Parking is on the right as you pull down to the wharf by the ice machines. Please do not park in resident or commercial fishing spots. If there are no spots available, unload your people and things and we will ferry you to and from another spot.

You do not need a fishing license while fishing with us! Your party is covered under our guide’s licensing whilst fishing on our boat. If you intend to fish from the beach or local bridges whilst on your stay, you should check out the Maine Saltwater Registry at the Maine Dept of Marine Resources site https://www.maine.gov/dmr/fisheries/recreational/licenses-registry. Note: If you are on a trip with us, and there is left-over bait that you caught, we will be glad to package it for you and offer suggestions as to how to catch fish from the shore.

You are welcome to keep any legal fish you catch (proper size, in season, within bag limit). The captain or crew is glad to fillet or in some case dress your fish for you and pack it up. We will provide ice for all day trips and can keep your fish fresh on half day trips with live well and/or water bath. Also, we will be happy to offer suggestions as to how to cook various species with various methods. You should bring a cooler for transport home. This may be left in your vehicle if you wish.

Children are welcome. When bringing children, consider the length of the trip (most no problem with half day). Mackerel trips are usually fast paced and lil ones don’t get bored. By law we are required to have type I pfds (big, bulky, uncomfortable) aboard. Also, Maine state law requires children ten and under to have a life preserver on the dock. So, if your child[ren] has a comfortable life preserver, bring it. If not, we can accommodate. Just notify the captain and we can meet you before coming down the dock.

The weather can be highly unpredictable. It can be eighty-five degrees and sunny at the dock, but foggy, dark, and cold just a little way out. Therefore, we highly recommend bringing sweatshirts, possibly long pants and on some days, light rain gear. It can also be extremely hot and bright in the sun. So, hats and sunglasses are highly recommended.

For most charters, five people is the most comfortable. However, we allow a sixth for an extra cost.

Customers can cancel free of charge for up to 30 days before the trip. If a trip needs to be cancelled due to dangerous weather or mechanical problems, the captain will do his best to notify you as soon as possible and to reschedule or refund you where appropriate. Safety is our chief concern.

You may pay via cash, personal check, Venmo or PayPal. Gratuity is customary and we really appreciate it.Customers can cancel free of charge up to 30 days before the trip. Note: if you paid via fishing booker you will need one of the other payment methods for gratuity.
