Frequently Asked Questions

As soon as you know a date, either text me or email me and I will get back to you to confirm the date. Once date is confirmed, I will send you an invoice with a link to  pay the $100 deposit.  We will send you an invoice for the remaining amount  to be paid prior to 24 hours before the trip starts. We suggest paying at latest the day before the trip, just incase there are any delays with the bank. 

Once we gather your information, we will send you an invoice to pay the $100 deposit.  Then withing 72 hours of your charter we will send another invoice for you to pay your remaining balance.  If you would like to pay cash, the remaining amount must be paid to the Captain before the trip begins. 

Tipping is greatly appreciated.  Tips are usually 15-20% of your total trip cost.  Cash tips are usually the way to go.  But if you want to Zelle a tip afterwards, it would be greatly appreciated. Just ask for my Zelle info at the end of the trip. 

Yes, every adult needs to have a Florida Fresh Water Fishing license in order to fish in our waters.  If you do not have one, please click on the link below and purchase your license through the FWC site.  Children 16 and under do not need a license. https://license.gooutdoorsflorida.com/Licensing/CustomerLookup.aspx

Your payment receipt on your phone is enough to prove you have a license.

It is your responsibility to make sure your Florida Fresh Water Fishing License is valid.  If FWC pulls us over and you are fined for not having a valid license, any fines that are incurred on your behalf, are your responsibility. 

Living in Florida especially during the summer time, the weather can change at the drop of a dime.  If the charter needs to be cancelled du to weather, we can reschedule for the next available time that is convenient for you.  If you are a visitor to South Florida, from out of state or out of the country, we can either reschedule or refund your deposit.

Please text or email me within 72 hours of your charter time and  we can reschedule at a time that is convenient for you.

We provide our clients with everything they need to have an amazing fishing experience. But if you have a favorite rod or lure, sure, bring it along.  But do provide, rods, reels, lures, baits, ice and cold bottled water.  We do suggest you dress in very cool clothing as it does get very hot out there.  Also make sure to bring a hat, a neck gator, sunglasses (polarized are the best), sunscreen, bug repellant, raingear, close toed shoes, a ZIPLOC bag to store any valuables that you do not want to get wet, lunch, juices, and snacks,  If you are not able to bring your lunch, we can gladly pick up a sub of your choice and chips for an additional $20.00 per person. Make sure to bring your signed waiver below as well.

Every person that fishes with us must sign a liability waiver.  Our waiver can be found at this link:  https://southfloridaexoticfishingcharters.com/waiver  Or at the top of our webpage next to the "home" button,  "waiver".

Once you click on it, it will take you to a pdf that needs to be printed out and signed by each person going on the charter. We also request that you provide us with a copy of your drivers license or passport.  Please make sure the name you sign is the name as it appears on your ID.  You can text me or email me a copy of your ID.

NO!  I cater to beginners, intermediate and expert anglers.  I enjoy teaching everyone to fish and get "hooked" on fishing.  

Every child is different of course, if your child is 7 years old or older and LOVES fishing or want to learn, then it could be a great experience for them.  If they do not like fishing, I don't think it's a great idea.  We walk through tall, swampy areas, it is extremely hot and there is a possibility of large mosquitos.  Where we are going fishing, there are no bathrooms or Port a Potty's. 

Unfortunately no, the prices I have listed are amazing prices even for one person.  Bring your bestie and split the cost!

Refunds from the banks usually take anywhere from 5-7 business days. Once the refund is processed on our side, you will have to reach out to your bank if there is a delay.
