Do we need any prior fishing experience? Is the crew experienced in teaching beginners, especially children?No prior experience is required. The crew is professionally trained, and can teach children and beginners how to fish.

-
Do we need to have fishing licenses?No. As long as you are on Capt. Keith's boat, you are qualified to catch fish.
-
What is your policy on catch and release? Can we keep what we catch? If so, are there cleaning and filleting services available?As long as the fish are of legal size, you are allowed to keep what you catch. We specialize in cleaning, and prepping the fish for you to keep; HOWEVER, you must bring your own freezer-grade Ziploc bags.
-
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our fishing trip? What is the cancellation policy for weather?If the weather is bad we can cancel the trip and reschedule, or give you a full refund of your deposit.
-
What is the best time of year or time of day for family fishing trips for the species we're interested in?The best time of year to catch fish is around early Spring to Fall. For Montauk, NY, May-Nov is the ideal period to fish.
-
What should we bring with us (e.g., food, drinks, sunscreen, hats, appropriate clothing, cooler for fish)?You should bring your own food, drinks, ice and ice cooler(s). We also recommend bringing 1-gallon freezer-quality Ziploc bags for the fish you catch. We have a hold onboard to keep the fish cold while we're off the dock fishing, but do not forget to bring your own containers to take your fish home in!
-
Will we get wet on the boat, and should we bring a change of clothes or rain gear?You may get wet on the boat. We do recommend bringing some spare clothes just incase.
-
What should someone do if they are prone to seasickness?We recommend a dose before going to bed the night before to make sure it is in your system and another half dose, along with a dry meal like crackers, toast or a bagel before boarding the boat. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE ON THE BOAT TO TAKE DRAMAMINE.
-
Is the boat suitable and safe for children of various ages? (e.g., high railings, shade, etc.)The boat is suitable for children and there are areas with shade if you get too hot.

-
What is the minimum age for children to come on the charter?There is no minimum age for children; however, please exercise common sense when considering the age of children you plan to bring along. For example, it wouldn't be a good idea to bring a 4-month old on a charter fishing boat.
