunscreen, sunglasses, a light jacket for the run out before sunrise, and any food or drinks you want aboard. If you are prone to seasickness, take a motion sickness tablet the night before and again the morning of the trip.

Planning a canyon trip or an overnight run? Ask us for the extended packing list when you book, since those trips need a bit more than a standard full day.
