It is against MD law to bring any alcoholic beverages aboard. If you would like to have a few beers during the trip, that is fine; however please keep in mind that excessive drinking will not be tolerated.
Sun screen, a hat and sunglasses are good to bring as the glare from the sun off the sea, can be strong. Always dress for a cooler day than forecast; many days it's 70 degrees on land, but it feels like 50 degrees on the ocean.
We supply hooks, sinkers and bait, but you're welcome to bring whatever tackle you like. You can bring a cooler if you like. We will give you a bucket to use or a bag for your fish if you don't have one.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE : We suggest getting to the boat about one half hour prior to sailing time. There is plenty of free dockside parking available. The boat and tackle shop are on the south side of the "Fish Tales" building. You can purchase your tickets in the tackle shop and board the boat. They usually begin boarding about 15 to 20 minutes before sailing time.
FISH CLEANING : You can get your fish cleaned back at the marina at the end of the trip. There are fish cleaning tables right on the dock and they will fillet your catch and bag them up for you.
