Location: The boat is located at the Old Mill Yacht Club 16315 Cross Bay Boulevard, Howard Beach, NY, 11414. We will come up and open the green gate a few minutes before your trip leaves.

Please note that July through September all mixed bag trips and most tuna trips will leave out of Moriches NY, 60 miles east of NYC. The captain will be in touch before your trip with the details and address.

Parking: Please DO NOT park at the Old Mill Yacht Club. There is plenty of street parking on Cross Bay Boulevard and on the surrounding side streets behind the Dunkin’ Donuts. There is also a free public lot one block up on Cross Bay Boulevard next to Vetro Restaurant on the waterfront.

Tackle: All bait and quality tackle is supplied on the boat but feel free to bring a favorite rod if you have one.

Included: All charters include photos & videos, fishing licenses, tackle, bait, ice and fish filleting.

Deposits: A deposit is required to book your trip. The balance is due on the boat, payable in cash, zelle or credit card.

Cancelation policy: Deposits are non refundable but can be credited towards a future available date if requested with at least 7 days notice. At the Captain’s discretion, a charter may be canceled due to unsafe sea conditions or inclement weather. We do not cancel for rain. If a trip is canceled by the Captain, you will have the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.

What to bring: Rain jacket, sweat shirt, rubber boots or water shoes. It is often colder & wetter on the water, especially on the ride out. Drinks and food (iced storage and bottled water provided). Please leave hard coolers in your car, they slide around the deck and are a safety hazard. The boat has a built in cooler that will be full of ice when you arrive.

Motion seasickness pills: These are best taken the night before & again several hours before your trip begins.

Alcohol: Alcohol is allowed in moderation. No hard liquor or illegal drugs are allowed aboard. The Captain reserves the right to cancel the charter at any time due to intoxication. We want everyone to have a great trip but safety is our top priority and number one responsibility.

Gratuity: A 20% cash tip for the mate is customary on all of our charters.
