Our custom vessel is equipped with all necessary safety gear, and our seasoned captain will guide you through the process at a comfortable pace. We focus on creating a supportive environment to help you build confidence on the water. Check our real-time calendar to find a date that works perfectly for your group.
What happens to my private charter if the weather is bad?
Safety is always our highest priority, so if the captain determines that offshore winds, sea conditions, or inlet currents are unsafe, we will cancel the trip before leaving the dock. We closely monitor the Gulf Stream marine forecasts to make informed decisions and keep your group updated. If a weather cancellation occurs, we will seamlessly reschedule your trip or provide a full refund. Visit our digital booking system to reserve your dates during your preferred season.
What is the cancellation policy for your offshore charters?
We offer a full refund for any reservations that are canceled or rescheduled at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled departure. Because we operate a small-group vessel limited to six passengers, this policy gives us enough time to offer the open slot to other guests. We aim to keep your travel planning as smooth and flexible as possible. If you need to modify your reservation, please use our secure client portal.
Do you offer guided underwater spearfishing and harvesting trips?
We specialize in blue-water harvesting, offering expert guidance on local regulations, lionfish removal, and sustainable spearfishing techniques. Our instructors know exactly which West Palm Beach limestone ledges and artificial reefs hold target species throughout the year. We prioritize safe diving protocols to ensure your underwater harvesting is highly rewarding. Select our specialized hunting package online to secure your dedicated trip.
What time do we need to arrive at Lake Park Marina?
We ask all passengers to arrive at the marina dock at least 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time. This early arrival allows our crew to properly stow your gear, verify any scuba certifications, and deliver our standard vessel safety briefing without rushing. Starting on time means we maximize your valuable hours out on the open ocean. Explore our online scheduling options to pick the best time slot for your charter.
What personal items should I pack for a day on the water?
We recommend bringing reef-safe sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, a hat, and any specific snacks or beverages you would like to keep in our onboard cooler. If you are joining us for a scuba training course or dive charter, please remember your physical or digital C-cards. We handle the heavy technical equipment preparation so your group can simply relax and enjoy the trip. Head over to our live calendar to book your upcoming charter date.
