Florida Keys / Bahia Honda Tarpon Charter Rates We fish 4 hours on each charter to allow us to get you out on optimal fishing times. Most customers perfer to get out when the bite is good, catch a few tarpon, then get off the water for a few hours to cool off, have lunch, and rest up to be ready to fight some more big fish on the next tide. If traveling from out of town, we recommend fishing a couple of different tides to get the best end result. 4 Hour Tarpon Trip Approx 7:00am - 11:00am: $700* Approx 3:00pm - 7:00pm: $700* 6 Hour Tarpon Trip Approx 7:00am - 1:00pm: $850* Approx 2:00pm - 8:00pm: $850* Reef Combo Trip Please inquire about dates and times: $1000* * Prices are for up to 3 passengers. Some of our boats can take a 4th passenger for an extra fee, however with this type of fishing we can only have 2 lines in the water at a time, so everyone takes turns. Two anglers per boat is perfect if you want to personally fish the entire charter. Cancellation Policy:
We take your charter very seriously and we all work hard for hours prior to your trip scheduling and preparing. A $100 deposit is required to book your charter. Cancellations are extremely rare. If your captain cancels because of inclement weather, mechanical problems, or illness, prior to the trip, the customer will receive a full refund, or can apply their deposit towards an alternate date if desired. If a customer cancels the trip, giving at least a 72 hours notice, they will receive a full refund. A customer who is a "no show" (more than 20 minutes late) or does not give us at least a 72 hour notice, will forfeit their deposit. Winds predicted above 25mph or rain chances above 80% on weather.com within 2 hours of your charter are reasons for delay, re-scheduling, or cancellation. |
OFFSHORE CHARTERS:
Depending on the season and weather, we do offer offshore fishing charters. Because of the extra fuel, bait, and tackle uses for offshore trips, please add $100 to the above rates.
NOTE FOR 4 PASSENGERS GROUPS: Although most of our boats can hold up to 4 passengers, and we take that many people out often, it does limit what we fish for and where we can fish. There is a lot of casting involved with the type of shallow water fishing that we do. 4 passenger crews will be fishing the flats and open areas where everyone can fish at the same time, away from the mangrove shorelines.
CAPTAINS GRATUITY:
Tipping your captain for excellent service is customary in the fishing charter business, and is most certainly appreciated. Typically it's about the same as gratuity for great service in a restaurant, generally 15%-20%.

- Bait
- Tackle
- Saltwater fishing licenses
- Fuel
- A clean cooler with ice for any refreshments you wish to bring

Our rates reflect a 4% cash discount. If a credit card is used to pay charter balance, we cannot apply the 4% discount.)
