Layered clothing is a good idea, mornings are cold on the bay, but it can warm up out there. If you have rubber boots wear them. If not it will be fine. Flip flops or any open toed shoe not recommended.

We dock in the Santa Cruz Harbor at S DOCK SLIP 5, via your maps app we recommend putting in Johnny’s Harbor Side Restaurant, as that will bring you near dock where we are located.

Be sure to park at a meter, not a slip renter parking spot. Then buy the $13 day pass either at the kiosk or in the tackle shop (cash only).

Please arrive 15 minutes early & wait at the top of dock until instructed to board the boat. Our Crew will come to give you a bathroom key and gate key!

We do our best to ensure your comfort and safety. Yet with mixed groups of people, if someone gets sick, you will have to tough it out. We are unable to bring you back to the dock in most cases. Sorry!

Bonine and Dramamine are encouraged for people who are prone to sea sickness.

You must cancel at least 14 days in advance to receive a full refund or deposit refund, minus a 10% service fee.

Within 14 days before your charter, your deposit will only be refunded minus a 10% service fee, if we are able to re-book your scheduled reservation.

When you reserve a tour, we usually do not book anyone else for that time slot. Our seasons are very short and there are not large numbers of people to draw on to fill last minute cancellations.

If no notice is received and you do not show for your tour, you will be charged for full trip & receive no refund.

Please note the Captain reserves right to modify trip/fish plan if necessary, usually depending on weather, fishing conditions, or boat loads.
