what else should i know before booking?
Parking is limited at our location. We strongly advise your group to carpool.
Our boats have a maximum legal capacity of ten (10) persons, regardless of age or weight. For comfort, especially on our sport deck boats, fewer passengers are recommended as the boat may feel crowded at full capacity.
We use the Buckman bridge and Bayard Point (Outback Crab Shack is fine as well) near the Shands Bridge as our boundaries. Traveling out of bounds will incur additional fees.
You’re welcome to bring your own gear- fishing rods, bait, coolers, jackets, tubes, etc.; dock carts will be provided for loading and unloading.
If your preferred date or time is unavailable at the time of booking, give us a call - we might be able to find a boat for you!
Are pets allowed on the boats?
Yes, we are pet friendly! You will be financially responsible for any damages, including damages caused by pets.
