a more skilled and confident angler with artificial lures.

All tackle is provided, and your catch will be cleaned at the end of the day. You’ll depart at 6:00 AM and can bring your own drinks (no glass). Bluetooth music is welcome onboard, and the trip is beginner- and kid-friendly.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
